Sometime last year someone posted an article describing some software that did homophone matching that he had placed at some archive site. I got a copy of it at the time but have since lost it. Does anyone know where I can obtian a copy of this software ? Nirad Sharma (exnirad@brolga.cc.uq.oz.au) Continuing Education Unit The University of Queensland AUSTRALIA

Look at the "archie" posting soon to arrive or perhaps just arrived there.
then do
telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
login: archie
archie> set search sub # match substrings too
archie> set pager # small screen
archie> prog homophone
You'll get back a few references.
Or go to the comp.archives collection at wuarchive.wustl.edu and get the
comp.archives index, like so. there should be a comp.archives
collection somewhere in australia but I don't think it's been released yet.
ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu
login: anonymous
password: emv@msen.com (your name here)
ftp> cd /usenet/comp.archives/
ftp> hash
ftp> get Index myindex
####### (about 250 of these)
ftp> quit
% grep -i homophone
You'll get back a few more references; the full text of the references
can be had by fetching the articles from the same place.
This should help. If it's not enough, I can post the whole reference,
but I'd rather give you enough tools to fetch it on your own.
