So I could ask for NA >+ GO`A and get directed to passages discussing both of these.] The printed book has a 60 page index including all the selma'o and then much more. The best solution I can imagine for the on line version right now (barring downloading the thing and doing a grep search ) is to use the selma'o catalog in Chap 20, and then look in the chapters referenced therein. Note that the online book is not the final version. We found mult itudinous typos and a small number of real errors after Cowan and I stopped bein g able to document each change to the list as we went along (formattin g related typos such as inconsistent punctuation of ex xamples alone amounts to over 1 change per page). We do not know when we can put a final text up on the Web site, or even IF we can do so in HTML. The baseline format will bw switching to eith er Microsoft Word internal format or to Postscript with publication, and we are not sure whether it is feasible to regenerate html tags in the resulting text. We are considering putting the book up in PDF format readable with Acrobat. I believe that Acrobat allows for text searches. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@access.digex.net Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: ftp.access.digex.net /pub/access/lojbab or see Lojban WWW Server: href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/" Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
