About 100 include both. If you should want to ask similar questions and get impressively quick responses (at least until the web site gets overloaded) a new "service" that became available today might be of interest. [As a parting shot, I would point out that there are 700 pages referencing persons named "John Hill"....] Happy Holidays, Jim ============================================ [PS. I expect to get a WG15 Webforum set up 1st quarter!] ============================================ A new web indexing tool is available on the web, "Altavista" from Digital Equipment. This tool builds a "complete" index of all public web pages so that you can search for all occurrences of words, phrases or combinations of these. For example, there are about 20000 references on the web to "Bill Clinton", 1.2 million to "president" and 10,000 to pages with both. This response, along with the first 20 or so on the list (in a prioritized order) are delivered in real time. In this case, additional qualifiers for the query would be used to focus down the number of responses. To give this service a try, goto URL: http://www.altavista.digital.com (you can separately select searching of 8 billion words in 16 million web pages; or amongst the 13,000 Internet news groups.) ================================================================ For hypertext newsgroup or "notes" type collaboration, see Digital's "Workgroup Web Forum(tm)" demo web-site -- at: http://webforum.research.digital.com/ you can now download a demo copy to put on supported servers. (info on purchasing it is also available) ================================================================ For a real world public application, look up the NH primary election interactions on http://www.fosters.com/ the on-line pages for Foster's Daily Democrat of Dover. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Happy Surfing, Jim Isaak
