While development hasn't yet reached a state where it's of much use to a non- technical user, it'll eventually do everything that the previously mentioned program does and more. That being said, Etymo gets a thumbs-up from me as it contains a lot of features that none of the other extant sound-changers do. Sounds.exe and phono.exe are both hopelessly limited. It even does a few things that I hadn't thought of yet, which I might steal for Lingua::Phonology. -- JS Bangs jaspax@glossopoesis.org "We're counting on our virtues Because it's too hard to count the dead." -Jason Webley
