I have been experimenting with HyperCard stacks for keeping track of
references and research notes (it's a way of not writing my thesis.)
These experiments, collectively called the BIB collection, will be
shown at the software fair of the Dynamic Text conference for those
attending. If you send an e-mail note to me I can try to send you a
stuffed and hexed file. (You will need Stuffit and Bin Hex to use the
stack.) I say try because this has yet to work. I can also send it by
surface mail if you send me a disk and self addressed envelope.

This collection is an experiment. I am not convinced that I want to
trust my notes (which are now on paper) to a HyperCard stack. I have
been impressed by ArchiText and Learning Tool enough to consider them
but continue experimenting in HyperCard. I hope that anyone who uses
or adapts them will share their thoughts with me. My only request is
that those who use or adapt them send me tacky postcards.

Apparently, contrary to what I announced, SURVEY CORPORA never reached
the file-server, which probably means I forgot to put it there despite
my statement that it was already there. Then, also apparently, in my
pressing need to make space on my disk, I deleted it from my own
account.

I have requested another copy and will post it to the file-server as
soon as I receive it.

Many apologies.
