Dear Martin,
Thank you very much for your help. With your modification it is now
working properly! *bigsmile*
I just want to let you know that the SnowBall source for the german
stemmer on the web-page
"http://snowball.sourceforge.net/german/stemmer.html"
is exactly as mine was. So there is the same mistake in the stemmer
sorce download! I hope it was not too annoying answering my mails... *g*
Thanks again for your help!
Just the best,
marcus
