For Ancient Greek Medicine, I cannot forbear to name my own colleague,
Wesley D. Smith, whose most recent edition/trans. of Hippocratic
writings is in the latest Brill catalogue, and who is editor of the
Newsletter of the Society for Ancient Medicine, a cooperative
publication which tries to cover the whole field of pre-modern medicine
-- a most impressive publication, I might add, and one whose e-form is
now available through the LISTSERV via FICINO, for those who are on that
list. Professor Smith may be reached on BITNET as WSMITH@PENNSAS and on
INTERNET as WSMITH@PENNSAS.UPENN.EDU. Highly recommended.

Subject: OE Mac fonts
The question of Mac OE fonts has been a topic on ANSAXNET in the past,
and at least two fonts are available on its server. One of these was
developed here at King's College London by a colleague, Gordon Gallacher.
I enclose details from him on how to obtain copies:

-------------
A Macintosh Font intended to offer characters for Old and Middle English,
and Old Norse (based on Times Roman font), has been designed at King's
College London using Fontographer and Fontastic. The font, called
Aelfric, has both bitmaps and a laser (postscript) description. It can
be obtained from the address below at no charge (but please send a
disk). Alternatively, members of ANSAXNET can downloaded it from the
ANSAXNET server.

I sent this note to the individual as requested but then thought others
on the list might find it useful.
This is a response to Sebastian Rahtz's note forwarded by W. McCarty
concerning knowledge representation for historical and archive data. For
information on archives in the U.S. I would recommend the publication
by David Bearman, Archives and Museum Informatics and its Technical
Bulletins. Bearman is a key commentator on automation, computers, and
knowlege representation for data structures when it comes to archives
and museums. His newsletter informs on events and concerns around the
U.S. and world. His technical bulletins are very informative. The
address is 5501 Walnut St., Suite 203, Pittsburgh PA 15232-23121 USA.

I received a copy of Uniform along with a Matchpoint card I purchased
from Micro Solutions

I use it regularly for converting files to IBM format from my Apple IIe
(mostly CP/M Wordstar files) -- I also have a few spare quill pens!
