The majority of which can be found here:

Pokorny is actually rather outdated.
It is available under the databases of:
http://iiasnt.leidenuniv.nl/

However that site is down quite often [now, for example].
I downloaded all the records awhile back though, and made a quasi-mirror
available at
http://frath.net/pokorny/

A 2.03 mb zip file of the whole thing is at
http://frath.net/pokorny/pokorny-full.zip

The HTML files are straight off the iiasnt server, so the links, which
call cgi scripts, dont work.  However the entries are (mostly) in
alphabetical order, which makes finding entries a little easier.  [I
should make an index for convenience' sake...]

Oh, and don't forget that the book is in German :)
