Hi Aldo,
I did not follow this thread, but just now "BetaCode" caught my attention. Are
you talking about the BetaCode that was used in the Packard Humanities
Institute Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum
corpora?
Back in year 2000 I wrote a BetaCode analyzer for TLG and CIL as part of my
Master's Thesis. Maybe I can help you a little. Even though I programmed
everything in Perl, I didn't code a module those days. But it DOES make sense
to have this functionality in a module!
