    Hi

    I swear by WordSmith Tools and have never been known to swear at it. It is
    a very complete set of tools. If you want even cheaper try Mike Scott's
    Microconcord at an unbeatable price (gratis) for those who can still handle
    DOS. The site is : http://www.liv.ac.uk/~ms2928/

    A much simpler tool is Web concordancer
    http://www.rjcw.freeserve.co.uk/features.htm which I have found very
    reliable, or even more suited to teaching Aston Text Analyser
    http://www.les.aston.ac.uk/~roepj/guide/guide.htm

    Hope this helps

    Geoffrey
