HI Diamandis,
I attach the file that I received from A. Kornai. That time, I created a
unix account with NYU computer services, unzipped the file and used
basic grep/egrep searches to get the counts. The problem is that this
file does not have any 'readme' file, hence there is no explanation for
the coding scheme. A. Kornai told me that they used the same coding as
was used in a reversed-dictionary of Hungarian published sometimes in
the 70s  or 80. I was able to find it in Columbia library and it had
rather cryptic explanation of coding in English but I don't rememeber
the tile now. I rememeber something from the coding, and I probably
still have some notes somewhere but I am not sure where now. I can look
for them. In the meanwhile, I will forward to you the messages that
Andras sent me when I asked him for the database. Maybe, the database is
now fully described somewhere in English, I think it would make sense to
contact Andras or other two members of the team to ask about the current
status of it (in fact, I would be interested as well!)
I would be very interested in the grant ideas that you mention. Both the
option to come to Haskins for 1-2 weeks as a consultant on already
existing grant, and also a potential cooperation on new grants. My
teaching load is heavy but my boss likes any foreign research activity
so I think there would not be a problem for me to invest time here
and/or come to US for a short time.
Thanks,
Stefan
