Digital Pali Reader Files

DPR 2.4.1 Release Notes

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intro:

The Digital Pali Reader (DPR) is a tool, much like a book-format reader used 
in learning a new language, that facilitates learning the Pali language at an 
advanced level.  Rather than offering a translation for the text being 
read, a reader usually includes a dictionary with all of the difficult words 
found in the reader.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

This release is almost the same as 2.4 (except that it is a full release), 
fixing some problems and enhancing certain features lacking in 2.3.x.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

New in this release:

vis a vis 2.3.x:

1. fixes a typo bug in the section and sutta names script which cropped up in 
the last version kept them from showing correctly (thanks to Leland George 
for pointing it out).

2. works around the limitations of the tipitaka search by bouncing between one
function and another to give real-time results as the program searches through
the entire texts (also saves on the high cpu load)

3. tweaks the search engine to give links to the nikayas and fixes a bug which
kept the nikaya headings from appearing in the results.

vis a vis 2.4:

1. notifies the user if the Thai tipitaka is not installed properly when 
clicking the "T" button on the control panel.

2. includes INSTALL_DPR_2.4.1.TXT, finally some comprehensive installation
instructions which can be easily referenced.

3. includes an updated help file.

4. This is a full release, but does not include the dictionary files.  Please
see included INSTALL_DPR_2.4.1.TXT for complete installation instructions.
