Subject: Looking for mystery texts

I am looking for texts by Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Agatha
Christie. Please let me know if you have any pointers to on-line copies.

Subject: Latin morphological analyzer for MS-DOS?

I am currently in need of a Latin morphological analyzer for MS-DOS.
I would like such software to take a list of words (these happen to
be from Ovid's Metamorphoses) and reduce the inflected forms to the
proper lemmas. Any leads will be greatly appreciated. I'll post the
results of this query back to Humanist, and I'll report my experiences
with any software that turns up.

Thanks very much.

Subject: Query: Genealogical software

Does anyone know of any program (preferably shareware) for compiling and
printing out family trees? I know there is some fairly fancy stuff
available for people who are tracing their genealogies, but I want it
for something a little bit simpler: helping my students keep all the
characters straight in Icelandic sagas.
