-------------Original message------
Dear Professor Mccarty,

I am interested in information on computer parsing of Greek texts,
specifically Homer. I have developed (with a local software consu
ltant) softward for scanning hexameter poetry and now find that the
software wo uld be more useful for my purposes if it could be combined
in some way with a p arser or an on-line lexicon. Bob Kraft informed me
that parsers have been discussed from time to time on the Humanist and
suggested that I consult you. Can you give me any further leads? I
would be interested in being includ ed in the discussions on Humanist.
Can you tell me how to link up? I would al so be interested in learning
the email address of professor Gordon Neal if you happen to have it.

Thank you much, Harry Barnes (University of Texas at San A ntonio)

A colleague asked me if I had ever heard of a program called
"Ethnograph". Does anyone have any info on where inquiries can be made?

Is anyone collecting information on literary computing applications that
would run on IBM's RISC 6000 and AIX-Windows platform? Is anyone using
third-party software that looks useful for databases, querying,
hypertext, hypermedia and control of various audio/video peripherals?

Thanks,

I have heard, over the last year or so, several descriptions
of GAHM, but have not determined whether this product is being
distributed or by whom. I would like to have this reviewed in
_Computers and the Humanities_ if it is in production. Any info
regarding availability, price, supplier/publisher would be
greatly appreciated. Please reply directly to me. I will
forward a summary of info to the group. Thanks,
