The CD-ROM that will accompany the CCER book "Coffin Text Word Index" (by
Dirk van der Plas and J.F. Borghouts; $134; see: URL) is not ready yet (publication
expected Spring 2000); it will be sent for free to everybody who has already
bought the book (which is available now). The CD-ROM will contain:
- the
electronic database (which was the basis for the book); this allows for fast
search (simple and combined)
- the complete Gardiner-De Buck edition (all
pages, prefaces etc.) as published in the past.
Thanks to Alexander Biesbroek for this information.
