Which word processor on which operating system? I can type
Romanized Unicode Pali in OpenOffice on Linux using standard
keboard layouts, and there are other such combinations. We
should collect this information and put it into the FAQ for this
list, and into a more general Unicode Pali HOWTO.

9 MB zip file.

Google does not have a search function for pages in Pali. It
would be helpful if one of the sites hosting a set of Tipitaka
files were to license the Google engine to index their
collection, but somewhat expensive. There are other methods for
generating an electronic concordance using Free Software.
