I am pleased to be able to announce the latest version of the Duke
Language Toolkit (v. 2.10). The Language Toolkit is a series of
programs that allows one to display foreign alphabets / fonts on the
screen of a suitably equipped IBM PC or clone, and print the text on
a number of popular printers. This software is the fruit of the
humanities computing project at Duke (COLOE).
New features added to version 2.10 include a generic font editor,
support for printers (including the Toshiba P351, IBM Proprinter, and
Epson FX-80/85), and a new version of Loadfont which supports fonts of
256 and 512 characters on screen display of 25 or 43 lines - the
Loadfont program allows application program control, command line
arguments (for batch files), and an interactive "popped-up" menu
available from within most commercial programs.
To use the Duke Language Toolkit one must have each of the following
three classes of items: an IBM PC/XT/AT or TRUE clone (i.e. at the
BIOS level); the product IBM markets under the name "Enhanced Graphics
Adapter" or the "EGA Plus" from STB (the Vega and Quadram EGA clones are
reported also to work, but they have not been tested at Duke); and
a monochrome or Enhanced Color Display (sorry but neither composite
video monitors nor the standard Color Graphics Display work with the
Language Toolkit).
As with previous versions of the Language Toolkit, Duke is willing to
provide this software free of charge to interested scholars and
institutions. To obtain a copy please send two diskettes with stamped
return mailers to me at the following address:
