Hellespont

Hellespont is a Macintosh OS X programme that reads the Beta Code files on the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae CD-ROM, allowing the Greek text to be displayed and searched. 

Hellespont is not a port of legacy code. It is written entirely in Objective-C, expressly for the OS X 10.4 operating system, and uses only the Foundation and Application Kit frameworks.

Version 2.0 of Hellespont is now available, and costs 66 Canadian dollars. It has single-file search capability, a passage-locator  panel, and allows the size of the Greek font to be changed. In addition, significant portions of the underlying code have been re-written. An image of the Hellespont screen can be seen by clicking here. 

Version 1.2 of Hellespont is no longer available. Purchasers of version 1.2 are entitled to a $50.00 discount on the price of version 2.0.

A demo version of Hellespont 2.0, packaged as a ZIP file, can be downloaded by clicking here. The demo version will allow you to read only the works of Acropolites. All other features in the demo version work normally.
