Tim,
Muchas orchidas !
Surely those esteemed fellows at Egton would wish to support such a useful
idea ? An HTML trainer would be very useful all round but is a mammoth
task. Why not approach them to see if they would stand the development
costs (or at least some of them). The Emis manual (such as it is) is
begging to be OCR'd and hacked into HTML format, a scanner (say Umax Vista
S6E about 300) and Cuneiform OCR (pretty much universally acclaimed as the
best) should pick up 95% + off good quality (non-medical, though you can
build onto your dictionary as you go) text. Alternatively secretarial time
into Word for Windows then Word Assistant (free off the Microsoft site)
would avoid some of the leg work (though you still need to get into the
source code to tidy up). HTML authoring costs about 40-60 per hour
commercially so no need to be shy with the estimate :-)
