Dear Ben N., list,
Let's also thank Gary Fuhrman for being more optimistic than I was about
whether past CD-ROM customers could still obtain online subscriptions to
InteLex even today. I subsequently contacted InteLex and the person
there confirmed that that is still the policy.
Quote: "If it comes up again, anyone who already owns the CDs can still
get the web access. We plan on keeping that option available as long as
we can, because we feel that scholars who paid for the material should
be able to continue to use it, and that's the best option we have right
now."
There is another disadvantage with the online version, in addition to
the weakened search capacity that you mention. The online version's
Collected Papers' CLICKABLE tables of contents (in the left sidebar)
LACK the paragraph numbers. The other tables of contents, the ones that
are part of the original text and do contain paragraph numbers, are not
clickable. This makes it rather more cumbersome to track down a passage
when all that one has is the volume number and paragraph number. At the
InteLex version, one needs to go to a volume's original table of
contents (in the given volume's Frontmatter page), find out the section
with the requisite paragraph number,. then dig the section out from the
sidebar TOC. I've been meaning to bring that up with them. I don't think
it would be too big a task to add the paragraph numbers to the sidebar
TOC's. I'd be surprised if nobody has mentioned it to them in the past.
Best, Ben U.

Dear Ben U., List:
Many thanks to Ben Udell for his help regarding my Intelex CDs of
Peirce and Anselm.
I went to Craigslist where I found a laptop with a Vista operating
system, called the seller, and drove 50 miles to test it out. It
worked like a charm. For $70, and a hundred miles worth of gasoline, I
have my Intelex investment back.
By way of explanation, when my CDs became inoperable I called Intelex
and they were very gracious in giving me access to the internet
version. But the internet version does not have several search
features of the CDs--which were essential to my use of it.
Ben U's explanation allowed me to get the use of my CD's back, for
which I am */pro-found-ly/* grateful.
I have a lot of thoughts relative to recent emails on this thread, but
will have a lot of work and travel over the next month that limit my
opportunities to set them out for you.
Hopefully you will all be going strong on this subject for a while
longer. In my view, a heck of a lot of progress has been made, and I
especially thank Jon for starting it off.
Many thanks again to Ben U. and to all the participants in this
discussion.
Ben N.
