In response to Messr. Lana's questino re. statistical studies
of Greek:
Some work has been done on information theoretic characterization
of Greek; I dealt with Koine' fairly extensively in my dissertation,
including most of the statistics requested; it is available from
UMI per usual methods (Brown Univ. 1989, "Stochaastic Methods for
Resolution of Grammatical Category Ambiguity in Inflected and
Uninflected Languages"). I can't say how well the figures would
transfer to classical Greek, however.

Concerning Joel Elliott's request about converting files. IF Megawriter
can convert its own files to DCA/RFT format, you will then be able to
read that form with MS Word or WordPerfect, I believe. Converting to
DCA/RFT also makes it possible to move between Mac and Ms_Dos
environments, provided your Mac can format/read an MS-Dos diskette (the
drives on late-model SEs and the new Macs can do this).
