Subject:Upgrades to arabiCorpus

Thanks to some kind users who provided me with electronic versions of
a number of texts, some aspects of arabiCorpus have been beefed up,
particularly the pre-modern section.  New sections include a very good
selection of early grammars, quite a few collections of Hadith, Ibn
Khladun's Muqaddima, Al-Aghani of Isfahani, and a few works by
Al-Jahiz, and a Fiqh book by Ibn Hanbal.  There is also a new novel.
The instructions have also been somewhat improved, and the capability
of searching individual works has been added to the advanced search
section.  It is also now easier to find out the total number of words
of individual parts of the corpus.  In case you haven't been back for
awhile, some time ago a new Collocations section was added which lists
words in the vicinity of the search term, not just those right next to
it.  You can also now download a file with all the citations instead
of having to copy them out by hand.
I will copy below the list of the new works added.
If any of you have electronic versions of texts you would like to see
added, please send them on (text or rtf files NOT pdf files).  I am
especially interested in Nahda era texts.  Also if you have any
suggestions of features you would like to see in the corpus in the
future, send those as well.
