- Research in the field of Greek Classics was revolutionizeda decade or so ago when the entire classical Greek corpus became availableon CD-Rom. Suddenly projects that would have consumed weeks or months oftedious work could be accomplished in minutes or hours. Speed was no guaranteeof quality, of course, but there seems little doubt that the ability toconduct computerized searches of important texts was a great boon to thefield.
Chinese studies is poised on the verge of a similar revolution. A fewclassical-era philosophical texts have been available for one or two years,but progress in putting more texts on-line has been slow.
