Textes francais et bilingues francais-anglais
---------------------------------------------
D'une part j'essaierais de contacter les editeurs de collection
litteraires (collection+s) bilingues: textes et traductions.

D'autre part certains rares auteurs ont ecrit dans les deux langues et
ont supervise leurs publications (Beckett). Voir aussi les traductions
de succes americains ou anglais dans les collections de poche francaises
ou quebecoises.

Leslie Morgan reported having received a flyer on the bibliography
generator for WordPerfect called "Citation," and was interested in
background information... I, too was interested, and called Oberon
Resources in Columbus, Ohio to ask a few questions, first of which,
did the $79 offer really expire one week *before* I had received the
flyer...? (No, the offer has been extended until the end of December.)

wpCitation assists the user in creating a datafile of bibliographic
information in a WordPerfect 5.1 merge file, and then allows the user to
select the stylesheet (in a primary file) which will be used to format
the information into any one of "all major publishing styles, including
... MLA, ... APA, ... Turabian" and more.

It sounds like the program has a good heritage, from the people who
created the bibliographic software for ProTem's NoteBook II and for
NotaBene, I think she said.

Since it uses WordPerfect 5.1 Merge and Macro commands (note that 5.0
won't handle it), fonts and foreign charaters should come along without
any trouble (but I'd like to see it in action before swearing to that
fact).

The $79 is an "introductory price to WordPerfect users" (who else would
want to use it?); regular price is $125. They have network pricing in
the $25-$40 per station range, depending on the number of stations.

It might be worth a look. If you want to ask your own questions, their
number is (614) 294-7762.

Would Simone Weill's _La Condition Ouvriere_ fit the pattern?
