yes, and for the Aesthetically Aware it is a pleasure.

easily solved (viday infra) --i just downloaded each volume in a single file
and burned them all on a single CD, changing the title of each file to reflect
the contents therein.
the main advantage of the Stanford ed., however, is what prompted me to ask
George F. where he found a readable(/copyable) edition on-line, allowing him
to send an extended bit of text to the list.
the Stanford .pdfs have that capability --and i wonder how the hell they did
it, since the text i see is clearly a (digital) photograph of the original
page --in all it's typographical complexity-- and yet i can mark and copy it
and it comes out as correct ASCII (except for the Greek):

given the current state of OCR softwhere, the only way i can see that they did
that was to do the same thing that was done with the PL --send the thing to
India and have it keystroked in by multiple hapless drudges, using special
softwhere to find the variants in the text in order to find and correct the
inevitable typos.
