The new BNC Online Service allows anyone with access to the internet to:
* search for words, phrases, or patterns in the BNC via a simple web interface
* register for an account on the BNC server (free for twenty days unlimited
usage)
* download the SARA client software needed to talk to this server (also
free: available for Windows3.x or 95 only)
This new service is made possible by the generosity of the British
Library (who run the server); thanks are also due to its ingenious
developers (Scotty Logan and Tony Dodd).
The address of BNC Online is http://thetis.bl.uk/
