Subject: E-Texts: Nietzsche

A colleague in Philosophy has asked me to inquire what e-texts of
Nietzsche's works are available and where. His interest at the
moment is _Zarathustra_, but I understand that any e-texts of the
_Gesamtwerk_ are being sought.

Subject: Alternative to Word for Word?

I am looking for a program to covert files between different word
processing formats. In my department, we use Word Perfect, WordStar,
Microsoft Word, and ASCII files. I wrote to Willard McCarty a week
or two ago to ask for information about Word for Word. Imagine my
surprise when Willard posted a message on HUMANIST about his
difficulties with that program. The responses to Willard's inquiry
so far have not mentioned alternatives to Word for Word. Does anyone
know of other text file translation utilities that I might explore?

Thanks,

Subject: ethics, business, and story

A colleague from our department is team-teaching a course next Spring
titled "Business and Society" -- an ethics course for business majors.
She has previously used story (fiction) as a way of raising central
ethical issues -- but it has been awhile since she last taught the
course in this way.

Any suggestions out there for literary works which would serve in this
context?

My thanks in advance,

Subject: Gaelic?

Please let me know (MTRiley @ CalState) if any of you is aware of
a Gaelic summer program in Ireland. It could be modern Gaelic or
Old Irish; I am not particular. I'd be especially grateful if one of
you in Britain could look into this. I tried writing the Gaelic
discussion group, but received a rude answer.

Subject: Query -- looking for quote source

We are wondering who said this:
"the role of education is to transform cocksure ignorance into
thoughtful uncertainty"

Charlie Chan? George Bernard Shaw? Werner Heisenberg...?
