In re-reading my previous post, I realize that I failed to make completely
clear an important point.
What I should have said is that although there are some great Unix/Linux
programs to allow Web access to corpora (e.g. IMS Corpus Workbench,
ht://Dig, WebGlimpse, etc), my perception is that there is much less
available for the PC/NT platform, at least as far as programs that
**provide a web interface**, and which allow for the size of corpora, speed
of searching, and KWIC formatting that I discussed. I think that it is the
(apparent) lack of web interfaces for the ** PC/NT ** platform that might
justify new approaches to the problem, and that this isn't (as) much of an
issue on the Unix/Linux side, where very good programs already
exist. Sorry for any confusion that this may have created.
