Subject: Kyrillic on MS-DOS

Yesterday two colleagues of mine asked me whether there is any text-
processing software available for MS-DOS-based systems. What they need
is something that does not cost too much, but can show all characters of
every (or at least some) slavonic languages on the screen and get them
printed on a 24-dot matrix printer and a laser printer (HP II and above).

Any ideas?

Subject: User friendly front end for listservers

I am interested in developing a user friendly front end to run on
a microcomputer to help people handle traffic to and from Listservers.

I would like to hear from anyone who

Knows of such a front end being in existence already and if so how I can
get hold of it. This info is needed to prevent needless reinvention

Following from this I would like to hear from people who might be
interested in beta testing such a front end

lso interested in news of any projects to develop such frontends (The
first word was also)

And following from that anyone interested in collaberating
on such a project.

Subject: Membership offer

I run a computer conferencing system based at Birkbeck College, London
United Kingdom. I would like to hear from anyone interested in joining
this system as an experimental or indeed practical user (if you have a
project in mind using computer conferencing) or just if you are curious.
To join you will need interactive connection to the Birkbeck Vax that is
connection to JANET or through IPSS ( I suppose you could dial in as
well but unless you are in the UK I would have thought the phone bills
would be distinctly worrying......

Subject: ALA Character Output

I am working on a project that involves printing the complete ALA
character set. I have been doing silly things with drawing programs to
try and make eths and candrabindus, but I'm losing patience. Does
anyone know of a typeface that has of all these characters, preferably
for the Macintosh? Or can anyone offer suggestions that are less
painstaking? Sympathy? Solidarity?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Buddhism and Stoicism

I have noticed a number of superficial similarities between
aspects of Buddhism and aspects of Stoicism. Does anyone
know of a book or article containing respectable academic
discussion of this issue ? David M.
