Subject: Inserting Greek characters into PageMaker
I hope you'll forgive me a technical question here!
I'm having great difficulty in inserting an unaccented alpha into one
word in Greek in an English text in PageMaker 6.5. I can't paste the
original (In WordPerfect 6.0) in, even after adjusting for the Panose
substitution, and the three Greek fonts available to me in Pagemaker (GK.
Century, Courier, and Helvetica) all seem to call for the keyboard
character used for double quotes. However, on my Dell "Quiet Key" I
continue to get quote marks with that key, no matter what I try to do. I'd
be glad to try any suggestions!
Thanks,
Hilary Attfield

Willard,
Couldn't help noticing that numbers-wise the list of subscribers you
circulated recently had a paucity of addresses relating to these two
categories :
* asian countries of the pacific rim
* central asian and south asian countries
And it appears that most subscribers posses an institutional address.
This brings me to a birthday-minded set of questions: the role of the
non-euro in humanities computing; the role of the independent scholar,
or itinerant scholar (i.e. people not holding full-time secure faculty
positions) in humanities computing, the challenge of coordinating online
meeting across time zones or within time zones.
pondering across the pond,
Francois

I am still looking for (relatively) easy-to-use and (relatively)
inexpensive software for the creation of machine-readable TEI-conformant
texts, software that could be used by scholars for projects that do not
have any kind of grant funding and who do not work at institutions that
can provide consulting support.
