    Dear Przemek,

    you might like to give Xlex/www a try, which is freely available for
    non-commercial purposes. Xlex/www is a web-based interface to a suite of
    Unix/Linux command line tools (tokenizer, index, POS tagger, concordancer,
    statistical analysis, etc.). For password-restricted access, the web
    server can be used (e.g. the .htaccess mechanism in the Apache server).

    Installation should be particularly straightforward on a PC with any
    current Linux distribution. Of course, access is possible from any WWW
    client in the network. For more information, have a look at
    <http://xlex.uni-muenster.de>. If you'd like to get the distribution,
    just drop me a line.

    Best, Hendrik.
