Subject: Manfred Thaller, wo sind Sie?

Would anyone who has recently communicated by e-mail with Manfred
Thaller (Max Planck Institut fuer Geschichte, Goettingen) let me know if
I have a current address for him? I have tried MTHALLE@DGOGWD01 just
this evening and have been told that the node-name is incorrect. (This
address he gave me last June, when it was very new.) If any Humanist in
Germany who knows him would be so kind as to send him a message asking
him to write to me, I would be exceedingly grateful.

Thank you very much.

Let me echo the request for info on how to take computer hardware
to the Toronto conference -- I want to bring an external drive with
lots of data (including the Humanist biographies in HyperCard, for
those interested), but don't particularly want to pay duty or other
fees on it....

I need an e-mail contact point in Botswana
(don't remember seeing any central or south African mail on Humanist),
and (this one is easy) for Department of Education at U. Manchester:
going through my JANET addresses, all the Manchester addresses seem to
be computer science or engineering, though I seem to remember some
correspondents on Humanist from Manchester.

Subject: historical computing

Hello. I am rather a new client of Humanist, but I have a question, which may
be silly. what is the best, and most economical way of combining a
computerized analysis with historical reserach? I am asking because I am on
the way to analyse several hundred french pamphlets from mid-19 century, and
looking for new ideas.

Subject: Concordance of Chinese Texts, Query

Humanists,

Do any of you or your colleagues maintain a
corpus of Chinese texts ?
If so, what concordance methods/types of
software do you use to manipulate the text ?
Responses please to :

Subject: Chinese Character output.

I am writing on behalf of a member of our Computing Service who, after
an exchange visit to China has become interested in the problems of
producing and working with Chinese characters on IBM compatibles.

He asks:

"We have a copy of CCDOS which outputs Chinese characters on CGA on
IBM PCs and clones. What we are keen to get is output on EGA.
We would prefer that we use the Chinese national standard 2-byte
representation for Chinese characters."

Given the recent discussion of the problems involved in producing
Pali, I'm sure plenty of you out there have experience with
Chinese. Any suggestions on how to solve the other problem (Chinese
in EGA) and others would much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
