Telugu Typing In Photoshop 7 0

Hi,
This is regarding using our regional language – Telugu in Adobe Photoshop CS3. We were working in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 version from long back on windows 98 and windows Xp. To get our regional language – Telugu, in Adobe Photoshop, we use a special application, running in the background, which sends the appropriate characters while we are typing. Because, in our Telugu langauge, there are around 56 characters and there are some thousands of characters with mixed characters. Thats why a company based in Chennai, India, designed a program which will run in the background and sends the appropriate keys while typing the characters. They produced around 50 fonts for our telugu langauge and almost our state, Andhra Pradesh, using these fonts very frequently. But now the main problem arises. We came to know that Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3 doesnt support this type of application running in the background and sending the appropriate keys, failed, even though we are working on the windows xp only. While other applications like CorelDRAW X3, Adobe PageMaker 7.0, Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 are supporting this type of application. Even though Adobe people stopped producing the further versions of Adobe PageMaker 7.0, we are still insisting with that only, because of this regional language software. We are unable to use this application either in Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS2, Adobe InDesign CS2, CS3 and other CS2 and CS3 applications. Another interesting thing about this is, we bought the background application for typing our regional language for Rs. 12,000/- (Indian Rupees) and when we enquired about the same with their support team, they told that they are not planning to release any new version of their application for CS2 or CS3 and they stopped listening to our problem. Even though, Adobe people has released the latest and versions with many enhancements, many people in our state are not able to upgrade or willing to buy or go to this latest Adobe Software, CS2 or CS3. Another interesting thing is because of this silly application, many designers and graphic artists are still breathing in Windows 98 with their Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo processor computers. They are not at all want to upgrade their base operating system because of no support for Telugu language in the latest adobe versions. Only a limited number of people (Ofcourse, they can be counted on fingers), are using the latest versions. But when they want to use Telugu language in Adobe CS2 or CS3 applications, they are first typing the required layers in old versions and they are opening them in new versions and using them. The great pain in this is, if there are any corrections, they have to work completely from the scratch. I guess there are so many other languages like Chinese, Japaneses etc, having double – byte or multi byte characters in their languages, are successfully using Adobe CS2 and CS3 applications in their language. As Telugu is only used in Andhra Pradesh, is this the reason behind adobe neglected indian languages. Anyway, now i want to know is there any one on this forum can help us in any technology or development assitance or development instructions or any other help regarding this problem. As we are already using these fonts, we want to continue using these fonts in the future too. B'coz, many customers, know the font names, even though they are not that good at computers at all. So, any one please help me in this or give atleast an idea to get working telugu in adobe CS2 or CS3 versions. This definitely, increase the sales of Adobe CS3 Suits in Andhra Pradesh. I gaurantee this. Ofcourse, its not the problem with the sales of Adobe CS3 Suits, but its the problem with our language application. Help me in this context.
