[cgreek:00039] Re: Today's version of tlgutil

Dear Dr.Smith,

I tried your TLG-utilities (v. 2000.07.24).

(1) As there were some "vestigia" of your experimentations concerning tlg-
    translation and tlgd, I modified them.

(2) As for tlgd, I inserted and deleted (tlg-start-tlgd) and (tlg-stop-tlgd),
    for I think it would be better that the asynchronious process of tlgd
    exits only when TLG-beta-code is converted.

(3) As I found that some Greek titles (e.g. Aristotle's "Athenaion Politeia")
    were not correctly displayed in the mode line, I modified the function
    tlg-open-sigle-work as following:

    .................

    (setq
      tlg-author 
        (tlg-translate-beta
           (concat "$" (buffer-substring (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))))
      tlg-title 
        (tlg-translate-beta
           (concat "$" (buffer-substring (match-beginning 2) (match-end 2))))
      tlg-title-abbr 
        (tlg-translate-beta
           (concat "$" (buffer-substring (match-beginning 3) (match-end 3))))
      tlg-auth-abbr 
        (tlg-translate-beta
           (concat "$" (buffer-substring (match-beginning 4) (match-end 4))))
    )
    .................


      # I am not sure whether this modification is necessary in the last two
      # cases too.

    From this modification, both the Latin and Greek titles are now correctly
    displayed in the mode line.

      # In case of "Athenaion Politeia" of Aristotle, there is an unnecessary
      # acute accent at the beginning of the title, I guess it may be a
      # data-bug of TLG CD-ROM itself.


On your another subject,

I think it depends on your decision, because it is you who mainly developped
tlg-utilities, though we have prepared the cgreek environment of emacs.

What do you think about it, Takahashi-san, Kamata-san and Kawazoe-san?
