RE: Step by step to using Pali resources

Dear Jim,
It all seems to work and the little box pops up (immediately) saying job
completed but I can't find the file where the conversion is located. It
seems to convert it too fast?
Does Budsir come with roman charcters and would it be worthwhile to buy?
best
robert

   In the program's window, highlight the volume (only one at a time) that
you
   want to save and press <convert>. Once it is saved to the output folder on
   the hard drive a little screen will pop up saying that the job is done.
You
   may have to change the drive letter where the cscd disk is located. On my
   laptop I have to change it from E: to D:. There aren't too many character
   encodings (just 4) to choose from so you will have to use Palitrans 2.0 to
   convert the vri encoding to the velthuis scheme or whatever other encoding
   you want it in. Tell me if you have the same problem I have with Andy's
   program in that it doesn't seem to handle large volumes at one go. I very
   much like the velthuis scheme which looks great in Times New Roman and is
so
   much more practical and easier to use especially in list email and on
   webpages. One problem with the cscd disk is that you have to load up the
   whole volume whenever you want to look at just one paragraph or page. The
   Budsir disk works much better this way in that it only loads up a page at
a
   time.

   Jim
