Hello, I am a new member. I live in San Diego and use Perseus to do research for a personal project I am working on. I was wondering how one might obtain...
Hi, Kristin, I'll respond to the encyclopedia question first, since it is a fairly common one I've addressed over the years. The short answer is that the...
Thanks for your reply! I look forward to the user-based group editing and would love to participate when it comes out. ... fairly common one I've ... see are...
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help? I try to search for words in the DDBDP, but I can't figure out how to. If I search for a word such as "a)naple/w" in "Any...
This is cumbersome, but it does work: Open the Duke Papyrus page at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cache/perscoll_DDBDP.html. Click on any of the "Search this...
It appears the duke databank isn't working right now? Oh and thank you for spelling out the acronym, I had no idea what was being talked about :) I also didn't...
I use the system a lot to compare how different writers use specific words. For a few days now, when I click on a Greek word in a classical text and open the...
Hi, I rely on Perseus, but soon I won't have access to the Internet when I'm doing my research. I will have a computer, though, with a CD-Rom drive. Being a...
Hi Luke, I knew of somewhere where you could get one very cheaply (I got one for myself), but unfortunately they have sold out, that is it is no longer on ...
Hi Theresa and Lisa, Thank you for your replies. Unfortunately, the CDs sold for $99 at Amazon are only for the Mac. Also, $99 is still more than I can afford,...
Hi Luke, and others, There are no plans for any further CD releases at this time. If you have any more questions about the CDs or the site, feel free to...
I get readable fonts in most of Perseus 4.0, but not in responses from the morphology tool. If I am looking at a document in Greek, I see all the accents and...
Well, 2.0 only runs in Classic (was 1.0 the Hypercard version?). The problem is that the modified Wish 8.0.4 - ie. the Tcl application - is a Classic...
Hi, There's a little confusion here on versions of the CDs. Perseus 2.0 on CD was released in two editions: Perseus 2.0 (Mac only), 1996, and Platform...
Hi, all, We're aware of the problem. It was noted earlier this week, and has been repaired on the test site: http://test.perseus.tufts.edu If you're...
The test site does resolve the nasty-little-square-boxes issue for me. I would comment that the font used on the 4.0 release site for general display of Greek...
The decision the Perseus folks have made to provide the product only online concerns me. Right now, the system runs fully at Tufts. The old Oxford mirror is...
Hi, The permanency of the materials which form the Perseus DL is something we have addressed here: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/about Tufts University...
Allow me to comment. An online only presence is quite good especially if there are more servers to carry the load. I have never been able to accomodiate the...

Hi, I find the best way of getting public domain Greek into another working environment is to view the XML and then convert the beta code into the font of my...

Well, I guess you could rely on everybody doing it the hard way, but it doesn't seem like it would take that much to set up the system to provide a standard...
