Paul, thanks for this very useful information. Using L and S on Perseus is an exercise in patience that only a monk could continue to approach with equanimity.

This may be old news for the well-informed, but I just discovered that the freeware program Diogenes now includes an electronic version of Lewis & Short's Latin Dictionary. It is the same version as on the Perseus site, but can be used off-line and is blazingly fast. Diogenes can also be used to search the TLG Greek and PHI Latin texts if you have them.

What other new tools are out there we should all know about? -- Paul Chandler
