I did ask about this cdrom in Religious affairs ,yangon but they said that
don't know anything about it.It seems that from internet silananda is in US
for many years.I have to mention that in france they do cdrom of Cambodia
tipitaka in scan format from the book which should be the only way instead
of retyping the text into roman script.
Why we need a cdrom so badly ?Silananda will be doing real dhamma job if he
can edit those never published books like Jataka tika and
gantipada,Anguttara purana tika,Saccasankhepa purana-nava
tika,namarupapariccheda purana-nava tika ,Nettigantipada or translate pali
grammar text into english for those hardtoread texts like
niruttisaramanjusa,or publish unpublished grammar texts like mahanirutti.
