Good to know

  Windows and anti-virus software will advise you NOT to run this program. You can safely bypass these messages and add Indexer to your safe list, as the program is malware-free and contains NO malicious code. But perform a virus check anyway – it is standard practice.
  

• No changes to the Windows Registry (or to any other Windows files)
  There are no automated install and uninstall routines. If you wish to remove the program from your system, simply delete the program file (or the folder in which it was saved) – nothing else will be affected.

• Minimal system requirements
  The program should work on any Windows device.

• No licensing or registration required.
  The program is 100% free and there are no limitations.

Program installation

1. Create a folder for the program, using any suitable name, e.g. Indexer.

2. Download the ZIP file Indexer.zip and unzip the contents of this file into the folder which you created.

3. To run the program, double-click on the executable file Indexer.exe. You can also create a shortcut to this file, which will allow you to run the program from an icon on the desktop, or by using the Start button.

In creating this program I have tried to ensure that:

• The indexes should be all inclusive (i.e. include all relevant references in each of the four books).

• There should be no errors. I am reasonably confident that the final product is error-free. However, if you do come across any anomalies or program errors, please let me know (email address below).

• The program should be intuitive and easy to use.

The choice of authors is admittedly a subjective one. To have provided a more exhaustive list would have been to defeat the main objective, which is to provide a manageable reference facility for the authors more commonly read in schools and universities. Even within this selection, some omissions will be noted, such as the letters of Isocrates and the fragments of the tragedians. In such cases, either there are no citations at all, or there are too few to merit inclusion. Otherwise, all the major authors and genres are represented:

W.W. Goodwin. 1894, reprinted 1972. A Greek Grammar. Basingstoke and London: Macmillan.

W.W. Goodwin. 1889, reissued 1965. Syntax of the Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb.
St Martin's Press, New York: Macmillan.

H.W. Smyth. 1920, revised 1956 by G.M. Messing. Greek Grammar. Harvard University Press.

J.D. Denniston. 1934, revised 1950 by K.J. Dover. The Greek Particles. Second Edition. Bristol Classical Press: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd.

The citations in each of the above have been treated as follows:

The indexes for Goodwin's Grammar and Smyth's Grammar are completely new, and were compiled from a scrutiny of the full texts of these two works. The indexes for Goodwin's Moods and Tenses and Denniston's Particles were compiled from the existing indexes in these books.

All sections of the reference works have been included, not only those dealing with syntax. The references in Goodwin's Moods and Tenses include all examples quoted or cited in the Appendix, also those in the footnotes on pp. 92, 115, 152, 172 and 290, and the two dozen additional examples (from 1910) appended to the book index.

All citations for Thucydides and Herodotus are now given by book, chapter and section number. This is an improvement on the existing scheme in these reference works (except for Denniston’s Particles), which quote only by book and chapter.

A total of 30 errors / misprints have been identified in the works by Goodwin and Smyth (4 in Goodwin’s Grammar, 2 in his Moods and Tenses, and 24 in Smyth.) Most of these errors have been silently corrected in Indexer, asterisks being used to signify where they occur. Visit the Errata page
