Subject: neolatin

Can some kind Latinist out there help me? I want to translate a saying
allegedly my grandmother's favourite utterance -- "If the shoe pinches,
wear it!"

I'm not satisfied with my own translation, and wish to avoid howlers.
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

Subject: CD-ROM help

I am thinking of buying a CD-ROM. As this is a rather large spending,
for me, I would also like to use it as Compact disk player. I
understand most of the newer units have this option.

Also, The unit has to be external, as all my drive bays are full.

Any comments, suggestion and advice will be most welcome. Please answer
me directly (GILF@HUJIVMS.BITNET of GILF@HUJI.AC.HU.IL.). I will
forward the information to anyone interested.

Thanks

Gil

Subject: Inductive Hebrew Instruction

A colleague is a looking for a text for teaching introductory Hebrew
using the inductive approach. She would be interested in texts in
either French or English and is only interested in texts that have
been used *successfully*. Many thanks for any suggestions. Greg.

Subject: IPA Font for MS Word?

I would be interested to receive any information anyone has about the
availability of phonetic symbol fonts for use with MS Word on a PC (I do
not have access to a Mac).

Subject: German e-mail address

A colleague in (formerly BRD/Federal Republic of/"West") Germany has
provided me with an e-mail address which seems not to work. It reads:

(user id)@gmdzi.uucp

Our local postmaster can only determine that the network (uucp) and
node (gmdzi) are legitimate -- but _not_, for example, whether I need
to add a gateway address, i.e., something like:

(user id)%gmdzi.uucp@gateway

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

I got a flyer this morning from "The Intercollegiate Studies Institute"
in Bryn Mawr, PA announcing a conference on "Western Tradition v.
Deconstruction" in Chicago on Dec. 29th. The Conference, at which
Roger Kimball and others will speak, looks both intriguing and
tendentious. Does anyone out there know anything about this Institute?
What axes do they usually grind, and where do they swing them?

Their phone number, for those of you who might be interested, is
800 526-7022.

Thanks. Alan McKenzie, English, Purdue (vyc@mace.cc.purdue.edu)
