I am trying to help a user select an IBM-compatible product that will permit him to create a lengthy scholarly multi-language work involving the extensive annotation of whole texts. The texts are going to be in Spanish, the annotations mostly in French; the ultimate placement of the annotations must be flexible, i.e. the user is not sure yet if he wants to display the original text as the main body of the printed book, with the annotations as footnotes/endnotes, or adopt a multi-column format (column 1 = text, column 2 = annotations), or even use an alter- nating line arrangement, where lines of annotations appear above the text they refer to (and presumably in a different typeface). It does have to work on an IBM-compatible platform, otherwise the user is willing to try anything. Any ideas? Jeff Perry CIT/Princeton University JEFF@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU
