(Don?) >======== Let me add my two cents, I have also been modifying and extending the WSU IPA. Several years ago not knowing of the WSU work, I also began work on an IPA (more or less as the people around here needed the characters). When I compared my stuff with the WSU stuff, I found I preferred some of my characters, and, that I had some stuff that they didn't have. (We had a person here a few years ago working on a Hausa-English dictionary, so, we have such things as hooked capital D, B, and K.) If people are interested in looking at them, they can anonymous ftp them from csli.stanford.edu, pub/TeXfiles/Phonetic.tar.Z. At the moment, I am trying to improve a few characters and trying to adapt the style files (latex) to use the Mittelbach/Schoepf font scheme. Emma Pease emma@csli.stanford.edu
