NEWS:

We now can accept MasterCard and Visa in our new "E-store". See Musaios: Ordering and Payment Information for information and a link to the E-store.
The E-store and other improvements to the website have caused our overhead to increase markedly, therefore we have raised our registration fees for the first time in many years.
TLG CD-ROM #E has been released with 1,823 authors from the beginning of Greek Literature to 1453 AD. [Note: All registered users of Musaios can now obtain a free upgrade to version 1.0e-32 for TLG #E from this website.] Go to the download page for more information.
03/16/2000 A Macintosh user has reported very satisfactory performance running Musaios on a Powerbook G3 with Connectix Virtual PC. See his comments on our new Macintosh news and notes page.
05/21/2000 Release 3 of Version 1.0e-32 has just been posted. This release corrects a bug searching all authors on TLG disc #E in one search.  It also increases the number of results a search can return.  Go to the download page for more information.

Almost all of Ancient Greek and Latin literature are available on CD-ROM -- Thesaurus Linguae Graecae's CD-ROM #E (ancient Greek texts) contains 1823 authors and collections from the 8th century BC to the 1453 AD. [Note: All registered users of Musaios can now obtain a free upgrade to version 1.0e-32 for TLG #E from this website.]  The Packard Humanities Institute's CD-ROM 5.3 contains Latin authors, and also seven versions of the Bible. Packard Humanities Institute also provides a third CD-ROM with collections of Greek Papyri and Inscriptions (CD-ROM "PHI 7").

None of these CD-ROMs comes equipped with software for viewing and searching; They simply contain the files in "ISO 9660" format, further encoded in a format known as "Beta Code". MUSAIOS provides a means to view the texts in a format similar to the printed page, and to perform searches.

MUSAIOS is currently available in a 16-bit version for Windows 3.1 and a 32-bit native version for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. (The 16 bit version will run on all three platforms, but more slowly than the 32-bit version). Development of the Macintosh version previously announced has been suspended because Microsoft has discontinued and stopped supporting the tool we were using to convert our Windows program to the MAC OS. Watch this space for future details.
