Subject: Classics Text Analysis
I'm sending this message for a colleague in Classics, who
has no direct net-access. He's interested in text-processing
software and particularly in software which is capable of producing
a morphological analysis of Ancient Greek. Is there anything
available out there, commercial or otherwise? If there is
software available, how sophisticated is the morphological
analysis which it's capable of?
My thanks!

Power computer users have a toolbox full of essential programs such
as Norton Utilities or PCTools, PKZIP, Fastback Plus, etc.
Which programs might be found in a computing humanist's toolbox?

In the list as constituted, I don't see what turns out to be (at least
on our campus) the most urgent support issue:
Technical support for relatively low-level problems:
word processing (what programs, how to solve specific
problems, how to get the entire system tuned (configuration,
printer/software handshaking), i.e., the piddling little
nitpicking problems which drive all of us crazy.

Subject: Genealogical Research
I've gotten all excited about the brochure that arrived
from Automated Archives Genealogical Research System,
with their promise of loads of pertinent raw and digested
data on a series of CD-ROMs, etc. I've showed it to our
CD-ROM librarians, and filled out the Associate Membership
Registration Form with its annual dues of $50 to join.
But darned if I can find an address to which to return
the application (I threw away the envelope, which might
have had the address). And since there is a benefit to
an old member through whom someone new joins, the first
one out there to send me the address and your "sponsor
member #" will get the benefits of my membership! If none
of you are members, can anyone tell me the adress anyway --
probably Orem UT or thereabouts, but it would be nice to
be sure. And other HUMANISTS interested in genealogy will
want to know of this promising resource. (Is there a
network group that focuses on genealogical research?
Probably would be worth having such.)
