URICA! IIis an interactive collation system for the Apple Macintosh family of personal computers. It is designed to facilitate the collation of texts for the purpose of determining textual variants. TheURICA! IIsystem provides several utilities which support the collation and conflation of texts. The collation utilities allow a user to compare interactively two text files and record their differences in a variant data file. If desired, the computer can resolve simple variants automatically, involving the user only to resolve the more difficult variants. The conflation utility combines the variant data files from multiple collations into a single file which lists all of the textual variants, keyed against a common master text.
