This is an update to the recent announcement of the Hopperizer, a Greek text to LSJ lexicon linker and betacode/unicode converter.
Tom at KataBiblon.com has now given online users of the Hopperizer the
option of using either Perseus' LSJ lexicon OR Diogenes' LSJ lexicon.
In order to use Diogenes, one must have Diogenes installed on their
local computer and started (minimized). Diogenes is normally run from a
machine's localhost account on port 8888. But, sometimes, if that port
was already taken, Diogenes/localhost will run on port 8889.
The
LSJ lexicon for Diogenes uses Perseus' source code. Perseus has more
links to other texts, but even with its updated servers, experiences
overload when all those new Greekophiles out there start doing their
homework. So if you cannot access Perseus quickly, it's best to use
Diogenes rather than sit and wait for a response.
Many thanks to
Peter Heslin who has given us the querystrings to retrieve this
information from Diogenes, and for his many years spent getting
Diogenes as a tested, freely available and robust application. Diogenes
can be downloaded from http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Diogenes/download.php.
The Hopperizer may still have a few bugs in regards to Diogenes. If you discover any issues or bugs, drop Tom a note at mailto://tom@katabiblon.com and let him know what your issue is.
