Hi Jim,

I'm sorry I didn't realize what you were planning to do, which seems
like a very useful project.  I will ask more people to help collecting
information, and I am glad you are willing to wait since the daughter
of a friend of mine teaches in several institutions including the
Buddhist university at Wat Maha That, although at the moment she is
lecturing in Europe for the next few months, will be able to help us
when she gets back. 

Will report further,

Amara
