There is no reason why the money-making venture shouldn't be
re-inflicted on a humanity  thirsting for more of the same. I think
that the Patristica Graeca was available on CD-ROM already in the
mid-Nineties. For a very respectable amount (an Archimandrite I know
couldn't afford it and got the money from the Patriarch or something).
The other indigestible is probably also out.
