Kacc images; return to Canada

Hi Jim,
(1) I would be delighted to receive the images of the Kacc.
Suttapatho from you as an attachment --"my" edition will include the
Suttapatho as a separate text (i.e., useful both as a table of
contents for the complete work, and also useful in the process of
memorization) --although this 1894 Sinhalese edition might be largely
identical to my 1904 Sinhalese edition.
(2) I am writing in a bit of a hurry, as I have suddenly had to plan
a return trip to Canada (unforeseen passport issues). I will be able
to bring the 1904 edition mentioned, and a few other Pali grammatical
oddities, for Jim to inspect / photocopy. I will then return to Laos
after about two weeks. Sadly, this hastily-planned trip will "put a
dent" in my productivity --I will not get as much work done on the
book as I had planned (between the present and my trip to Sri Lanka).
Jim, maybe you could send me a message off-list and let me know if you
already have Senart's, Vidyabhusana's, or Piyaratana's edition of
Kacc.? If you have none of them, I'll bring them all with me --and I
suppose we could meet either in Toronto or Orillia?
(3) My computer "almost exploded" after several hours of working on
Pali grammatical tables in indigenous scripts --I don't know if I'll
get *any* further work done on the book (or Narada's book, etc.), as
the problem is either very fundamental to the software, or is at the
hardware level. This is one of the few cases in which it is hard to
tell what is wrong --but the problem is "quite profound".
E.M.
