Subject: want to locate copies

I am beginning some research on the computer analysis of translator style.
There are two texts which I would like to work on, but have been unable to
locate convenient copies. They are both translations of Theophile Gautier:
Avatar. London: Vizetelly, 1888 (Capital Stories, II)
The Evil Eye. Tr Alexina Loranger. Chicago: Morrill Higgins, 1892.
repr. Chicago: WB Conkey, 1893 (Jettatura p 9-183)
I have seen both of these, but only in libraries which are quite a ways from
home and won't circulate them. For my purposes I need copies to digitize,
which means photocopying the whole thing, or (better) buying it. Has anyone
encountered either of these titles on a library shelf or a used book dealer's
stock? I would be grateful for any tips.

Subject: Internet gateway for Compuserve addresses?

We are trying to reach a colleague who has a compuserve address by
using the following:

xxxxxx.yyyy@compuserve.com

where the xxxxxx.yyyy represent his compuserve numerical address.
While I've seen mail arrive on the Internet from compuserve with this
form of address, we cannot seem to reach him: we get the mail returned
as undeliverable.
Is there a more successful way of reaching those on compuserve?
Thanks in advance --

Subject: Univ. of Hamburg contact

I am looking for a scholar from the University of Hamburg who might be
interested in collaborating on a project involving the use of
electronic communications to promote the study of rhetoric and/or
business/technical communication. The project would involve setting up
and promoting international electronic "class discussions" between
students and faculty at Hamburg and at Purdue (which already have a
cooperative faculty exchange program in place)--and might eventually
involve some other sites as well.

For further details, please send e-mail directly to the address
below ... and feel free to forward this note.
