From: txsil!evan@txsil@utafll.uta.edu (Evan Antworth)
Subject: new linguistics directory on SIMTEL20

There is a new directory on SIMTEL20 called PD1:<MSDOS.LINGUISTICS>. Two
programs that previously were in the education subdirectory have now
been moved to this new linguistics subdirectory; these are fonol400.zip
and pckimmo.zip. The directory also contains a couple new programs
related to PC-KIMMO. I hope that others will submit programs useful to
linguists to this new directory.

(File can be downloaded from SIMTEL20 by anonymous FTP from
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [192.88.110.20]).

Subject: GeoNet

For those who might have been interested in "Deutschland Nachrichten",
aka "The Week in Germany" (the two are not totally identical):

As I suspected, these are available only on commercial BBS's. For those
of you who might be interested in pursuing it further here are the
informational phone numbers (i.e. you actually get to talk to people):

NewsNet - 800-345-1301 (Canada and Pennsylvania 215-527-1301) This net
does not offer the German version.

GeoNet - 415-952-1100

Subject: Electronic privacy/free speech

Those who are interested in copyright and other legal issues surrounding
electronic communication might have some interest in the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, a group established by Mitch Kapor and others to
examine First Amendment aspects of the 'electronic frontier'. The EFF
newsletter is available by sending a request to eff-news-request@eff.org,
or to their postmaster, Christopher Davis, at cdk@eff.org. For those with
access to anonymous ftp, back issues and related files are available
from eff.org (192.88.144.3). I subscribe to their newsletter, but have
no other connection with EFF.
