Apologies if someone has already forwarded this message to the list
(I take the digest), but this is, I think, an exciting development
and one that ought to be shared as soon as possible.

> Likewise, the URL for the Allen and Greenough paragraph 300 is:

> You can consult tables of contents for each work at:

> NOTE: These grammars are still very much *works in progress* and can stand
> a good deal more refinement. The basic text entry is fairly solid (although
> some typos remain) but areas that could use additional work include:
>
> 1) Distinguishing the Latin in A&G: The Latin phrases are not marked by
> any consistent text formatting and we have not always been able to mark
> what is and is not Latin. Likewise, we have tried to highlight as many
> "glosses" as we could, but some have escaped us.
>
> 2) Converting all the text citations into active links to Perseus Texts:
> We have tried to create links to texts on-line, but some of these citations
> may have been missed; other links may still be problematic.
>
> 3) We do not yet have characters to represent adequately all the metrical
> signs used. Likwise, we cannot display over the WWW yet all numerical signs
> or other special characters.
>
> 4) You cannot yet call up a separate paragraph (e.g. AG 405) or subsection
> (e.g. AG 405b). Instead, you get whatever "section" that paragraph appears in.
>
> 5) The tables used to represent paradigms need refinement.
