[Corpora-List] concordance program for large files

[Emiliano Guevara]

Don't waste money:

Laurence Anthony's AntConc is free, multiplatform, and does most of what
other commercial packages do (freq. lists, concordancing, collocates,
keywords).

http://www.antlab.sci.waseda.ac.jp/antconc_index.html

My students use AntConc with corpora as big as 5M words, but it starts
feeling sluggish over 3M words.

However, all the current stand-alone programs suffer this problem.
Someone in this thread just said that WSTools can manage
"with the whole of BNC", but it is not true. At least not in this part
of the world....
