==================================================================

This file accompanies the corrected version of the current Bielefeld
lexicon database Version 2, bielefeld.lexdb.v2.1.

The README for bielefeld.lexdb.v2.0, which provides full documentation,
must be consulted for further information on the structure and
attributes.

The following modification types have been made:
1. Header: The header now provides textual version information.
2. Attributes: All attributes have now been joined.
3. Content: Minor corrections to values of specific attributes
   were necessary; information on remaining inconsistencies
   is welcome.
4. A number of additional UNIX tool facilities are provided.

Example of access with a UNIX regular expression

A UNIX toolset cannot replace a standard databse system. However,
the examples included here are intended to suggest techniques
for usefully accessing the available data. Users are invited
to develop their own variants; feedback would be very welcome.

This simple example illustrates a powerful technique for accessing a
set of related entries by UNIX regex patterns. In this case,
the tailstring "rache" is matched, yielding, as it happens,
the two entries "Absprache" and "Terminabsprache". The procedure
dbviewrall automatically accesses all attributes for these
entries.

Input:
dbviewrall bielefeld.lexdb.v2.1 ".rache$"
