The last version of Lekhani came out in 2001. Some of the leading computer magazines included one of these two versions in their CDs. About 1,20,000 free copies of version 1 and 1.1 (for Windows 95) were distributed. It included the first ever font containing glyphs of DevaNagari and Latin.
In 1996, Akhilesh Gupta released version 1 of Lekhani as shareware. Emend was later renamed as Lekhani/Lekhni (लेखनी lekhanee).
In 1993, Akhilesh Gupta wrote a bilingual plain-text editor 'Emend' for processing DevaNagari along with English (for Windows 3.1). A Hindi Word-Processor लेखनी LeKhaNi/LekhniĭevaNagari is the script used for writing Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi and some other languages of South Asia.
