Dear list members

Has anyone managed to download this software? I've been trying since the message
was posted, at different times of the day, without success. The page won't
finish loading.

cheers

Subject: [Corpora-List] Free n-gram Software Released


> The recent flurry of discussion on n-gram software inspired me to revisit a
> project from last year.   I reprogrammed kfNgram using aspects of the
> "suffix array" approach described by Mikio Yamamoto and Kenneth W. Church
> and further developed by Chunyu Kit and Yorick Wilks.  The result was a
> quantum leap in performance which makes it useful even for large corpora.
> (It indexes the 25 million word CETENFolha corpus announced here last week
> in about 10 minutes on my Pentium III machine with  800 MHz processor and
> 256 MB RAM, then cranks out n-gram files in under a minute.)
>
> kfNgram supports user-defined character sets and sort orders, and its GUI
> (graphical user interface) makes it accessible even to casual users.
>
> This free Windows program is available at
> http://miniappolis.com/KWiCFinder/kfNgramHelp.html
> Suggestions and comments on its usability and performance will be  greatly
> appreciated.
