Sadhu, Yong Peng.

1. Get BPS's permission. You could email them: bps@... (I can't remember it. You can check their site.) Explain precisely what we want and what we intend to do with it.

2. (If they say okay) Ask if they could sent the text. If that's too much to ask, we could have the text scanned and read with an OCR software. (Do you have the book?) Editing would of course be necessary. Using Andy's PaliTrans would facilitate that.

Good luck!

metta,
Ven K
