Subject: French-English wordlist sought

I am looking for a basic French wordlist with English (or German or Italian)
equivalents - I need it for use with a barebone vocabulary drill program
I wrote.
Please reply to me directly, thanks.

Subject: New Econ. Criticism conference

Dear Editors,

I'm interested in attending the New Economic Criticism
conference in Cleveland, OH (Oct 20-23). The problem is that I've
lost my copy of the program, so I don't know exactly where the
conference will take place or when it will begin. Would it be
possible to query Humanist readers for this information?

Thanks, Ted Underwood wu10@cornell.edu

Subject: Scanning 19th-century German

I am scanning and editing an 1878 academic book published in Berlin. Much
of the spelling is different, and there are some characteristic error patterns
which I'm learning to handle.

Does anyone have experience is scanning such stuff? I'm using Omnipage and
WP51 and creating a supplemental dictionary.

Subject: Query: Software for Learning Classical Greek

Given the advent of CD-ROM, sound cards, I would imagine great strides
have been made in ability to turn one's home computer into a language lab.
I hesitate to betray my ignorance in these matters as I am sure there must
be something close to ocean of possibilities to chose from out there.

In particular, I am interested in learning what software is available for
the learning of Greek, particularly for use in studying the classic
sources. I would welcome resources in virtually any format--dos, mac,
unix, on floppy or cd-rom.

Contact me directly, if you like. Thanks in advance.
