Hello, I am not entirely sure that this posting should live in comp.text, but it certainly does have everything to do with both comp and text. I apologize if it is in the wrong place. I am wondering if any body out there knows where to get a directory of machine readable texts. I am mainly interested in Classical texts, but all literature is potentially useful. I have a few texts from the American Philological Association, division of machine readable texts, but I don't know how to get in touch with them, and I am told that their texts are not very good. I am also interested in various text browsers and context searchers, but those are peripheral until I get a good sense of what there is out there to search. (A friend of mine has put out a plea for the Poetic Edda, a northen European epic, I think. Also Joyce and Euripides would be *very* useful :-) .) If any one else is interested in this, I can mail the responses I get to you, or post them up again in one posting. Thank you in advance, Jacob Sisk jjake@reed.BITNET Box 798 Reed College, Portland OR 97202
