Herewith is a mail query humanist may be able to help with (from
XCULT-L@PSUVM).

Does anyone know how to contact academic institutions in Taiwan? I am
interested in exchanging information with scholars at institutions like
Academia Sinica or National Taiwan University, or even with scholars
working at the National Central Library.

Any information or lists will be much appreciated.

Thanks:

Subject: ARABIC/FARSI FOR WORDPERFECT 5.1 ?

On behalf of a friend, I'd like to ask if anyone knows of Laser printer
support for Arabic/Farsi with WordPerfect 5.1. I don't mean a
sophisticated solution with right-to-left screen wrap and full program
knowledge of contextual forms -- just the bare necessities for printing.
Proper screen rendition is not even necessary -- just correct laser
printout. Replies may be sent to me directly.

Our library doesn't carry System. I would be grateful for a complete
citation to the forthcoming comparison of concordancers so that the
library can get a copy through the loan system.

Any recommendations on the subject? Price is important, but so is ease
of use and functionality. For an IBM PS/2, and preferably external.

Subject: New Baltic republics list ("BALT-L")

The following is a mailing distributed on the ESPER-L Esperanto list
regarding a new LISTSERV list for the newly emerging Baltic republics.
This may be of general interest to fellow HUMANISTS.

BALT-L on LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU
Baltic Republics news and development list

BALT-L is an online forum devoted to communications to, and about, the
Baltic Republics of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It aims to further
networking with those countries, in two senses of that word: the
technical one of establishing the basic links to permit electronic
communications; and the softer definition of a network of people
building up people-to-people contacts and working together on matters of
common interest. A core aim of this list is to foster practical
projects.

Subscription to this list is welcomed from anyone with skills or
interests relevant to the Baltics, or who just wants to know whats going
on.

We hope in particular to bring together

:- Participants living in the Baltic Republics.
:- People around the world with origins in the Baltic Republics, or who
have connections with those countries.
:- Anyone with technical skills in electronic networking who may want to
contribute to developing electronic links to the Baltic Republics.
:- Anyone needing to research on developments in the Baltics.
:- Anyone around the world with a need to contact, visit and/or work with
College staff or students living and working in Lithuania, Latvia or
Estonia.

Although English is likely to be the lingua franca, ALL languages of
communication are WELCOME: but especially in Lithuanian, Latvian or
Estonian.

NOTE: all COMMANDS described below should be sent to LISTSERV@UBVM ;
[...]

To subscribe, send the following command to LISTSERV@UBVM via mail or
interactive message:

SUB BALT-L your full name

where "your full name" is your name. (NOT your network userID ). For
example

SUB BALT-L Joan Doe
----------------------

BALT-L will be peered on two hosts. Please subscribe to UBVM for now,
even if you are in Europe.

Archives of messages already sent through BALT-L can be obtained by
interactive LDBASE or by sending an "INDEX BALT-L" command to
LISTSERV@UBVM. These files can then be retrieved by means of a "GET
BALT-L filetype" command.

Owner (UBVM): Jean-Michel Thizy <jmyhg@acadvm1.uottawa.ca>

Initially mailings to BALT-L will be distributed 'as sent'.

Eventually we hope to develop a system where packages of messages bring
together specific themes. Examples could include: electronic linking;
visits; agriculture; Industrial development; opportunities and pitfalls
of a free market economy; discussions of History; armed forces or
disarmament; Lithuanian Language items..
