It's not terribly good. I'm only using it because I want to
make an e-text of the Tha Ma O edition with footnotes giving
the variant readings from the Mahachula edition of the so-called
Muulakaccaayana (a Thai domestic production with the suttas
differently ordered and some Ruupasiddhi explns.
incorporated into them) and using the VRI edition as a base
obviously saves typing time.

Regarding the CSCD, an Apple-user (I am one myself) need
only copy the text files onto his hard disk and then use a
search and replace program to change the characters so that
they map to his preferred font. Lance wrote such a program
and it used to be available on Frank Snow's homepage. I
used it to convert all the files on the first CD. Then when the
second one came out I used BBEdit to do the same thing.
