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 2002 A 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 32-bit native version for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. 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.
