Dear Harry and friends,

thanks. I have a better picture now. However, many of the pages on
Tipitaka.net are served by PHP scripts. You may still capture them
individually and save them all for offline viewing. I am sure many
people will appreciate your work.

Your proposal for such a system also highlights that the Pali section
on Tipitaka.net is due for a better design. When the site moved to a
new server in December 2004, I started work on a new design for the
entire site. All the contents remain, but the navigational aids and
graphical components are being reworked. Some of the sections still
remain undone. This is mainly due to my work, and other commitments.
This year has also been quite an eventful one for me, running into
some problems here in Brisbane, Australia.

Apart from that, all are going fine. I have thought about a new
design for the Pali section, which will bring together all the Pali
resources in a useful manner. It will not be ready until the new
year, but I will let the group know when it is done.


metta,
Yong Peng.

This 'software' is a collections of linked throw-away web pages

linked html files and textfiles, there is nothing else (no .exe,
asp, php, and so on). No installation is needed. Apart from a basic
PC or laptop with a web browser such as Internet Explorer or
Firefox, no other supporting software is needed. It is a very simple
standalone, with one common interface for all files, does not run
outside a web browser, and does not require internet access. The
whole program contains study materials downloaded from Tipitaka.net
and www.geocities.com/paligroup/ organized in the form of a small
but fully functional local desktop 'website' with html and text
files only. A localhost or web server is not needed.
