Hi, all,
I just barely digested all the ackaton mails. I think it's a brilliant idea.
I've been using ack for a few months now, and it's a worthy piece of code to
spend time improving.
This also hits a particular itch of mine, namely concordance generation from a
corpus of text. In natural
Just got back to having an Internet connection, so I'm a bit deluged with all
