concordance of RR stack

[n.thieberger at linguistics.unimelb.edu.au]

Dear Runrevers

In the 1980s Mark Zimmerman made a concordance tool called FreeText 
(http://www.his.com/~z/c/index.html) available to the HyperCard 
community. There were two versions, one that built a  concordance of 
any text file, and another that built a concordance of a HyperCard 
stack's fields. He has made the source code, in C, available on his 
website.

I am writing to ask if anyone has built, or is interested  in 
buidling, a concordance tool for RR. I have a tool (called Audiamus) 
built in RR that links a set of transcripts to their media at the 
sentence level. I would very much like to have a concordance of the 
transcripts, but have no idea how to create a concordance that works 
as  quickly and neatly as FreeText did.

Any suggestions welcome!

thankss
