[B-Greek] Loeb classical library

Loeb is on the list of items that Logos would like to do -- if they can get the rights.  This would provide glosses and parsing at the click of a mouse (or even on hover).

  Randall Bush's note on the tribute to the Loeb classical library on the
Telegraph web site is to be appreciated, but it's unfortunate that Loeb,
which is now owned by Harvard University, is woefully behind the times.

I've never understood who can use the Loeb library, since many on b-greek
and other classicists don't need it--and others, like myself, can't use it.
For the neophyte or middling reader, it's a hassle to find the translations
of needed words in the bilingual format, since these are lost in the jumble
of other words.

Harvard should be willing to spend the money to bring Loeb into the 21st
Century on a data base, allowing anyone to immediately access any gloss.
However, the last time I inquired there were no plans to do this--and none
at Perseus, either.
