The database of the Institut fuer deutsche Sprache in Mannheim
may be of some help in identifying the quotes from Mann and
Boell. They have most of Thomas Mann online and there are a
number of Boell works included in their sample databases of
postwar texts, e.g., Ansichten eines Clowns is in MK1, though
I don't know if it's complete. Other databases include Goethe
(Hamburger Ausgabe) and Marx/Engels (MEGA and other
recensions). Ability to use ISO-Latin1 and changing to a
German keyboard layout will be helpful in using COSMAS.
Here are instructions on Internet access, taken from an issue of
NEDER-L.
********************************************************************
* On-line access to the 30 million collection of German corpora *
* at the Institut fuer deutsche Sprache, Mannheim (IDS), Germany *

* session) of the COSMAS retrieval software in Mannheim: *
* *
* $telnet IDSserver.IDS-Mannheim.DE *
* login: cosmas-demo *
* Password: *
* *

* German version of the ISO-646 for keyboard and display coding. *
* Further details (on permanent access, contact persons, ...) are *
* given in the demo version. *

Gary Forsythe asked if anyone knew of an offline mail reader
which would let you download your mail, read it off your hard disk,
and then upload your responses. He wanted something that operated
just like unix mail. Well, I can't say that i have exactly what
he asked for, but I have something that is very close. The only
difference is that this program, YARN, operates like the unix
News readers (trn, rn) and not the mail program. There is a
newsgroup that focuses on these sorts of questions and answers,
however: alt.usenet.offline-reader
If you can't get to the newsgroup, let me know, and I'll look
up the ftp site information.
