Greetings, I wish to open with an apology to anyone who deems this an inappropriate posting to this net.group. I could not find a more appropriate group and my system manager recommended this one as a likely place to begin my search. I am a graduate student in computer science at the University of South Carolina. I have begun work on my master's thesis and am in need of a resource which we don't have here at USC: specifically, the works of Shakespeare in machine readable format. My topic is a method of text analysis related to factor or cluster analysis. A friend of mine began the research and I am attempting to verify the results of her thesis, or maybe disprove them, whichever conclusion the data supports. Currently the basis for the research is the complete works of Jane Austen, a grand total of six books. Not only is this an inadequate sample size (from a statistical point of view) but I don't want to read Jane Austen novels (as my advisor wants). Shakespeare would be much more palatable. If anyone has some or any of the works on-line or knows of a pointer to the works, I would be most appreciative. Many thanks, Harry Sharp [=============================================================================] Harry Sharp USMail : Dept of Computer Science, USC, Columbia, SC 29208 BITNET : T170126 @ UNIVSCVM ncr-sd!ncrcae-\ E-mail : >!usceast!sharp gatech!hubcap-/ [=============================================================================]

I believe the NeXT computer has the complete Shakespeare on line. I don't know if it's ftp-able, though. Copyright restrictions might apply. Luis.
