The possibility has recently arisen that we will be able to hire a programmer to port Perseus 2.0 to the PC environment. The target PC delivery software will likely be Toolbook, but other software platforms could be considered.
Funding is probable but in part contingent upon identifying a suitable candidate.
The programmer would begin work at the IAT in North Carolina, collaborating with the IAT faculty while implementing a preliminary port of Perseus 2.0. The final stages of the work would take place at Tufts University at Medford. Terms of residence at each site are flexible and will depend upon the needs of the project as it evolves. Tufts and the IAT will keep in close contact via network, as well as by frequent site visits. There are two basic profiles for this programmer, either a very experienced programmer who would be expected to complete the job in six months or someone with solid, but less extensive, programming experience, who could complete the job within a year.
