Subject: GRAMMAR TEXT

I need to verify the bibliographic information for a grammar text
published in England probably pre-1840 called
'The Compendious British Grammarian, or an Easy Introduction to
the Study of the English Tongue'. Has anyone ever heard of this
particular book?

Thanks

Subject: FAILED MAIL

I've been trying to reach an address as Cambridge University Press
via Internet but unsuccessful. The address I was given by the
intended recipient is NAME@cam.phx.uk.ac

I've tried various combinations of this, but with no success. Does
anyone know what they problem might be?

Has anyone heard anything about the Online Book Initiative? I have a
reference to an ftp site, world.std.com (192.74.137.5) which I have
tried to reach at various times of the day, to no avail.

Subject: Software for Learning Disabilities?

I have received a request from somone who is not yet reading Humanist --
she is a learning disabled student attending this university --
and she would very much like to know any leads she could follow up
in terms of software developed with learning disabilities in mind.

I realize that there are all sorts of learning disabilities and that the
question is very broad -- any tips, suggestions on who to ask -- any
leads would be appreciated -- if more suitable, e-mail directly to me
and I will summarize and send a note off to Humanist -- thanks

Subject: free 9 track tape offer

Thanks to a contact initiated by Alex Di Lella of the Catholic
University in Washington DC, the following opportunity is available to
users of 9 track tapes:

Al Di Lella (nephew of the aforenamed) has been assigned the task of
dispensing with 15,000 2400' 9 track tapes by his company, Automatic
Data Processing of Baltimore. ADP is changing to a more compact format,
and if the tapes cannot be recycled to other users they will be
discarded. If you are interested, telephone Al Di Lella at 301-821-0600
extension 408 (if necessary, leave a message on his voice mail system;
he will get back to you). We at the Center for Computer Analysis of
Text at UPenn can use some of the tapes, but 15,000 is a bit much!
[Feel free to distribute this information to other individuals and
lists; Al has agreed to this procedure.]
