In my MLA presentation on BITNET I would like to cite examples of how
the use of BITNET has been a valuable tool for humanists in their
research and instruction. If anyone has any unusually interesting
experiences I would appreciate hearing about them. Also, any
personal comments about the unique nature of BITNET as a communications
tool would be helpful.

Does anyone know of any work which has been done to use the Mac to
teach the International Phonetic Alphabet? We have in mind a Hypercard
application which would allow students to associate digitized sounds with
IPA symbols, or conversely, to hear sounds, and choose the correct symbol.
Eventually this should be extensible to other phonetic alphabets which
are language specific, and finally to use in teaching phonetic transcription.
I asked about this approximately a year ago and got a couple of responses.
If I get anything interesting, I will be glad to summarize it for Humanist.

Subject: NB 4.0, etc.
From: Jim O'Donnell, Classics, Penn
Does anybody have reliable information as to actual release dates of three
different things: NB 4.0, SLS for NB 4.0, and the promised bibliographical
package? Will the SLS come several months behind the main program as was the
case with 3.0? Even approximations, good rumors, and well-tutored hunches
would be welcome as it is of some urgency that I be able to plan whether to
wait for it or to go ahead with something without it.
