Re: Digital Pali Reader 2.3.2

Dear Ole, Eisel, all,

Here's a step-by-step guide to downloading and installing the DPR in its
current form.  First of all, the latest "release" does not contain the
local dictionary files.  This is done only for cosmetic purposes, as you
can still download the local dictionaries from the previous release. 
Here's how to get it all:

1) First, get the main script file in its latest release:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/digitalpali/DPR_2.3.3.zip?download

Put it in a safe place, perhaps on your desktop.  This archive contains
the main javascript/html shell, along with the sutta and vinaya pitakas
+ their commentaries from the Burmese Fifth council edition.  Don't
unzip it yet, it'll just get confusing.

2) Next, download the Thai Tipitaka plugin:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/digitalpali/DPR_ThaiPali_2.3.3.zip?download

Put it in the same safe place as the first file.  This file contains a
unicode roman version of the standard Thai tipitaka. Don't unzip it yet
either.

3) Finally, get the local dictionary files from the older release (2.3.2):

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/digitalpali/DPR_LocalDict_2.3.2.zip?download

Put it in the same same place as the other two files.  This file
contains the complete PED and Dictionary of Pali Proper Names.  Don't
unzip it yet.

4) Unzip the files in this order to the same directory (say "yes" if it
asks to overwrite the file "DPR/js/remotecheck.js"):

     a) DPR_2.3.3.zip
     b) DPR_ThaiPali_2.3.3.zip
     c) DPR_LocalDict_2.3.2.zip

If you have done this correctly, you should end up with four directories
in the same place, as follows:

     /DPR/
     /PED/
     /DPPN/

Each of the above directories will have sub-directories, that is not so
important to start with.

5) To start the reader, you have to go into the DPR directory and open
index.html (I forgot to put a link to it outside of the directory in
this release).

Once you have it up and running, click on the little button with a
question mark to read the help file.  To open the Thai tipitaka, click
on the appropriate button, marked "T".  All of the buttons have
tooltips, just hover the mouse over the button to read the description
of what the button does.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
