Byzantine Studies Related
Software
This is still pretty sparse, and I expect it will remain so. The
intent is to collect public domain software and shareware - fonts, Greek editors,
astronomy and mapping programs - useful for Byzantine studies. If you have suggestions,
please email me at .

Software/Shareware
The software available here consists of shareware and demo programs.
These are copyrighted, and after a period of experimentation you should register the
programs. If you do not keep them, then there is no need to register.
The programs here are all DOS or MS Windows programs. To download them all you need to
do is activate the links shown. If you download to a mainframe account, you will need, at
some stage to download them again to your PC. Make sure that you use "binary"
settings in your upload/download software - or the programs will not work.
"Zipped" Files
Many are "zipped" files. This means that a number of
separate files have been "zipped" together and compressed. This makes it much
faster to download them. Such files end with the three letter extension
".zip".To use the programs you need to
1. download the zipped files to some PC, 2. "unzip" the zipped files. 3.
follow the instructions contained in the "readme" file which is part of each zip
file. Sometimes this means running a set-up program.
The most common zipping program available is called "PKZIP". If you do not
have this program, I have made available "PKUNZIP.EXE" here. Running this
program with the line
PKUNZIP nameofzippedfile.zip
will unzip all the files here. This is the first program that you should download. I have
also made available here the full set of PKZIP files.
[Another couple of programs are self-extracting zipped files. These end with the
extension ".exe". You do not need to use PKUNZIP on these. If you just type the
name of the file, the program will extract itself.]
Programs Available
Utilities
- PKUNZIP - the basic utility needed to unzip other files [executable DOS file].
- PKZIP - the complete
"Pkzip" package [self-extracting zipped DOS file].
Calendar Programs
- Calendar Program A
truly excellent DOS program that instantly gives you access to dates in the past in a
number of Calendar systems [Julian, Gregorian, Jewish, Muslim, Byzantine, Spanish ERA,
Icelandic, French Revolutionary, and so on].
Astronomy Programs
- Skyglobe - an
astronomy program which will show you the positions of the starst in the sky at any time
in the past, from any place on earth, looking in any direction! See How the sky looked
looking from the west from Walls of Constantinople just before dawn on the morning of
Tuesday 26th May 1453!
Language Programs
- WinGreek - this will
let you type in Greek in Windows 3.1 in any application. It will only work in Windows95 if
you are running a Windows 3.1 application. In other words it runs in 16bit but not 32 bit
applications only. An Upgrade is on the way.
