	A good malayalam translation for "software", if it can
convey the exact meaning, should always be welcomed. But IMHO
"Ganana Soothram" and "Mruthu saamagri"(soft-ware!) fails to convey
the exact meaning. If we couldn't find any suitable translation,
we can adopt the word "software" itself, which will make our
language "richer"
