Dear Robert, Tadao, and all,
Thank-you, Robert, for the useful information. As you may already have been
informed, I have just uploaded Andy Shaw's font conversion utility program
(Pt2REL.ZIP) to the palistudy files section for anyone who wants to get a
free copy without having to join the Pali group. It comes in a zip file so
you need to unzip it with another utility program like Winzip. PaliTrans 2.0
only works with the Windows 95 or higher operating system. I recently
started to use the program myself. But before that I had been using a simple
little macro program I created for Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS. Andy's program
is much more complicated to use and I find that I can't convert a complete
volume of say 700KB or higher (not sure what the limits are) at one go as
the program just closes up. I can get around it by converting the text in
large chunks. However, I do recommend this useful program for converting
texts like in Robert's example. One could also create a different character
conversion table to handle texts copied from the Budsir disk.
Robert, I will have more later to say on the Pali Tipitakam Concordance
which I have. I wouldn't recommend that you buy it. You'd be better off with
the searchable CSCD disk which works as a much more comprehensive
concordance and with faster results too! The disk is free but there is a
small shipping charge.
Best wishes,
Jim

Subject: [palistudy] Step by step to using Pali resources
Dear Group,
I know all of you are way ahead of me in using the various online
pali resources. But in case we get a non-computer literate member I
thought this will be of help.
