Message 1: QS: Kofi Annan

Subject: QS: Kofi Annan

There are many ways in the news, the Name Kofi Annan is pronounced. My
idea would be that the correct pronounciation is with "italian"
vowels. Can anybody tell me the correct pronounciation of the
name?
Thanks Ralf Grosserhode

Subject: IR Systems and Software

I would like to purchase, download, or view any and all IR systems
that are available either on the web or for my own use. Could someone
help me get started in finding all those that are available. Is there
a clearing house somewhere?

Subject: Dictionary Development

Dear Sir/Mrs,

 In the present time, I have to complete a research entitle "
Searching Services in the WWW" and construct a simulation of the web
dictionary for my degree's final year project. So I would like to get
some information from you about the dictionary development process
which can assist me in my project. I need some info about : where and
how the data of the dictionary were stored or indexing, their
searching techniques and so on...

 I really hope you will give me some information about it ... Thanks a 
lot for your concerns.

 Your Sincerely,

 Zafiza
