Unfortunately, you didn't mention your hardware and operating system
specs.
So, in case you use a SPARCstation running SunOS 4.1.x or Solaris 2.x, or
you have a PC running Linux, I can recommend the IMS Corpus Workbench. It
is available for free for non-commercial purposes. Contact Oliver Christ,
University of Stuttgart, for further information; his email address is
oli@ims.uni-stuttgart.de
Best,
Max
