The data bank has been made by a group of research directed by Nicola Palazzolo working at the "Centro Interuniversitario per l'Informatica Romanistica" (C.I.R.). The data bank BIA on CD-ROM will be periodically updated by the same group of research.
In order to help the utilization of BIA, an user interface in Italian, French, English, German, Spanish is given. It is possible to move from a language to another in every moment.
The new version of BIA has been realized for Windows (version 3.1 or higher). The software is available only in 'stand alone' version. Minimal system configuration: CPU 486DX/33 Mhz; RAM 8 MB; CD-ROM 2x; SVGA.
The use of BIA on CD-ROM does not ask any informatic knowledge: the user interface is properly studied for the researcher who has not any ability with a computer. On the screen all the operations the user must do are indicated. An help-on-line can be actived in every moment of the researching by a simple click of mouse. An user handbook, containing the information about single archives and the utilization of BIA, is enclosed with the software.
