Subject: SGML

Am I correct in understanding that SGML is a{ standard set of ASCII
codes for non-ASCII language symbols?

If so, how do I obtain a list of these codes?

Thanks

Subject: Concordancing/text retrieval on Unix

On Macintosh and MS-DOS there exists several freeware text retrieval
programs like "Free Text Browser" on Macintosh and TACT on MS-DOS.

Does anybody know of similar programs for Unix? It could be a
simple command driven program or preferably a program that index
the text and display the word list, concordance and text in
separate windows.

Subject: CALI request

The Alberta Research Council is currently preparing a database of
PC-based interactive Computer-Assisted Learning and Instruction packages
in the following general subject areas related to the construction
industry:

Trades training
Health and safety
New materials, designs, techniques and technology
Project management
General business practices

Although the project may only be of peripheral interest to humanists, I
would be grateful for any assistance in tracking down packages or
software manufacturers who specialize in interactive learning software.
Information on a more appropriate forum, such as a civil engineering
list similar to Humanist, or a reposting of this request to such a list,
would also be greatly appreciated. Private responses are requested, but
if any interest is expressed, I will post a digest to Humanist.

Subject: RE: TeX sources


TeX for MS-DOS, along with a collection of macros (along with a huge
collection of other free- and shareware) is available through anonymous
FTP from WSMR20-SIMTEL.ARMY.MIL (This is the White Sands Missle Range).
There is a file called PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.ARC that lists all
files available.
