Subject: French translation
A faculty member in our French Department is interested in
developing a course around a PC based French/English translation
program, preferably with thesaurus and dictionary, with the
students learning the finer points by improving upon the
presumably limited capabilities of the translation software.
We are looking at the possible programs listed in the Humanities
Computing Yearbook, but we are wondering whether any Humanists
have suggestions on programs which might be particularly suitable
for such a purpose. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated.

One of the more irritating factors of e-mail, at least as far as
HUMANIST is concerned, is the way I receive 5 entirely obscure
replies to an issue before the original posting appears. (This is
guaranteed *not* to be the case when every respondent re-issues the
original text in its entirety; an interesting example of Murphey's Law).
Yet when I correspond with a private individual on t'other side of the
water I get replies back within minutes. Is this a feature of the
way mailers handle bb-items? Does anyone have info about the relative
speeds of e-mail transmissions? Can one label an item 'FIRST CLASS---URGENT'?

RE: Icon, this is interesting news! How can I get it? Also, I assume that
the SNOBOL4 is Catspaw's Vanilla Snobol?

Hello,
Does anybody knows about the UNESCO's database management software
called CDS ISIS MicroVersion? What people are able to talk to me?
