Hello all,
Thanks to Dan for cross-posting the announcement of the C11 database. All of us at MANCASS would be very interested to receive comments on the database from members of this group. Any very technical comments should be directed to the programmer, Dan Smith (daniel.p.smith@man.ac.uk), other comments to Don or myself.
Best, Kathryn

Hello all, I don't think this has been posted on dm-l yet:
The Manchester Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies is pleased to announce the availability of the MANCASS C11 Database, a tool for studying scripts and spellings in eleventh-century England. The database is now accessible at:
http://www.art.man.ac.uk/english/mancass/ data/index.htm
or visit http://www.man.ac.uk and search for ‘MANCASS’, then follow the link to the ‘C11 Database’. The database is the outcome of a three-year AHRB-funded research project headed by Professor Donald Scragg with Dr Alex Rumble. This freely accessible database allows users to search a body of material from eleventh-century manuscripts for particular spellings and spelling variants and to determine when and in what context they were used. It also contains searchable information about scribes and hands found in eleventh-century manuscripts. The version of the database currently available is a public beta version; please report any errors to the site's webmaster via a link provided on the site. In the coming months, we will continue to upload more eleventh-century material into the database and will also add more material to the website providing guidance on its contents and use. In the meantime, if you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact either Don Scragg (don.scragg@man.ac.uk) or myself (kathryn.e.powell@man.ac.uk). We hope you will find the database a useful resource.
On behalf of the project team,
