Dear Brian,

Apparently, the Dhammakaya people took the liberty to digitize much if not
all of the PTS materials.

I'm not sure how it turned out later. As far as I know the PTS has never
taken legal action against anyone, esp a Buddhist organization which should
know better :)

For years I have tried to locate these materials, too. Surely someone out
there has them or info on them. Do inform us please.

With metta,

Piya
