Bod_X, database format

11/27/2003 just heard from Leonardo Gribaudo:

"Some sites have upgraded and my software is near to a new release. On the CD there are missing or corrupted files.
Here is the web and email references."

Please download the latest version of BOD_X, a fully running software. Leonardo also has a new documentation of his program in a downloadable PDF file.

Search program for Mac

9/17/2003 I just heard from Gerry Wiener ):

"The search program is now available for free download at www.nitartha.org. I made a few fixes to the software based on feedback from group members. Thanks for your assistence. At this time the program only supports English. At a later time, we'll add Tibetan script. You probably need the Jaguar release of Mac OSX to run it. If you have an earlier release of MacOSX, it may not work."

Hope this is helpful. The user group is a Yahoo eGroup (Tibetan-English_Dictionary-User_group@yahoogroups.com).

Another Mac person uses Virtual PC program on the Mac.

7/10/2003 Gerry is currently working on improving the Sambhota dictionary search program to include the presentation of Tibetan script. A dictionary search program for MacOSX is currently being beta-tested and will be available soon. Please check the Nitartha International web site, www.nitartha.org, for update information and for new releases.

Best wishes, Erik
