Subject: Nodes is Cameroons [Cameroun]
Does anyone know the addresses of any Internet, Bitnet, or UUCP nodes in
the Cameroons? This has very little to do with Humanist, but it seemed
a good place to try, given the diverse mailing list.

Subject: Fractals, Chaos, Mandelbrot, Lorenz, etc.
We have been viewing some very interesting video tapes and computer
programs such as NOVA - Chaos, Nothing But Zooms (Cornell Supercomputer)
and an Innovation tape in which Benoit Mandelbrot appears. Also of high
interest books "Chaos, The Making of a Science" by James Gleick,
"Computers, Pattern, Chaos, and Beauty" by Clifford Pickover,
and "The Beauty of Fractals" by Peitgen and Richter.
We are interested in finding DOS programs of fractals or strange
attractors in chaos, especially 256 color and or versions which use math
coprocessors.
These materials are highly recommended and we would love to hear public
or private commentaries on them.

I have found that for large texts Wordcruncher performs well as an
indexing tool. It is not, however, easy to use and requires a
considerable amount of time to master. The address is:
Electronic Text Corporation
5600 North University Ave.
Provo, UT 84604
(801) 226 0616
Giorgio Perissinotto
University of California
Santa Barbara, CA 93106

GPERISSI@UCSBUXA.UCSB.EDU
p.s. Wordcruncher works really well with WordPerfect.
