User-database: Virgil's Works (Latin)
As promised earlier in the week, Virgil's Works in Latin are up and ready to go. It only seemed fair since I put the Iliad and the Odyssey out there that their Latin complement should also have a place. Of course if you feel this is too far afield, don't worry about it, I won't be offended.
Update: For some reason blogger did not accept my upload, but the link should now be working. Sorry for the confusion!

Michael (and James) - I think this is a fantastic service you're providing here, and I hope you keep it up!
I for one have both a keen interest in Biblical Languages as well as Classical Language resources. It is actually the reason I decided to purchase BibleWorks recently.
Years ago I helped develop a Greek & Hebrew research tool for Wycliffe (SIL) called BART for Biblical Analysis Reasearch Tool as well as early versions of Translator's Workplace if you've heard of those. BART never quite reached its potential and in the meantime, BW with it's super open architecture for adding content has developed.
For years I've wanted to increase my understanding of Classic Greek and Latin, and the resources you guys are providing are just fantastic.
I'm hoping at some point to begin contributing myself once I get some more familiarity both with the tool (BW) and the file formats it uses. I'm a pretty decent programmer and figure that I could develop some tools to do some transforms of Perseus content as well as devise ways of associating morphological tagging of several texts that otherwise wouldn't have it by some simple pattern matching.
In any case - just wanted to affirm the work you guys are doing both in the traditional Biblical texts and the Classical texts as well.
BTW - the link above and on the User Created DB page appears to be broken!
This should be fixed now. Sorry about that.
