The Illustrated Works of Shakespeare The Complete Works of Shakespeare on CD rom. This application was originally written by myself for Cumana to bundle with A5000 computers to schools. A number of people still find it useful, even on much more modern systems, so I updated it to work with newer font managers and RISC OS 4/5, including Select.

Text and Picture data

For those of you who don't have the original CD Rom (which I believe is no longer available, even from thee who hath it in stock), you can download the full data for Shakespeare, complete with illustrations. This is 16MB long as a ZIP file and extracts to approx 25MB.

Download: ShakesData.zip [16M], downloaded 402 times.

To install, create a directory on your hard drive called data and extract ALL the files from within the ShakesData.zip archive into this new directory. Then edit the !Shakes.Config file and look for the line starting datapath=
Amend the filepath on this line to point to the full filepath of wherever you just installed the data directory. Save the file and you should now be able to run !Shakes without requiring the original CD Rom. (see screenshot on Bible page for an installation example)

If you find !Shakes useful, you may be interested in The Illustrated Holy Bible or Sherlock Holmes, which are also available as RISC OS multi-media applications.
