What's new in Antiquarium 2

1. Antiquarium2 is designed for Windows2000, Windows XP or higher OS.
2. Supported fonts and user input are throughout Unicode. Main font for browsing Greek is Palatino Linotype which is supplied with Windows standard package. This beautiful font gave Antiquarium Text window a completely new look: bright, accurate and distinct.
3. Antiquarium2 works now successfully not only with TLG and PHI 5.3 but also with PHI 7 (inscriptions) database.
4. Search engine has been completely rewritten. You can use now Windows wildcards like "*", "?". All conditional operators (AND, OR, XOR) are implemented. We made accent on searching phrases and idioms. This feature is tremendously asked by classics scholars. Though implemented in many search engines, it often requires from users advanced knowledges of regular expressions syntax or similar 'computer' logics. We tried to organize phrase searches as flexible and intuitive as possible - and you don't need to study the entrails of computer at all. Take a brief look at the new Antiquarium2 search window:

5. The new option Save Workspace keeps windows state (and other interface options) intact during your working sessions. If you left your work in a hurry and then after some time will again open Antiquarium, you will see everything on desktop exactly as you left it recently.
6. Alternative (Latin and Greek) word spelling tables are implemented. Text editors often use contradictory approaches to spell words. You will still locate an entry even if it was differently spelled throughout the database.
7. When you copy and paste text fragments (say into Microsoft Word) all format subtleties are kept intact. Optionally you may copy exact bibliographical reference (title and chapter / section etc. numbers) with the selection.
8. Enhanced search algorythm of TLG Word List has been now implemented. In case you fail to find the exact entry, it is up to you to relax search criteria, then Antiquarium2 will use its built-in euristics.
9. All thematic rubrics of TLG Index can be processed now: Subjects, Dates, Epitets, Female authors, Geography. A user can create his/her own thematic groups of texts according to custom criteria. Inside rubrics any text can be easier accessed due to implemented tree-view mode. Take a look at the new TLG Indices window:

10. Printing procedures have been also enhanced for easier access and comfort of a user. You can print selections according to original (editor's) distribution of pages or print continously without any page breaks.
11. If you have electronic version of the Liddell and Scott Greek-English Dictionary (provided by Logos Bible Software), invoke it by a single keystroke. In Antiquarium, select with the mouse a Greek word you want to study / translate, then hit [F5]. Liddell-Scott will be immediately brought to foreground showing a corresponding dictionary article.

In a word, we tried to do everything to get the most (even more than in the previous version of Antiquarium) from the valuable Antiquity heritage.

We constantly enhance Antiquarium. Current Antiquarium version is 2.0 Build 266. Registered users are advised to get the newest Antiquarium build by request - just write an e-mail to Quadrivium Software and you will get the update free of charge.
