I would like to thank all of the HUMANIST members who responded to my
call for project descriptions and papers for the chapter on humanities
information systems that I am compiling for the Annual Review of
Information Science and Technology. I wish I had time to converse with
each of you individually, but as usual, time is short and the task is
great. If you did not see my earlier message or if you too were too busy
to respond, please send me any and all material you think might be useful
to a literature review in this area. My first draft is due in February
but I am sure that I can add new material after that date. Thank you
again.

Prof. Moerk asked about specialized text bases on agricultural subjects.
I know of none on this topic in particular, but he might look at the
work on sublanguage, especially that done on the NYU string analysis
project: Naomi Sager and company.

On Marco Simionato's question about Mac stackware for FL vocabulary
learning, I'm aware of two commercial products, one of which I have seen
and find useful. The first is Mac Flashcards by the Language Quest
Software Co., Los Altos, CA; stacks for major Western European languages
are available, though somewhat idiosyncratic in their choice of items,
judging from the German stack. I also used a template provided me by
the creator to make my own stack of Turkish vocabulary items. It worked
out very well. Cost a while back was about $25.
The other set of stacks is by Penton Overseas & is advertised in all
major trade rags: VocabuLearn 2.0. I haven't seen it yet, but would be
interested to hear reactions. Available for French, German, Spanish,
Italian, Russian, Hebrew, and Japanese; cost $35 a pop.
I hope that this information proves helpful. Any follow-up comments
welcome.

Subject: Re: 4.0865 Latin Parser
On the Latin parser: Gerald Culley, Languages, University of Delaware,
has done an elaborate PLATO program for Latin that I believe icludes mor-
phological analysis. You might try him (Foreign Languages, U of
Delaware, Newark, DE 19716).
