Subject: Happy New Year


>Greetings and a Happy New Year on Yom Kippur!

While I appreciate the sentiments and mean no offense, I think most
of HUMANIST's Jewish subscribers would prefer to celebrate the new
year on Rosh Hashana rather than on the day of atonement.

Subject: free text retrieval systems

Just to let the world know that
<titl>Free Text retrieval Systems: a review and evaluation
<auth>Bain,Bland,Burnard,Duke,Edwards,Lindsey,Rossiter and Willet
<publ>Taylor Graham
<isbn>0 947568 42 5
is now available from your local book shop. It contains the results of
a detailed evaluation of three major mainframe text retrieval systems
(Basis, BRS-Search, Status) carried out by a work group of the
UK's InterUniversity Software Committee during 1988. Each system was
benchmarked against about 60 tests, using a set of trial datasets including
a Shakesperean play, a book of Homer (in Greek) and - yes- a collection
of Humanist mail messages!

Please form an orderly queue.
