I've received a message from a John Wilson who attended a workshop I gave
(at a conference in Thailand, Nov. '95) on exploiting concordances in the
EFL classroom.
He writes:
"I would like to experiment with concordancing in my own teaching.
Since I have to pay for all my materials, I was wondering if you know of
anywhere where I can download a free concordancer on the net. I have
tried
searches on Yahoo to no avail."
If anyone is able to help, could you reply here or contact John directly

Yes, I know one. You could get it for free (only for research
purposes, of course). It is the IMS Corpus Workbench (developed by
O. Christ and me at the University of Stuttgart), which runs under
SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x and Linux. Contact Oliver Christ,
oli@ims.uni-stuttgart.de, for further information.
Best,
Max
