Subject: WordCruncher Query
Can anyone help me with WordCruncher? I can't get it to append to an
output file that already exists, although it invites me to (using PRINT/
TEXTOUT). Or is anyone in the world still supporting it?

Subject: KanjiMaster
I am attempting to find more information about a program called
KanjiMaster which won an award from EDUCOM in 1990. It was written by Dezso
Benedek, Clate Sanders, and Junko Majima. Years backit was being
marketed by Hyperglot Software Company, Inc. in Knoxville
Tennessee. The 800 number they gave is no long correct.
Does anyone have information on where to find this program? Has anyone
used it? If so I would appreciate hearing about your experience with
it.

Subject: Mac Hardware query
At Oxford our Mac SE's always hang up the first time that we use MacTCP. You
turn on the machine, try any program that uses MacTCP, and the machine hangs.
Our traditional response to this has been to press the reset button at the
rear left of the machine, after which the machine restarts and MacTCP works
perfectly. Does anyone have any insight into why MacTCP does not work the
first time? The specs of the Mac SEs are: 4MB RAM running System 7.0 with
tuner; Built-in Ethernet card; MacTCP 1.1 with MacTCP Prep installed in the
Control Panels folder; MacTCP DNR installed in the System Folder. MacTCP
settings seem to be OK because we've tried changing them and have only made
things worse.
Please send any suggestions, comments, etc. to my e-mail address, below.
Thanks very much for your time.
Yours,

Subject: high-end OCR
Our university library is looking for some high-speed, high-volume optical
character recognition hardware and software. Can anyone tell me who the
leaders are now? Calera? Caere? Kurzweil? Any suggestions and advice will
be appreciated.

Subject: compiling a bibliography: how can computer resources help?
A friend of mine is compiling a bibliography for her dissertation. Now - I
guess - the usual way would be to go to a library, browse the index by
subject (Dewey classification) or by authors, have a look at the books and
select the desired ones. How could one use computers to this purpose?
I don't know if OPACS allow subject searches, and how flexible they are
with that. Of course they can provide search-by-keyword capabilities, but I
wouldn't call that a clever and productive way. Do they allow something
like browsing a Dewey index?
Also, are dissertations and papers made available on the net? I know of
some cases, but is there at least a systematic database of such references
- this would allow one to contact the person who actually wrote the papers.
OPACS are freely accessible - what more could offer pay-services such as
Magic On-line, Uncover, and so on?
One last thing: is posting to specific lists the only possible thing? And
is there a hierarchically structured list of the (main) Usenet lists around
the world?
Thanks.
