Subject: Jack the Ripper
There was some discussion recently about two programs for students, Jack
the Ripper (a logic teaching device) and Buried Treasurer (same thing). Are
these programs available for purchase and general use by the universities
that developed them? If so, to whom do I apply? Thank you.

Is anyone aware of electronic versions of the works of John Wesley?
I'm especially interested in his JOURNAL and the CORRESPONDENCE but
also in other opera. Thanks. Hans Rollmann

SUBJECT: online libraries
Since I am probably the "man in Germany" - Austria, actually - mentioned
in Jim McSwains recent posting to HUMANIST, I might just as well put
my question to the group as a whole. I would be interested in finding
out about gaining access to library information networks in the United
States and Canada through either the research networks or alternatively
via public packet-switching services such as TYMNET.
It is possible for me to log-on to online public access catalogues in
the United Kingdom, which makes life a lot easier far away
from an English-language research library; any information on library
networks in North America would thus be most welcome.

SUBJECT: postscript font generators
At the moment I am back to the basics of humanities computing:
getting strange creatures such as thorns and yoghs on a sheet
of a paper. For various reasons the trick has to be done with
Microsoft WORD, or a similar general-purpose word processor,and
in POSTSCRIPT. I am planning to use PUBLISHER's TYPE FOUNDRY
to redesign a BITSTREAM softfont and then to use BITSTREAM's
FONTWARE to customize WORD's postscript printer driver and
download the fonts to an Apple Laserwriter IINT.
Now this looks like a major effort, and I would thus like to
find out if a fellow HUMANIST has successfully carried
out something along those lines; maybe HUMANIST could even
function as a repository of public domain softfonts for
humanities publishing.
Generally, contacts with IBM-PC/Laser printer (Postscript or
HP) fontographers and desk top publishers would be much appreciated.

Subject: Machine-readable version of a Manzoni Novel
A colleague is looking for a machine-readable version of a classic
Italian novel: Alessandro Manzoni's _I pronessi sposi_. Please let
me know if you are aware of such a version.
Thanks.
