Re: Scans of the original Burmese Chattha Sangayana Tipitaka

Dear Jim,

Thank you, that's great... just to clarify, they are PDFs, but not
scans... they are typed, or OCR'ed, I'm not sure.  The editing looks
great (especially by Burmese standards :) ), but only a closer look will
tell...

The only problem for me is that they are not Unicode, so copying and
pasting doesn't work... here's a sample:

3. YÈ pana bhikkhunÊ saÒcicca manussaviggahaÑ jÊvitÈ voropeyya,
satthahÈrakaÑ vÈ’ssa pariyeseyya, maraÓavaÓÓaÑ vÈ saÑvaÓÓeyya,
maraÓÈya vÈ samÈdapeyya “ambho purisa kiÑ tuyhiminÈ pÈpakena
dujjÊvitena, mataÑ te jÊvitÈ seyyo”ti, iti cittamanÈ cittasa~kappÈ
anekapariyÈyena maraÓavaÓÓaÑ vÈ saÑvaÓÓeyya, maraÓÈya vÈ
samÈdapeyya, ayampi pÈrÈjikÈ hoti asaÑvÈsÈ.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
