The BTL -- now "BTL2", since the second version finally appeared this summer -- is available to anyone, from Saur, on cd-rom, as Rainer mentions (whereas the TLG is now in www-version online, since last year). We're putting the CD on our own network here (more expensive, and only by special arrangement with the publisher), so that all faculty and students will have access from anywhere. BTL2 *does* include Ausonius, Claudian, Macrobius, Martianus Capella ... (but not Sidonius or Boethius). BTL3 will of course contain more (not only more (later & Christian) authors, also new BT editions -- and there is a newish BT Boethius). But -- as is by now perhaps commonly known -- you don't get the apparatus or praefationes in the package. See . I suspect there won't ever be a further PHI disk, given all the developments which have taken place since that project began. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Laval Hunsucker hunsucker@uba.uva.nl ------------------------------ #################### .
