Subject: Computer Info to Non-US users
Yesterday a (very human, but non-HUMANIST) friend and I were talking
about the following curious phenomenon. Though we have faithfully
registered all the hard and software we have purchased from companies
most of whom are based in the US we sometimes receive no mailings from
them about updates, further developments, etc. This is true even of
very well established companies such as Hercules, Lotus, Microsoft,
Dragonfly. Does this happen to other non-US computer users? Is there a
general policy in come companies not to send mailings outside of the US?
If so, is there any way to see that we non-US users are placed on
mailing lists? Any wisdom on the subject will be greatly appreciated.

for #2 query, re arch. software. Have you looked into Business
Filevision, for the Mac? that with Endnote might work too. You can do
pictures and lots of toher database arrangements with FileVision, I
think, and it is a tested program of some years now. Kessler at UCLA.
It was to have been handy for my son, in Chinese arch., but he was much
too busy on his dissertation, and no one can write Chinese yet on the
Mac or anywhere else. Real problem there!

Subject: Minark
Following the inquiry of David.A.Bantz@mac.dartmouth.edu, 21 May 90
10:36:47 about Minark...
I saw a demo of the CP/M version about five years ago, have heard it is
available for MS-DOS, but am surprised if it is available for the
Macintosh. I think there was a review of Minark (and other similar
software) in a 1989 issue of the newsletter of the Australian
Anthropological Society. (I don't have a copy to hand.)
