A friend of mine, is just putting the finishing touches on a hypercard
based concordance. SO far it is just genesis, (which he already had the text
for) but I will be getting him the full KJV fron TANK so He will probably
go the whole route.  The stack is simple, but quite nice.

When the work is completed I will post information on how to get it.

Since it will likely be quite huge, I doubt that it will be put online
but we'll see.
