I'll send the font (normal only) to you offlist. As for the scanning, I can do it only next week as I'll be leaving for the conference tomorrow morning.

I'd like to add that we do not plan to leave it as it is. It's a base on which we shall improve upon by integrating definitions and explanations from other sources, such as Ven. Narada's book.

We would also place a link to the BPS site. If there's a webpage on the book, we may place a link direct to it as well. In that way, the page also acts as a promotion for BPS and also the book as an appreciation. Right, Yong Peng?

May all grow joyfully in loving-kindness and wisdom.

sincerely,
