Dear Bryan,

The PTS texts references are given at the bottom line (the footer) of the
Pali page. I notice not an versions do this, but CSCD version 4 does. Sadly
I think it runs only on Windows XP, not Vista not Windows 7.

You need to instal it in you computer for this to work. That much I know.
maybe others might give more info, like is there any new version (for
Windows 7) available?

I have to access CSCD 4 on my wife's computer (XP) using home networking.

Best wishes,

Piya
