If you have never used bangtex before, probably it is difficult to explain the advantage gained by using seicor. Roughly speaking, it makes typing of Bangla text faster and easier. In Bangla, some of the vowel signs go to the left of the associated consonant. For example, if you want to write "pen", the order of the characters appearing in Bangla type is "epn". But if you type it in the latter form, it is hard to recognize the word as "pen" on the screen. Normal bangtex provides a solution whereby you can typeset it as "\*p*en". If you use seicor, you can typeset this word as "pen" in your input tex file, run seicor on it, and the output contains "\*p*en". Then you run LaTeX on the resulting file.
It is recommended that you download seicor:
Keep it in the directory where you have kept the earlier files.Like in seicor, you will not need to use the bangtex \* commands for i-kar, e-kar etc. In addition, you do not have to use many of the capitalizations which are needed in bangtex. For example, "ataeb", after running mkbangtex, turns to "AtoEb", which is usual bangtex.
