SUBJECT: English-to-Italian Translation Programs

Fellow HUMANISTS:

A friend of mine called today inquiring about English-to-Italian
translation programs. Does anyone know of any such program for any
platform? If so, I would appreciate receiving particulars.

Thanks in advance.

John

Subject: Word Perfect file format conversion

I'm anxious to get hold of a program that will convert files in Unix
nroff/troff format to Word Perfect format. I'm sure that someone must have
done this. Do you know of any program which will do this, or could you
suggest where to find out ?

Subject:  CD-ROM Longevity
 
One of our Learning Resource Center staff members has claimed that
text CD-ROMs have been "de-laminating" and thus being destroyed in
only 3-5 years.
 
Is this true, or has it been reported at all as a problem?
Thanks for any help on this.

Subject:  Holocaust Database
 
Dear Editors,
     I am not a member of your discussion list, but I would like information
on accessing the Holocaust Database online.  I a librarian who works with
the English Department on campus, and one of the faculty members thinks
the database would be helpful for his research.  I will share any information
you send with him.  Will the database be available through INTERNET or
DIALOG?
     Thank you.

Subject:      Query about smiley icons
 
I've just joined Humanist, and would like to open with a query. I am a
sociologist and communications researcher at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem. I've recently gotten very involved in work on the language of
electronic communication. I am working on a paper on smiley icons (such as
:-) for a smile and ;-) for a wink). I would like to know: (1) Have you seen
them in various modes of CMC (computer-mediated communication)? (2) Do you
use them yourself? (3) Do you have any files or collections of them which you
could share with me? (4) How do you feel about their use?  I'll look forward
to hearing from you on this, and to sharing other postings on Humanist. Thanks.
:-) of course, Brenda Danet.
