[Corpora-List] BNC in XML?

[Burnard Towers]

The answer to most of these questions is yes.  The software you need is
indeed the pizzachef, and osx. I have now written a web page giving full
details of how to use them for this purpose: check out
http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/migration.html  -- only a preliminary version,
but it should get you started.

Comments and further suggestions welcomed.
