Tony (and others with thhe same problem),
Several people from the list have given me useful feedback, which means they
have been able to access it. My website can be slow (I'm looking for
another provider), so I've posted keep a current version at
http://www.chesapeake.net/~fletcher/kfNgramHelp.html as well.
Please don't hesitate to suggest additional features you might like.
Regards,
Bill
PS I've had problems accessing your site and sending you e-mail directly.
