Plus translation, transliteration and synonym indexes. ~Perian On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 11:26 AM, Chuck Patch <chuck.patch at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi John, > > I'm sure there are a number of systems that do this, and I would check > with those operating out of that side of the planet, including K-Emu > and Vernon.
