Re: abhidharmakosha

In connection with this request, a few of you may find this Sanskrit OCR
program useful if you haven't tried it yet:

http://www.sanskritreader.de/Software/software.htm

Of course, it will work just as well with Pali. But the degree of success,
as with all OCR programs, depends upon the legibility of the print.

But you are actually doing your teacher a disservice: if he/she were to type
out the whole of the ADKosha by themself -- with a little help when they get
stuck -- then I can guarantee that they will be able to read devanagari
fluently at the end.

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
