Thank you.

Motzkin Judaica Collection), the personal involvement of Elie Wiesel,
and a distinguished Advisory Committee that will work to raise further
endowment to support Judaic Studies.
Screening of applications will begin December 1 and continue until the
position is filled. Send nominations or applications, including a

Academic Software Demonstrations at Annual AAR/SBL
Computer-Assisted Research Group (CARG)
New Orleans, November 17-20, 1990
Academic software developers attending the Annual Meeting of the AAR/SBL
(American Academy of Religion/Society of Biblical Literature) are
invited by the Computer-Assisted Research Group (CARG) to schedule
one-hour software demonstration sessions. The sessions will run from
9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday and Monday, November 18-19, beginning
hourly (NN:00) and ending at ten-till the hour (NN:50). A schedule of
demonstration sessions will be announced and circulated in print at the
main CARG program session on Saturday (1:00 - 5:30 PM, Marriott - La
Galerie 5).
The platforms supported for these demonstrations are IBM-PC (DOS), MAC
(SE or II) and Micro-IBYCUS, each with a CD-ROM drive. Of course, you
may bring NeXT or Sparc if you have one; inquire about others. DataShow
(or equivalent) projection equipment will be available. For best
results, plan to bring your own computer from the exhibit hall, as this
will save you set-up time and ensure that you have a proper system.
CARG cannot guarantee that micro-computers in the CARG Demonstration
Room will have an OS (version), RAM, video and fonts that you may
require for your software. The demonstration slots are open to both
institutionally-affiliated and commercial software developers.
If you wish to arrange for a demonstration session, contact: Professor
Alan Groves, Westminster Theological Seminary, (1 215) 887-5511. Please
have a couple date/time alternatives in mind.
