Dear Pali community, I have added to the site
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pali/files/ files that might be very useful:

- Nyânatiloka's Buddhist Dictionary ( a glossary in fact, a great classic),
4th Ed. 1980, as a .pdf file.

- Buddhadatta's English-Pali dict. Velthuis scheme, as a .txt file - thank
you Michel.

- Buddhadatta's Pali-English dict. Velthuis scheme, as an Excel4 file (easy
to transform to a text file) - thank you Dimitry.

This way, they can be used by anyone without worry about fonts.

Reminder of the Velthuis scheme:

aa, ii, uu for a, i, u long
.t(h), .d(h), .n for the cacuminals or (linguo-)retroflexes ("cerebrals")
.l for the "eli" voyel
"n for the velar (or guttural) nasal
"m or .m for the niggahiita.
