Re 123 and Windows etc.
I would suggest that if you have to use a ps2/30 286, and if you have to
use Windows, that you forget 123 and use MS Excel instead, which works
nicely with Windows with 1mb ram, and gives all the advantages of DDE
(Dynamic data exchange).
This may not work so well, however, if your ps2 is linked to a network,
where memory overheads may well slow the system down far beyond the
user's tolerance.

In a recent posting, Stephen Parkinson (parkinson@vax.oxford.ac.uk)
asked about machine-readable texts in Portuguese or Brazilian.
Lita Taylor and Geoffrey Leech, in their Lancaster Preliminary Survey
of Language Corpora (May 1989) mention a corpus of Portuguese currently
under development at the Maria Tereza Camargo Biderman Institute of
Arts, Social Sciences and Education at Araraquara, Brazil. Sorry, no
contact person or address available.
The textbank, designed for a frequency dictionary of modern Portuguese,
consists of 3 million words of Brazilian Portuguese, 1 million words
of Portuguese Portuguese, and 1 million words of African Portuguese.
Novels, plays, journalistic sources, and scientific writings comprise
the sources used for the textbank.
