Maybe so. It looks very interesting. I am too busy sorting,
trying to shelve, logging (etc.) books to spend a lot of time on
any of them now. I have (or had?) a little piece of paper where I
jotted down the names that needed diacritical marks. That worked
well for my first file, but apparently I didn't bring the one for
the second file back. I sure HOPE it is still on the table.
