Subject: Software for the TLG
We are considering switching the software we use to search the TLG
cd-rom from a DOS based software to one that is used on a Macintosh.
Some of the softwares we are considering are Pandora, the TLG Engine
combined with Any Text Search Engine, or Ibycus.
I would appreciate receiving any comments, experiences or evaluations
you have of these softwares and their usefulness in searching the TLG.
Please send comments to Sara Brownmiller, Coordinator, Electronic
Resources, University of Oregon Library; snb@oregon.uoregon.edu.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: Greek in WP5.1
Elaine,
Do you know of anyone on the list who could advise me how to create a
macro for overwriting within the system I have mostly completed for
typing Greek directly onto keyboard in WordPerfect 5.1? I want to
avoid having to create all possible vowel and diacritic combinations
that exist in ancient Greek; an overwrite macro would allow me to
code all diacritics onto keys and then just type in the Greek vowel
needed. I know it's complicated, but perhaps some extremely
knowledgeable person could "talk" me through it. I've had courses
through the intermediate level of WP5.1.
thank you,
Marta Steele

Subject: Source of epitaph sought
In my gravestone research I've come across the following epitaph
often. Can anyone refer me to the source?
Nor sex, nor age can death defy
Think mortal what it is to die
Any help is appreciated

Subject: Courier to Kiev needed
Once more I need help in delivering some materials to Chernobyl victim
and poet Liubov Sirota. Hoping to come to the U.S. she sent me the
originals of many of her publications plus copies of her medical records.
It turned out that we could not finance her trip here; so I cannot
return the materials by hand as I had hoped. I would much appreciate
it if someone headed for Kiev would be willing to carry the documents
(mostly copies of magazines which have printed stories about her or
printed her poems) back to her. I don't trust the mails. There is
nothing contraband or dangerous about any of this stuff, but it needs
the personal touch. She is a very friendly and interesting person
and deserving of help.
If you can assist, please email me: brians@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu

Subject: Persian language wordprocessing
Dear Editor,
Could you post the following message to the list:
A friend of mine from the Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris, not member of
this list, needs to do word-processing in Persian on a Macintosh. Does
anyone know of software doing this or have any element of information
about where I could find information.
Please send answers directly to me:
Thanks

Subject: differences
My eldest boy is involved in a class presentation at his school on the subject
of the USA. It's a class of 11 & 12 year olds and they are concentrating on the
(perceived) differences between their UK culture and the US culture at a kid's
level.
I wondered if it would be possible for any Humanist's kids to send a note to
him, via my e-mail address, saying what they feel about the differences
(especially in view of Thanksgiving Day!)
Joel, my son, seems to think that all american kids swear allegiance to the
flag before doing anything and all play american football! (Such is the image
received from TV!)
Thanks in anticipation

Subject: narratology list
Dear Humanists,
I would be very grateful for any information with regard to the
following:
1. Is anybody aware of a list specialising on Narratology?
2. I would like to establish contacts with colleagues in Canada and
New Zealand who specialise in Narratology, particularly in plot
analysis - if you can help with addresses etc. or pass on this message
this would be much appreciated !
3. Should there be no Narratology list as yet I would be very grateful
if Humanist colleagues working in this field could perhaps drop me a
line. If you are interested I can also re-distribute the compiled info.
Thanks a lot!
Chris

Does anyone have a current address for Francois Jouan?
Our address for him is 19 rue des Carmelites, Caen 14300 France, but our
most recent correspondence has been returned without a forwarding address.
