[The above has been snipped from the filelist; thus its appearance.]

Any of these may be obtained by issuing the command -- GET filename
filetype HUMANIST -- either interactively or as a batch-job, addressed
to ListServ@UToronto and *not* to Humanist. Thus on a VM/CMS system,
you say interactively: TELL LISTSERV AT UTORONTO GET filename filetype
HUMANIST; to submit a batch-job, send mail to ListServ@UToronto with the
GET command as the first and only line. For more details see your
"Guide to Humanist". Problems should be reported to David Sitman,
A79@TAUNIVM, after you have consulted the Guide and tried all
appropriate alternatives.


Yours, Willard McCarty

A few weeks back, some were lamenting that there were no positions
for those who had PhDs in English and who had a knowledge of computing
(using applications as well as programming skills).

Following is a full-time, tenure-track position for such people.
Please pass the description on to any who may be qualified.

Edinburgh - Edinburgh University Data Library

Edinburgh University Data Library is, primarily, a service unit run
jointly by the University's Computing and Library services. As such it
is involved in the collection, storage, and dissemination of
machine-readable data in various forms, principally pop

At present, the only major text holding is the complete works of
Kirkegaard, consisting of 35 books, based upon the Danish 3rd edition
with some changes to make the text more "friendly', improve access time,
and "treatable" by as wide a range of software

The package was produced by Alastair McKinnon, McGill University, to whom
enquiries should be addressed. General inquiries on the holdings and
activities of the Edinburgh University Data Library, and the numerous
projects in which it is involved should be addressed to:
