Thanks for the clarification. I assume that includes the Unix source as well as flex and mdb are available and all that apparently would be needed is ptext. Ed...
Hi, Off hand, I have no idea of the specifics, not being a programmer. Anything which was written for the interface to the data comes under the software...
Lisa This is not, by the way, a critique; however, much that seems to have happened with OS X is that the augmented Wish (i.e. that has an embedded Perseus...
Hi, The Annenberg/CPB gave us limited funding in 1998 or so to port Perseus 2.0 to Windows, resulting in Platform Independent Perseus in 2000. The interface...
The XML function of the morphology tool in Perseus 4.0 on the Tufts site returns only errors regardless of what word you try it with. Why has the Berlin mirror...
Mac issues aside, the one inestimable virtue of PIP is that you don't need to be online to use it. (In addition, it is lightning fast on my new dual core...
Liddell and Scott sometimes--rather frequently, actually--misquote their sources. For example, in the entry for fqo/ros, they misquote Polybius; they give...
We will be offering user commentary options in the future, but we can't create a new edition per se under our agreement to use the ninth edition. I believe...
Can anyone open the Chicago mirror by any means? I have not been able to do so at any time during the past seven to ten days. Is it permanently offline? I've ...

Jack ... I'd certainly agree with this. The online materials are permanently unreliable, it seems. Things like browsers never browse properly and I have more...
Bob, They may not be misquotes; LSJ may simply be using a different text (i.e., a text whose editor made different decisions) than you are checking against....
Hi, No, there is no alternative to a local copy of Perseus materials aside from the CDs. That access is probably the only remaining selling point for the CD...
The other thing that really, really bothers me about the lack of an up-to-date CDROM version of Perseus is that I am too painfully aware of the possiblity that...
That does happen, but sometimes it's just plain out-and-out wrong. I think sometimes dear old L & S did things out of their very scholarly memories and got ...
Hi, Berlin links were temporarily removed because the site was producing serious errors, and we couldn't communicate with them on a repair schedule. We do not...

My training is in education and I must say I am impressed with the value of the Classical material which Perseus provides to the general education process....
What a pleasant relief to fire up the old browser this morning and find that Chicago is back! Joy, joy, life is good.... Which may seem like an extreme ...

You are right of course. I meant freely available. I have put many links on my web site to various sites. The links to the Perseus material are stable and...
Just since yesterday, the English translations of the Agamemnon on Perseus Chicago have become very shy. I can't get them to show their faces by any manner of...
As I have been making more and more use of the morphology tools in Perseus 4.0, I am noticing more and more cases where forms are not completely parsed. The ...
As of Monday, Chicago went away and hasn't come back since. The error message has changed (so please listen to the menu carefully, said the automated voice.)...
When I do a dictionary lookup using Firefox on the Berlin site I get back a page of html code. (Doesn't seem to matter what the word is. It started doing...

Here's a funky thing, probably a database thing, in Perseus 4.0 on Tufts: I open the Agamemnon to line 1382 and click on the first word, a)/peiron. I get the...
Right. My copy of Cunliffe's Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect cites I (Iota, Book 9), 469 in its entry for "keramos". Jim Johnson ... James F. (Jim) Johnson ...
In the Smyth text of Agamemnon at line 1474, there is some sort of fault that causes the last word of the line to display as <˘¯&γτ; instead of (I would...
