files etc.

Dear Jim,
Sounds like Canada is still a little chilly? We are starting to see
some warm weather in Japan now.
The files sound well-preserved. Very interesting about how the
dictionaries are ordered in pali. Is it then a western convention due
to the fact that sanskrit held the interest of early linguists or is
there some relationship to the anciinet pali grammarians (did they
have dictionaries?)
I was wondering if we could invite Alex tran to join? she has started
a translation into vietnamese of one of Sujin's books and might find
a few interesting points on this list.

I am going to start a little group for Dhamma study and Support
foundation members: this is mainly for discussing  issues incidental
to dhamma such as travel plans, translations, funding of projects and
for friendly banter among friends. The sort of stuff that could go on
dsg but is somewhat off-topic. Everyone on this list is invited to
join  and I hope we will get quite a few memebers so that we can keep
in closer contact. before I start it let me know if you think it is
worthwhile?

A final point I never thanked Jim publically for the GREAT help he
gave me a few weeks back during a major debate on dhamma-list . This
is the post I sent to dsg when I was explaining the ancient age of
the commentaries. Jims knowledge ensured the accuracy of the
information I was able to give.
