Babble 1.1.1 (a synoptic Unicode browser) is now available for download at
http://www.iath.virginia.edu/babble/download.html
be sure to check the documentation at
http://www.iath.virginia.edu/babble/babblehelp.html
Some new features have been added:
1. Babble can now deal with SGML-tagged Unicode files delivered via the Web
(fixing a problem with version 1.1 in which it couldn't find and load
style sheets correctly). As part of this change, stylesheets are
now specified in the SGML Doctype declaration (see the documentation).
2. Babble can now flip texts vertically (columns) to horizontally (rows) and
back again.
3. Installation and setup instructions are broken down by platform, and more
detailed instructions are included on how to set up Babble as a helper
application, and on how to set up a web server to serve unicode files to
Babble.
4. Two installation versions are available, one for Windows95/NT with a setup
wizard, and one for manual installations on other platforms (Unix). The
manual installation version includes a shell script that can be used to
run Babble as a helper application.
5. A new utility, uni2ascii.java is included, for converting Roman-character
files from unicode to ascii.
6. Help documentation now includes new features by release version and a list
of known bugs and FAQs.
Enjoy, and be sure to send bug reports or questions to:

Problems with TACTweb and sgml2tdb European Site
A few days ago I announced new versions of TACTweb and sgml2tdb, and
said that they were available from ftp://ilex.cc.kcl.ac.uk. On the
very day of my announcement the ilex machine became unreliable, and
yesterday it died entirely! Although service staff have been working
on it, it is still not repaired.
My apologies for the inconvenience. Both pieces of software are
still available from http://tactweb.humanities.mcmaster.ca in Canada.
