historical interest, etc. Perspic build a fully indexed and
compressed version of the original text files. Word search
results are summarized by line. Selecting a given line opens
the full text about the given word. Other features include
dictionary definition of words, scanning of word derivatives,
and saving selected quotations with their accompanying
attribution.

The examples provided here include selections from the world's
