I was wondering if Canadian members of Humanist had heard tell of the Jean
Talon project of putting together on electronic disks a sort of record of
Canada in the 20th century (comparable in many ways with the one done by
the BBC for the UK)? It is not yet sure that it will go but the big pushes
behind it appear to be open for suggestions on appropriate categories, etc.

Is anyone out there accessing VAX databases (RMS, & Rdb preferably,
but Oracle is also of interest) through a front end on a Macintosh
written in Hypercard?

I'm trying to find users of Alisa, Pacer, or CL/1 that are actually
working...
