Handheldclassics!!! A reality?
Hi, everybody.
Stumbled on this site: www.handheldclassics.com and it’s absolutely amazing. Basically you can have the whole of Iliad and Odyssey on your palm PC along with the English translation. Fully parsed morphology of every word from Perseus plus basic translation of every word plus links to a greek dictionary.
Does this mean "good by Cunliff and the company" or am I wrong? Is the whole idea worth it?
Is anybody using this thing?
Thanks

Handheldclassics
I am glad someone has found the site and content within.
It does take a bit of work to set-up your system (Palm and software) to get everything working together.
Keep in mind that setting up a PC for Greek is also not easy, but well worth it in the end.
So far I have the Iliad and Odyssey in parsed interlinear form and English translations with sequenced line numbers as well.
I am working on a parsed interlinear version of Theogony at this time.
You will have to use a biblical lexicon like Strongs at the moment but you can create you own lex in short order.
I have LSJ converted but have yet to ask OUP for permission to release it to the public (free of course).
I would also like to ask for help in providing content for this platform and the people on this forum seem to be a very resourceful group to ask.

Hi John,
I just installed all the software on my Palm, plus the ZIliadCP.pdb and ZOdysseyCP.pdb. But now I am a bit lost: I can startup Bible+ and see notes (Greek font, so that works), but I do not see the original Greek text, only the notes. And what do I do with RoadLingua? Are there specific dictionaries I still need to install?
Do you perhaps have instructions how to operate this?
Thanks!
