Fwd: Omaha concordances (fwd)

[Koontz John E]

These materials were prepared by Matthew Dryer for the use of Ardis
Eschenberg, based on the Siouan Archives keying of the Dorsey texts.
He's kindly agreed to let me post the information on the list, too, as I
thought perhaps others would also be interested.

He adds "If after all that [reference to typos in the texts JEK], you want
to tell others about it, that's fine, though you might also want to
mention that the accent mark only comes out OK on Windows (on my Mac it
comes out as a capital Y with two lines through it)."

>These concordances are meant to be looked at on one's computer screen.
>They are far too long to print out.  (If you tried, they would be over
>20,000 pages.)
>
>There are three concordances, the main one (Omaha, alphabetical), the
>reverse Omaha one, and the English-based one.  Each concordance contains
>20 or more documents, one for each letter.  Each concordance also contains
>an additional document with the suffix "list" (before the .rtf suffix)
>which is a list of all the words in the order they occur in that
>concordance and their frequency in the Dorsey texts.
>
>They are all RTF documents.  Except for the list documents, they must be
>opened from within Microsoft Word on a Mac.  I don't know if this is also
>necessary in Windows.  The choice of nonstandard characters is based on
>what seems to work in Windows (the accent mark does not come out right on
>a Mac).  A tilde using its own space is used for the nasalization symbol.
>
>There are three StuffIt documents, one for each of the three concourdance.
>Each will expland into a folder containing the 20 or more documents making
>up that concordance.  Each of the three StuffIt documents is about 4MB.
>When unstuffed, these three concordances require a total of about 80MB of
>hard disk space.
