Subject: MLA/ACH 91: final call

Anyone interested in proposing a paper for the ACH-sponsored session at
the upcoming MLA conference (December 1991, San Francisco) should send
me a 500-word abstract by Friday 22 March. The title of the session is
"How We Do What We Do: Modelling Literary and Linguistic Research by
Computer." Papers should concentrate on the methodological and
theoretical aspects of research.

The rules of the MLA specify that all participants must be members of
that organization by 1 April.

If you are interested in participating, please send me a note immediately.
The boundaries of the topic are elastic.

Subject: Re: 4.1149 Technophobia Strikes Again (1/58)

I am planning to teach a section about hypertext in a class I am
offering this summer (an intensive class, I might add; full-time for four
weeks) and am *very* interested in locating any existing hypertext
platforms and/or packages that (1) can be used quickly by all kinds of
students and (2) are free or very low-cost. I would prefer packages for
the Mac but would also look at DOS packages--alas, I have no
A/UX-equipped Macs so cannot even think about IRIS at present.

For example, if anyone knows of interesting Hypercard stacks that are
readily available, that would be nice. I am also trying to acquire
Storyspace and would appreciate hearing of anyone's experiences with this
platform.

Subject: Query: Editor of Droz

I would like to know if anyone knows the name (and address?) of the
editor of Droz.

Also, which presses seem to be the most interested in manuscripts
dealing with technical approaches to literary criticism.

Thanks very much.

I would be interested in knowing what Professor Sean Connolly hears
regarding e-text versions of the Bible with Apocrypha (Does the NRSV
have an e-text version?)

Subject: IBM PC compatible machines used as terminals?

Sometime ago I posted a message on Humanist in which I explained that I
was interested in hearing of a user friendly front end for Listservers.
I explained that if none existed I had a mind to produce one myself. I
had fifteen responses from people interested in such a front end but no
one it would seem had heard of anything of this sort existing already.

I would now like to move on to the next stage. Producing one myself.

It looks as if the easiest way of doing this would be to write software
that would run on a PC that was being used as a terminal.

The question that now arises is how many of you use PCs as terminals?

I really need to know this before I can go any further so I would be
very grateful for those humanists who do use PCs as terminals would mail
me. If you dont contact me I shall have to assume that you just use
"dumb" terminals. If when reading this dont know what the answer is
please contact me.

I would also be very grateful if this message could be copied to any
other list that seems appropriate.
