Your guess is off the mark... the PTS dictionaries actually do work, and
it has nothing to do with documentation. Just unzip the two files in
the same directory and they will create the proper directories
themselves. Don't put any folder inside of another folder yourself, it
will do it for you. The release notes on sourceforge (the documentation
you mentioned as not existing) cover this, I think.

I am not at liberty to say :) The DPR contains both the Burmese fifth
council edition and (optionally) the Syaamara.t.tha edition.
