Subject: Forgery Conference

The Houston Conference on Forged Documents

This conference, which is sponsored by the University of Houston
Libraries and the Rockwell Fund, Inc., will occur on November 2-4, 1989
at the Houston Marriott Medical Center Hotel.

The conference will examine the evidence of forged documents in
institutional, as well as private, collections. Beyond an examination
of a thriving business in historical forgeries, the conference will
examine issues related to the credibility of document collections
and their impact on scholarly research. It will explore protocols
institutions may adopt in order to deal honestly and responsibly
when forged documents are discovered.

A brief outline of the conference follows:

Keynote: Larry McMurtry

Session I: Forgery Detection
Session II: Interrelated Institutional Factors
Session III: Tax and Legal Implications
Session IV: Dealer/Donor/Institutional Relations

Registration for the conference is $75 and attendance is limited to
200 people. A special rate of $65 per night has been arranged with
the hotel.

Subject: HyperClones for IBM

Good news for all you IBM PC users lusting after Apple's HyperCard.

Two HyperCard-like programs are coming up. The first is
Spinnaker Software's SplashCard, which is coming out in the fall.

"SplashCard duplicates HyperCard's feel and functionality
(including sound and graphics integration) and not only
runs existing HyperCard stacks but generates Mac-compatible stacks."
stacks."

The second is Asymetrix's ToolBook:

"A source close to the company indicates the package will provide a
completely menu-driven, point-and-click, object-oriented development
environment not unlike SplashCard. ToolBook uses a HyperCard-like page
and book approach and will likely include animation, a draw module, the
ability to incorporate graphics from a variety of sources, an
English-like script language, and, best of all, script recording."

Subject: Internet Article

Since the start of our discussions on Internet, I've been looking out
for an introductory article on this subject that might be of use to
PACS Forum members. Well, I ran across one today:

Perry, Dennis G., Steven H. Blumenthal, and Robert M. Hinden.
"The ARPANET and the DARPA Internet." Library Hi Tech 6,
no. 2 (1988): 51-62.

Hope you find this useful.
