The current version is compiled with Microsoft Visual Fox Pro version 6, and is
named BOD_X_ followed by the version number (e.g. BOD_X_7_29.EXE).
It has been tested under:
- - Windows 98, 2000 and XP,
- - LINUX with WINE configured as "nt351" (I personally tested the SUSE 9 release),
output document files in RTF format with OpenOffice need the BOD_GPL font in Type1
format (also available on request)
- - users reported a successfull use under MAC with Windows emulation.

Create a \BOD_X directory in your hard disk (or use a directory name of your
choice but avoid spaces and strange characters in name).
Unzip the downloaded files and libraries into \BOD_X directory:
no installation is required, the register file is not affected, just add the BOD_GPL
font to your system.
BOD_GPL FONT
The Tibetan OCR Project, conducted by Don Stilwell, created Tibetan typefaces
(in the form of True Type Fonts) that are released freely and at no cost
on the Internet. The fonts and the outlines are released under the
GNU General Public License (GPL) for everyone's use.
The font used by BOD_X uses the same glyphs arranged in the
"Robillard / Tibetan for Windows" code.
