UNICORN does exist!

No, I'm not talking about the mythological, single-horned horse.  I still want one of those, but…
I'm talking about a text editor and dictionary program.  It isn't your ordinary text editor, dictionary, spell checker.  It is for the student of ancient languages: Latin, classical Greek, Hebrew.

Unicorn is free.  Information on requirements can be found here.

While you are there, check out:
The Latin and Greek Study Groups    They are open, volunteer-run email lists dedicated to the study of (major shock, NOT) Latin and Greek.

I just joined the Vesuvius group.  It will get going in January.  The most important textbook will be Wheelock's Latin 7th Edition (The Wheelock's Latin Series)  They will spend two weeks on each chapter.

Group: Wheelock Beginners (Vesuvius)
Coordinator: Pete Caloger <pcaloger at ptd dot net>
First Assignment will be due January 6
If you want to join in, drop Pete an e-mail with "Vesuvius" as the subject.  He will give you the rest of the gory details…

The other text book is not in Kindle format, but I'm sure there is a way to work around that.
