Subject: composite novels

I'm posting a note for a UofMichigan researcher not on Humanist. In
compiling a list of "composite" or "collective" novels, she would
appreciate any additions to her list. She is interested in novels
written by more than two people, and more specifically in 19c works. To
date her list includes:

Six of One by Half a Dozen of the Other -
A House Party -
The Affair at the Inn -
The Whole Family -
Robinetta -
The Sturdy Oak -
The Lighted House -
Bobbed Hair -
Mr. Fothergill's Plot -
The Floating Admiral -
Ask a Policeman -
The Scoop -
Behind the Screen -
And a few contemporary ones: Doomsday World, Naked Came The Stranger,
Caribbean Blues.

Subject: Contacting the Philippines


Help needed in locating BITNET contact in Philippines. A col-
league is in urgent need of means to communicate with De la Salle
University in Manila. He seeks to reach Brother Andrew Gonzales,
who I believe is the University President, and or Romana de los
Reyes of the Institute of Philippine Culture. Any suggestions
greatly appreciated. Contact:

How can I get an update on the list of Listserv discussion groups which
have topics of interest to specialists in the Humanities? A colleague of
mine is a Medievalist, specializing in Romance and Germanic languages.

Subject: sleep query

I am posting this for my colleague, George Windholz (Psychology) who
asks for literary citations to the curative powers of sleep for physical
and mental trauma and disorders. (Examples: Goethe, Faustus;
Shakespeare's Macbeth). The sleep can be prescribed by a character for
the trauma/disorder, deplored because it is unattainable, or reported on
as having resulted in change.

Thank you, Boyd Davis, UNC-Charlotte. fen00bhd at unccvm, if you would
prefer to send a reply directly to me.

The only Rula Lenska I know of is a popular actress, not normally
associated with Humanist or e-mail. She would receive snailmail via the
BBC...

Can any suggest some articles dealing with the
the theory and/or practice of responding to student
writing by way of audio cassettes? I would be grateful
for any suggestions.

Subject: choosing computing hardware/software

I promise I don't want to start another hardware war, but I do
need some advice concerning relative abilities and values of
IBM vs. MAC, including advice about recommended configurations.
I am buying a computer for a graduate-school-bound student who
will, among other things, need to prepare text in classical Greek.
I can, through my university, purchase, for example, a Mac Classic
with 2MB RAM, 40MB hard disk for $1149. The Mac has some appeal
because of simplicity and portability--and the price sounds right.
Microsoft WORD makes it simple, doesn't it, to employ Greek characters?

Or . . . should I be considering some equivalent IBM machine, or
spending a lot more money for a lot more computer?

For my own work I use both Macs and IBM machines, but they are now
3 years old, and I am not up to date on the current equipment or
the issue of Greek text.

Thanks.

Subject: Mac CALL software; addresses

I guess that this has been covered before but because of the way
HUMANIST is distributed here I don't think that I can get at the
archives. I am looking for Mac software for language learning and for
Mac shareware / public domain software in general. Are there any
catalogues or lists that I should be looking at that any Humanists can
recommend? I have already been recommended to get catalogues from the
following people but have no address for either of them. Can anyone
supply?
