Re: Latin Word Lists
It seems to me that a question of this type may have been discussed
once before on HUMANIST but I will ask again.

If one has an electronic version of latin texts, acquired through
scanning or typing, and one the uses the text files to create a word
list file for entry, say into a word perfect dictionary, can one share
the word list files with other people?

MORE GENERALLY:
Is scanning and typing text for one's personal use governed by the same
laws that govern xeroxing? Are word lists created from scanned
or typed (or, for that matter, from commercially acquired e-text) files subject
to copyright restrictions?

A colleague at Stockholm University would like to contact others who have email
accounts in Sweden. She is specially concerned with establishing an email
account and accessing it by modem from home.

Subject: mice, Windows, and TI Travelmate?

A purely technical question:

I have a TI Travelmate 3000 (yes, I know, old technology...) with a
Travelpoint mouse, and very faithful it has been this last year. One
continuing frustration, however. When I run DOS applications under
Windows 3.1, the mouse behaves poorly: either it isn't recognized by
a mouse-aware DOS application, OR the mouse movement is sluggishly
erratic when the DOS application is the active one. I have tried both
TIMOUSE.COM and MOUSE.COM, and I have set LOCAL=PC$MOUSE in WIN.INI or
SYSTEM.INI, whichever it is. Still the problem remains. A nearly
identical setup on my desktop machine does not have the problem at
all.

Suggestions?

Subject: Judas

A student of mine is interested in the rehabilitation of Judas Iscariot, and
would like to know of any litarary (but also historical, theological or
philosophical) works pursuing that theme (or for that matter opposing it).
This is a bit out of my field, and I wonder if any HUMANIST subscribers
could help me out.

Subject: French archives


Can anyone put me on the track of some .fr sites where "serious"
archives are available? A colleague in French is unimpressed
by what I have so far been able to show him is going on in
Humanities computing. He is, by the way, a Balzac expert -
which led us to balzac.mail.Z at mc.lcs.mit.edu. (Generated
by me in archie mode.) Try it, and see why he was unimpressed.
The other balzac which I was able to find is apparently a
francophone discussion group, literature orientated, at
knot.queensu.ca. It did not seem to him that Balzac would
frequently occur on balzac.

I'm just getting the hang of archie. I seem to be ahead of
the local experts in the hands-on business; I go to them
one day; they've solved it the next - that's what I mean
by "be ahead of." But I can't stretch my credit, so I've
just hinted at gopher. The reason I bring this up is that
I've seen some references to books on "______NET", but I
don't know where to go to get hands-on information about
archies, gophers and whatever else there might be. I'm
particularly vexed about how I can "see" the contents
of a file (really, only a screen or two) before I "get"
it (ftp) or mail it (archie). Haven't cracked that one
yet. Hope this isn't so much newbie-gibber.
