Yes, it was a B-Greek project. What happened is that the BIGHG pages
had to be taken off the site that was hosting it. I really don't know  
anything
about the "composite" posted for a while after that, but the "composite"
only comprised volume 1 of BIGHG, whereas most of the entire 3-volume
set had been accessible at the Naumann site.

I am confident that the files have not been lost and can ultimately be
housed at a suitable site, but there are some questions still to be  
resolved;
the copyright belongs to Bob Funk's estate, presumably to Westar
Institute. I hope that Perry Stepp can throw some light on the current
status of things. Our list-owner has also become newly involved in
the project (don't know if that rightly describes it). At any rate,  
that's
all the information that I have at this time.
