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

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.
