Thanks for this clarification, Elizabeth. I was very excited to find the Bod's images site just as I was preparing to teach Exodus to my grad. seminar last spring. What the Bod is doing here seems a good solution: the images are available for free; you can get an accurate text of the Junius poems free too. But the CD adds value for those willing and able to pony up the (perfectly reasonable) �50.
Well, it adds value for most. Not for me, since I run Linux. Not for the large numbers of medievalists who run Mac OS X. I think it a really dreadful mistake to use MS's extensions to JavaScript, forcing people to use The Worst Browser Now Available. On the other hand, the Dictionary of Old English made the same mistake, so at least you're in good company.
Just a note that the Toronto Dictionary of Old English Complete Corpus is available for free from the Oxford Text Archive. As is the York-Toronto-Helsinki parsed corpus of Old English prose. (You must complete a form for these resources though.).

Dear All,
The Junius 11 CD-ROM (Bodleian Digital Texts 1) was published by the Bodleian rather than OUP. The Bodleian supported the project financially (the development of software), provided the images and contributed to the development of the interface. All the technical and academic work was done by Burnard Muir and his team. The images published on the CD were already available when the work on the project started six years ago: they are still available free of charge for personal use by researchers via Early Manuscripts at Oxford University (http://image.ox.ac.uk/). The next project in the series will be MS. Auct. F. 2.13 (Terence's Comedies). The images are also available via the Early Manuscripts at Oxford University site. The CD-ROM works only with Internet Explorer because Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript was used (you may have noticed the use of JavaScript in the extract posted by Martin). As far as I know Burnard Muir's team will try to overcome this limitation in the next CD-ROM.

Nice! URL of the form(s) to complete?
Ciao
Isn't it possible to make a CD that works both on Mac and Win environments? That way it would be easier to sell to academics and others who use both. Is the Exeter Book available for both? Does anyone know?

The easiest way is to go to: http://ota.ahds.ac.uk/ and using the left-hand menu browse by language. Sadly, trying to ignore that we have one of these catalogued as "Anglo-Saxon", and another catalogued as "English, Old". The form is available from any of the links saying 'request text'. (If it says 'get text' you can download it immediately.) It is, again unfortunately, still a form one must print out, sign, and post/fax in. If you detect in any of this an undertone that I'm unhappy with our current website, you'd be right! We are in the process of overhauling the whole OTA workflow and both internal and external websites to all work together. So one day this will all hopefully be a lot easier and use open standards throughout.

Having dissed OUP, let me OTOH say how much I admire OTA and their excellent work. (But I know what Dr. Cummings means about the Web site).
