Dear Jim,

thanks. The SLTP has also released the following in electronic version:

. [Grammar] .
. Baalaavataara [CPD class 5.1.5]
. Kaccaayana Dhaatuma~njuusaa (incomplete)
. Dhaatupaa.tha Vilaasiniya [CPD class 5.5.1]
. Kaccaayanavyaakara.na
. Moggallaayanavyaakara.na
. Moggallaana Vuttivivara.napa~ncikaa
. Padama~njarii
. Padasaadhana
. Mahaaruupasiddhi [CPD class 5.1.4]
. Saddabindu pakara.na [CPD class 5.4.5]
. Vaakyamaalaava
. [Misc:Dictionary] .
. Abhidhaanappadiipikaa [CPD class 5.6.1]
. [Misc:Rhetoric] .
. Subodhaala`nkaara [CPD class 5.8.1]

Both the CSCD and SLTP have Kaccaayanabyaakara.na readily available to
the public, while PTS has Dr Ole Pind and Eisel Mazard currently
working on two editions of it.

As for Saddaniiti, CSCD only contains the first two of its three
parts. So, the PTS version is probably the only complete version
easily available in Roman script.

metta,
Yong Peng.

I would personally recommend the Kaccaayanabyaakara.na as a good one
to start with. It's the oldest extant Pali grammar and there are quite
a few commenataries written on it. The Saddaniiti is also very good
(the one that Warder refers to as his authority) and H. Smith's
edition does often come in handy as a reference manual.
