Those of you seeking e-texts of a large body of English poetry (from
some of the Child ballads through to H.D., Pound, Olson, etc., try
a listserv-type system at Brandeis called BIALIK
Send interactive mail to BIALIK at BRANDEIS with the command INDEX
Then use interacive mail to the same address with the GET command and
the file number for the poem you want. A lot of what many of you are
teaching is in this database.

Concerning the laptop power supply question, David mcNeil should check
his documentation for information about power sources. Most laptops are
provided with universal power adapters so that they can be used on
virtually any current. The only requirement is that a plug adapter to
make the physical connection.

Re: IPA-Fonts
There is a public domain IPA Font for use under TeX or LaTeX by Thomas
Ridgeway, University of Washington. You can get it via ftp (or bitftp)
from ymir.claremont.edu [anonymous.tex.mf.ipa]
The advantages of this are: You can prepare documents which you can
process and print on nearly evry machine (IBM, Mac, Atari, Amiga,
mainframes...). You can send the .tex file via e-mail to other people
and they can achieve an identical printout.
Disadvantage (if it is one): You need to learn some TeX or LaTeX.
(Note that TeX is free and that there are free implementations on all the
machines mentioned above.)
Yours, J"org Knappen.
