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.
