I obtained QV2 only yesterday, but so far can report that it works quite
well. I got the New RSV text and retrieval is very fast (because it is
completely indexed). Takes a little over 3mb. The ability of a
supplemental program called QV Companion to output text directly into a
word processor (in my case WP5.1) is truely remarkable. No intermediate
files and complete flexibility in both your request (word matches or
reference) and in format.
It is not true boolean logic, but you can do searches in the formats:
& word1 word2 (gets verses with both words)
| word1 word2 (gets verses with either word)
I would be glad to respond to specific questions, but can report that my
initial impression is very positive.

A parsing project that may not be well known was done by Thomas
Rindflesch, U of Minnesota Ph.D. dissertation, I'm not sure of the year
or title but must be 1988 or 89.

Re: request from C.S. Hunter for help with Soviet virus
named Yankee Doodle.
I picked up a programme called VIRSCAN in Moscow last June
from a computer friend. He said it was for testing to see
if a virus was residing in one's computer system. I have
not yet tried it out. Might it be of any use in locating
and eliminating (exorcising) Yankee Doodle? (For all I
know in this Kavkaesque world, my programme may contain
that or another virus - which is why I have been reluctant
to try it out.)

re: Bill Francis's WP5.0 footnote query--
My solution (in 5.0 and 5.1) has been to copy the text of the footnote
to the second document (using move or copy CTL-F4) and switch back
and forth from the "real" text in Doc 1 to the footnote text in
Doc 2. When you have it all straight, move the footnote text back
into its rightful place in the "real" document.
