[this doesn't really belong on this list, but this is a mighty stale
pointer.  I am hoping that this will jog the memory of someone else on the
list with more recent information.]

Sometime around about 1975 (in high school) I went to a seminar at the Nat.
Junior Classical League convention where someone from Dartmouth talked
about feeding the Aeneid to a computer program, doing the meter, counting
"et"s, etc.  I was under the impression that they had other classics on
line or on tape.

By the way, how should I type in ancient Greek on my U.S.A. keyboard?  I
can use ` and ' and ~ for accents, but what about the breath marks?
