one more thing to add, the books was published 1928-66,it is not even 90 years .So Jon please tell me what is copyright means for a buddhist like you?You are a guy who  has profound knowledge  about pali but no idea what is the basic precept.?
I can tell you 82 pounds is still affordable  for thai or malaysians.If Jon you want to do dhamma dana just buy the books and donate .
Bye.

If some publisher spend money to publish saddaniti,there shouldn't be any more free download online.I think the price is not too expensive.

I don't want to argue with Jon or anyone but please be reasonable.

Dear George Bell;



Thanks for this translation.



"There may be people with old software who will need Velthuis"



Velthuis has the advantage that it can be quickly converted to

traditional PTS diacriticals with:



http://pali. sirimangalo. org/convertpad. htm



(Note: It looks like the original was an html web page.Some of the

special characters like ā sisn't come through right. If you sent

the web page, it could be posted and also printed as a pdf also.)



I keep links to the core set of Pali translation tools mentioned in

this list at:



http://delicious. com/search? context=userpost s&p=palitools& lc=1&u=jonfernqu est



"...contain only a link to the web archive. That means you can

consult the book only when you are online"



You can definitely download and read on your computer. In fact, I have

printed several volumes of works from that site (archives.org) and

bound them in hardcover for a hundred baht or so in Bangkok.



In the list of works available the Dhatupatha and Dhatumanjusa on Pali

roots and the literal translation of Kaccayana by Senart and the

dictionary by Childers are real finds and finally what looks to be a

complete three volume set of Jatakas in ebook form. Will have to check

to see if archive.org has some mechanism for making requests, Helmut

Smith's Saddanitti published in the 1920s should be coming into the

public domain soon.



With metta,

Jon Fernquest
