Set Texts on the web and on CD

to find information on CDs and cassettes which have set texts
reproduced to a professional quality. You can also download
"Read it right" ,
a guide to correct Latin pronunciation. This has recently been
slimmed down for quicker downloading from 15+MB to less than 1MB.
It's now a Flash program small enough to run straight from the
net though there is also a download option.

Recordings for the newest syllabuses are on audio CD from
Wilf O'Neill.
Easier search for resources
Wilf O'Neill brings news of resources updates:
"A new searchable database for the ARLT and CA loan
collections is now available. You can view the contents of
the individual collections as before and also search for
material across all three.
"Also new is an Online Resources page to which I will
add items as time goes on. As a start it has a searchable
database of journal literature and a link to my Latin
pronunciation program, Read It Right!
"Access from the ClassicsNet portal at
resources-for-classics.co.uk.
"I have an Access database of questions from the OCR(JACT)
papers from 1976 onwards. Topics covered are Epic, Greek
Tragedy and Comedy and some Art & Architecture and Roman Britain.
As the papers are not in the public domain I cannot put this
on the website but would be happy to e-mail it (430KB) to anyone
who has legitimate access to these papers and might find it useful.

Rouse's Chanties
