Good and thanks, I look forward to that.

yes, that's the bug I reported a few weeks back.

Thanks for the instruction manual which you have now made available
for cgreek21.

May I take this opportunity of congratulating you on the implemention
of incremental search for greek words in cgreek? Works very well. Now
all we need is a search function for the whole TLG disk or selected
parts of it and then we would need no other software to read and
search the TLG. Could you not link cgreek with grep somehow to permit
searches like that?
