Subject: Jewish/Civil Calendar

I wish to clarify that the visually equivalent Jewish/Civil calendar is
offered in the form of Icon code which must be compiled. It is not a
simple table.

Visually equivalent means that the Hebrew and English months are the same
shape on the screen, and hence can be compared easily.

Subject: IPA font

Neoscribe International produces a Postscript font (i.e., screen font and
laser font combination) containing the IPA symbol set. Any Macintosh
applications (not just w.p.'s) which support fonts can use the IPA symbols
intermixed with usual text (this includes any w.p. you're likely to
encounter).

C'est quoi, au juste, un-e francophone, dans le contexte electronique?

To Hayward re "tool." We used tool to mean a dumb schmuck in the 30's
in the Bronx. But as you know, a schmuck is slang for penis, which is
also a tool. Read Moravia's novel Io e Lui. Schmuck is jewel in german
of course. Precious thing, to some. But always pejorated. Kessler at
