Beocat

["John [Francis] Stracke" <francis@insoft.com>]

When Henry posted Beocat, I forwarded it to my dad (who does medieval
lit).  Yesterday, he saw it on the Anglo-Saxon list
(ansax-l@wvnvm.wvnet.edu), posted by "L.Hunter Cassells"
<mellyrn@enh.nist.gov>, asking if anybody knew where it came from;
today, he got this reply:

(OK, so maybe mellyrn has already posted this--I wouldn't have seen
yet, I don't subscribe here at work.  I just didn't want to assume he
was on atlantia-l; funny stuff travels fast on the Net.  :-)
