Dear Bryan,
You're welcome. I put more time into making it than I actually spend using
it, but I think that's partly due to how well it works for the things I do
with it.
And yes there is a more recent reader on sourceforge; we're at 5.09, which
is well advanced from the 4th gen. reader... I finally made the step
required to show the linkable search results, and there are many other
upgrades as well, please do download the 5.09 version.
Unfortunately, parsing compounds has probably not improved that much. If
you send me the words incorrectly recognized, I can try to debug it...
sometimes it is just a matter of adding a rule to the parser. (if you know
javascript, you could help :) )
Sincerely,
Yuttadhammo
