Fred,

Your comments have been very useful, and I've made changes to the French
stemmer page accordingly. What I will do soon is add your name, and the name
of other email helpers, to the 'credits' section of the Snowball site.

The difficulty of course is trying to keep the algorithm descriptions down
to a manageable size. All the rules in an algorithm might be given an
explanation along these lines. But I am aware that there is a gap here.
