Computerization of Tibetan Works Possessed by Otani University

本研究项目的目的是开发和改进麦金塔藏文系统“麦金塔藏文工具包”，并利用该系统实现大谷大学藏文著作的计算机化。1995-1997财政年度的研究结果如下：(1)麦金塔藏文软件的开发与完善。该系统的发展于1995年6月完成。1995年6月底在奥地利举行的第七届国际西藏研究会议上展示了该系统，并向所有希望获得该系统的人免费分发了该系统的副本（软盘和英文手册）。同时，介绍了大谷大学正在编撰的《藏文作品目录》和《金匮匮略》电子版的概况。1995年11月在大谷大学举行的日本藏学学会第四十三次会议上，也介绍了藏文系统和电子目录，并免费分发了该系统的副本（软盘和日文手册）。在两次会议上，这些材料都受到了极大的欢迎。随着麦金塔操作系统的升级，需要升级藏文工具包，这项工作已于一九九八年三月完成。这时对字体进行了修改，增加了一种新的木版字体。(2)大谷大学藏文藏文作品计算机化。下列目录和文本已电脑化。(i)目录(a)大谷大学藏藏藏文作品目录(b) stan 'gyur金手稿目录（ii）文本(a) Bu-ston的佛教史（Bu-ston's Chos byung）(b) Mi la ras pa传

The aim of this research project is to develop and improve the Tibetan Language Kit for Macintosh, a Tibetan language system for the Macintosh computer and to computerize Tibetan works possessed by Otani University using this system. The results of the research for 1995-1997 fiscal years were as follows.(1) The Development and Improvement of the Tibetan Language Kit for Macintosh, a Tibetan Language System for the Macintosh Computer.The development of this system was completed in June, 1995. The system was shown at the Seventh International Conference for Tibetan Studies held in Austria at the end of June, 1995, and copies of the system (floppy disk and English manual) were distributed free of charge to all who wished to obtain it. At the same time, summaries of the electronic versions of the Catalog of Tibetan Works and Catalog of the Golden Manuscript bsTan 'gyur, which is now being compiled by Otani University, were introduced. The Tibetan system and the electronic catalogs were also introduced at the Forty-third Conference of the Japanese Association for Tibetan Studies held at Otani University in November, 1995, and copies of the system (floppy disk and Japanese manual) were distributed free of charge. In both conferences, these materials were received with great enthusiasm.With the upgrading of the Macintosh OS,these arose the need to upgrade the Tibetan Language Kit, and this work was completed in March 1998. At this time, the fonts were revised, and a new font in the woodblock style was added.(2) Computerization of Tibetan Works Possessed by Otani University.The following catalogs and texts were computerized.(i) Catalogs(a) Catalog of Tibetan Works kept in Otani University(b) Catalog of the Golden Manuscript bsTan 'gyur(ii) Texts(a) History of Buddhism by Bu-ston (Bu-ston's Chos 'byung)(b) Biography of Mi la ras pa
