Sad news indeed
In the meantime I have put up some replacement tools at
http://www.biblegreek.net/tools/index.php
I would be grateful if List members could test drive this, I've done a
rough test drive, but in my haste to get it up I'm sure to have made a few
mistakes, especially in the accented characters. Please email me separately
with bugs, suggestions, fixes etc.
