The disk with the setup program on it  contains all the files for Durioselle's Practical grammar of the pali language.  Because they are compressed you will need to uncompress them on a PC.

This disk only contains this file plus Paligram.pdf for viewing on a Macintosh with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Run the setup.exe program on the disk on a PC and it will
create a directory called C:\paligram on your PC which will contain the following files in uncompressed form.

1. Paligram.pdf is a pdf(Portable Document Format)file with fonts embedded that is a complete version of the grammar book files but with a few extra parts.  It can  be viewed and printed on PC or Macintosh using Adobe Acrobat Reader.  You don't need the font to read it.  Adobe Acrobat is a free piece of software available on the internet at Adobes web site.  I am sending the Mac installation disks with this, because I know BPS uses Macs. 

2. paligram.pm5 is the Pagemaker source file with 173 pages of the grammar book. You will need to have PageMaker 5.0 for Windows and the Norman font installed to view this file and the next as well

3. PGcontent.pm5 is the file with the front page and  table of contents in it.

4. Paligram.rtf is a Rich text format version containing all the text in paligram.pm5. It can be imported into word for windows or for macintosh.
You will need to have Norman font on your PC to view it.  IF you have the Mac version of Norman font it is different from the PC font so you will need to write a conversion Macro to find and replace characters to suit the Mac font set.  This is a big headache though not impossible.  I have done it for Mac to PC files not for PC to Mac, but the best solution is to use a PC in the first place.  I have included a copy of my macro below.

5. PGcontent.rtf is an rtf version of PGcontent.pm5

6. Norman.ttf is the font used for the windows version it won't be useful for mac users. Install it onto your PC using the Fonts section of Control Panel. This font is also available from the Website of the Journal of Buddhist Ethics. The last page of Paligram.pdf shows the character set for this font together with their ASCII character numbers.

7. This readme file.

Here is the macro that I wrote for converting Mac Norman font files to Pc Norman font files.
