Mamae, with respect, I disagree that it is [completely] useless! The

Chinese ideograms ALONE can be used for Google searches for

further data.

 

Also, the original (CCTM) sequencing is a very useful summary of

TCM relationships - a quick " memory jag " , for example of organ

functions, syndromes, etc.

 

Mamae, would YOU undertake to edit the pinyin fields and add the

tones? How many lines can you edit? Please let me know offline.

 

What system [of translation] do you suggest?

 

MEANWHILE, there are many gaps (untranslated fields) in those

files. Would it not be best to fill in those gaps [as best we can]

ASAP? We can always take a second shot at the files (re-editing

by experts on the lists?) later, according to an agreed system.

 

Bob [Felt] - Is there any way that you could process these files

through your software and produce files with completed fields and

translation of the comments field on the far right of each row of

data?

 

 

Best regards,
