But remember that the PHI disk has similar limitations to the OLD and
includes virtually nothing from after about AD 300: no Ausonius, Claudian,
Sidonius, Boethius, Macrobius, Martianus Capella ...  Does anyone know
whether there are plans to produce a more complete version? It's a great
resource as far as it goes, but life would be a lot easier for students of
Latin poetry is we could search Ausonius and co. too.
