Subject: The life and lore of buildings
A colleague is working on buildings--their lives, personalities,
and place in public imagination. He seeks legends, anecdotes,
nicknames, and other lore about buildings--their construction,
opening, naming, maintenance--and any ceremonies associated with
them. Any kind of building--domestic, religious, civic,
commercial, and other structures--is of interest. He would
welcome both oral traditions and citations to articles,
monographs, literature, and other sources.
Thank you,

Subject: Experience with "Philippe"
Our French department is considering the use of Project Athena's
"A la Rencontre de Philippe." They would like to talk to someone
who has been using it already. If you can help or know someone who
can, you may contact me directly.

Subject: Dirk Nieland info
For an emeritus colleague who is not on email:
Does anybody out there have any information on Dirk Nieland (1892-1960), whose
_magnum opus_ was the Yankee-Dutch _'n Fonnie Bisnis_? Respond to me, and
I'll pass the information along. Thanks.

Subject: 24 pin printers and font generators
Can anyone offer me the names of font generation programs that will work
with 24-pin printers? (In the case, the person asking owns a Panasonic
1124 printer.) I've uncovered two in the freeware/shareware domain,
LQFONT and LQMATRIX, but would be interested to know if any commercial
sources might exist.
The user is entering transliterated Arabic into several applications and
needs to print the extra 8-10 special characters.

Subject: FL "translation" software
Does anyone know of a software product that will "translate" e-texts from
German, French, or Spanish into English and (preferably) also do the reverse? I
know of the "French/German/Italian/Spanish Assistant" series that is
commercially available, but that only works _from_ English into the FL, not
vice versa. Any advice would be appreciated, including tips on software
available outside the US. Thanks! Michael Metzger (MLLMIKEM@UBVMS)

SUBJECT: SGML and WordPerfect
Dear HUMANISTs,
Does anyone know of a way to take WordPerfect files/documents and change
the WordPerfect tagging/coding to SGML equivalents? The idea is to be
able to create documents in WordPerfect and then automatically transform
the imbedded WordPerfect codes (e.g., italic) into SGML equivalents.
