Does anyone know of a public-domain ADA Compiler that's available
via e-mail? I'm asking on behalf of a student and would appreciate
any info as well as a copy, if available.

Many thanks.

Vincent

I've only just (22.1) received the original mailing about the Dead Mac,
though I've been reading the replies for days - same goes for other
topics recently. Am I the only victim of this kind of thing, or is it
normal? Is there any explanation from the network gurus for arbitrary
delays in the delivery of e-mail? (I could understand _big_ files
getting shunted to one side, but not HUMANIST postings). And how do we
fit this into the idea of electronic bulletins as the new means of
scholarly communication? Call it hypertext with a random element
designed to provoke thought, perhaps?

[Please direct all answers both to Humanist AND to Mr. Bern. --WM]

I am a doctoral student in Mass Communication at Syracuse University.
I am in the process of preparing my dissertation proposal and need
some advice on software for content analysis.

Specifically, I wish to content analyze open-ended responses
collected in persuasion experiments. Each subject reads a message,
lists his or her thoughts or reactions to the message in 1 to 5 or more
sentences. I would need to compare the lists with the message, as
well as compare the lists of subjects who read different messages.
Eventually, I will need numeric data to perform factor analysis and
analysis of variance, as well as some other analyses; I would like to
do this in SAS.

Would the General Inquirer "do" what I need it to, or is there
another package that you think would be better? I would prefer IBM
software (mainframe or PC), but I do have access to MacIntosh
hardware. If you have it, could you please send me the address to
which I can write or BITNET for more information on the General
Inquirer?

[NB The General Inquirer is now being distributed by the
Zentrum fuer Umfragen, Methoden, und Analysen (Mannheim);
for more information, contact Dr. Peter Ph. Mohler, O05@DHDURZ2,
and see the ZUMA-Nachrichten. --W.M.]

I have searched through "Tools for Humanists 89", "Humanities
Computing Yearbook(88)" and back issues of "Computers and the
Humanities."
