Home Page -> PerX Project

Notice: This is an unofficial web page for the PerX Project that I have been using for my personal help and, that we hope be useful to anyone using the PerX toolkit. If you are looking for the project web-site please go to http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/perx or for a general information about the project please point your browser to http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_digital_repositories/project_perx.aspx. The information included in these pages is the result of my work in progress and are not by any means conclusions of the Project.

As the Project has finished, these pages are no longer updated, and some links or software may not be working properly by now.
