Dear Harry,

Pali: Do you know the book "Pali Reader" from Johansson? In my eyes, it is
one of the best intro books, because of the way he explains pali: Each
chapter first contains a short pali passage from the suttas. Then he gives
an interlinear translation and a modern english translation. This is
followed by a word by word explanation and a section on relevant grammar.
That way, while reading "real stuff" you are guided from the easy points to
the more subtle grammar rules. I really like his approach.

On getting the pali text reader up and running:
I did 99% of the programming with #Develop 1.1 - if you have it installed
you should be able to load and compile the "combines" (project files) as is
when checking out. However the "PaliViewer" i had to develop with Visual
Studio .NET 2003 (VStudio 7) because the IE control which i customized for
viewing pali texts (especially integrating a customized context menu!!) was
not possible to compile with the #Develop IDE. So for the PaliViewer you ge=
t
a visual studio solution file.

Now you are right, when you have set .NET 2.0 as your default compiler
setting, you will get errors - its another task we will have to focus on
sooner or later, that is to shift the development towards .NET 2.0 - i
really want to go there, but as some of the pali group members even demande=
d
a .NET 1.0 version because of their limited hard- and software i think i
will continue with development in -NET 1.1 until we get a stable beta. Then=
,
we could shift to 2.0 and include some features which are limited to .NET
2.0

To cut it short: I think that you can set the project options in visual
studio for your compiler - just install the .NET 1.1 redistributable / SDK
on your PC (it can run side by side with .NET 2.0) - then, you will be
allowed to switch the compiler option to compiling a project for the .NET
1.1

Another important thing: you will already have discovered, that the Pali
Text Reader is very modular. Thus, when you open a combine it will have
other DLLs included. If they are missing (because you did not compile them
before, or the path leading to the DLL is not correct) you will get the
"could not find resource" error. Initially you can grab the DLLs from the
regular Pali Text Reader setup. Later on, you may want to start compile eac=
h
sub-project for itself to generate all necessary moduls yourself.

I will send you a document i designed for Patrick Holloway and Frank Snow
which contains a short summary about all classes / projects and their
dependencies. This will help you. Unfortunatly i am not at home this
weekend, so you might get it on Monday...

Any questions remaining, let me know! - I am also very interested whether w=
e
get the CSCD into open source - that would make many things easier -

mett=E2ya,

Lennart

PS: Just for your info: i am right now focused on creating a search plugin
like the search function in the CSCD software - indexing and search is done=
,
i simply "diverted" this activity a bit lately for the Pali Group, you
remember, but hopefully this is the next part i get done.
