The following applets have been developed through the course of this project so far. You should be able to run them from any ordinary browser, but you will need some version of the JAVA Runtime Environment to be installed if you do not already have one. (Even the Microsoft JRE 1.1 that came with Windows XP will do at a pinch). If not, you can download one from Sun's JAVA site: either the 1.4.2 JRE, or the 1.5 JRE if your operating system is up to date. Both of these include a plug-in for viewing applets.

• Date: ca. 2002: The original variant test applet using recursive variant sets and cloning. The idea was to represent textual variation using the same structure as the TEI's parallel segmentation method but with copies of the overlapping parts, called 'clones'. This method, although technically sound, proved too cumbersome in practice and was recently abandonned.
• Date: February 2005: This applet was intended as a method of drawing textgraphs, that is, natural graphs arising from the editing of texts or from the merging of different versions of the same work. Although not a practical tool it does help visualise the underlying structure of textual variation.
• Date: May 2005: Although still in development this is the first practical tool for viewing multi-version documents online. A multi-version document contains any number of versions of the same work and can display them one at a time with interactive capabilities.
