Subject: Naming Suggestions
A colleague of mine at the Wharton Business School is
seeking suggestions from classical and/or mythological
worlds of a name to give to a program that serves a
mediatorial and resolving function in disputes and
negotiations. His description follows. I told him that
HUMANISTs would be brimming with ideas, so this is a
test! You may post suggestions directly to him, or,
if you really want to share your cleverness, to the
group and I will mediate them to him. Bob Kraft

Subject: Name of Computer Program
The program acts as a kind of mediator for disputants and negotiators by
guiding them through some input steps, permitting communication through
a network, and finally suggesting agreements that may be better for all
parties. I am looking for a name from mythology (east or west) but will
entertain any ideas that suggest the value of cooperation. Some ideas
so far: Solomon, Mesites, Peraklete. Suggestions? Thanks for your
help!

Subject: Good Bibliographic Software
Our faculty have started using various bibliographic citation
software, without having the advantage of reviews from those with
experience with such things. I would be interested in
collecting recommendations and/or cautions regarding this
type of software. The Word Processor most commonly found
is Word Perfect running under Dos, but we also have a number
of Mac Microsoft Word/Word Perfect users.
