        Are you using a computer for linguistic analysis? Access of
big foreign language data bases (Toronto Old English Dbase, or the
Thesaurus Linguae Graecae for example)? analysis or storage
of variant reading or versions? dictionary projects?

        We have been doing a lot here, but nobody seems to have any
overall picture of what is being done round about. I would like to
find out and think its time those who are doing much the same thing
started talking. Any ideas on where a lot of work is being done and
how to facilitate communication?
