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 ? 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. -- Msen Edward Vielmetti /|--- moderator, comp.archives emv@msen.com ps. it should be on your local NeXT archive.
