Subject: DOS CD-ROM access from NeXT?

The possibility of obtaining a NeXT workstation has arisen,
but for it to be suitable for my purposes I must be able to
access CD-ROMs that carry their own DOS-specific software
as well as CD-ROMs (such as TLG) that are software independent.
I am told that DOS software can be run under programs such
as SoftPC, and that if necessary, a separate CD-ROM reader
could be connected to the SCSI port on the NeXT. Will a
combination of these approaches solve my problem? Has anyone
out there actually used DOS-specific CD-ROMs on a NeXT?
(Can the same thing be done for Mac oriented CD-ROMs??)
Thanks! Bob Kraft (kraft@penndrls.upenn.edu)

Subject: Origin of surname


This message is from a colleague who is not on HUMANIST:
I am looking for the origin of the surname ISSALY, a surname
from the South-Western part of France. Suggestions have been
made that it stems (via Moorish settlers in Spain?) from the
North African name ASSALY. Any leads would be greatly
appreciated.
Please send suggestions to HUMANIST or <ALFMCGARRELL@BROCKU.CA.
Thanks.

Subject: lab design

I remember that in the distant past there has been some discussion on lab
design for computer-based taeching and learning. I would appreciate any
information on recent literature on this subject or individual contributions
on the matter. We have teaching labs that have sprung up without any clear
thought given to the problems partly because space is so scarce. I would
like to address the problem before we proceed any further.

Subject: WordCruncher?

Does anyone know what happened to the the company that makes WordCruncher?

The information that I have:

Electronic Text Corporation
241 West 1700 South
Salt Lake City, UT 84115
(801) 328-3341

is apparantly incorrect. The phone has been disconnected and directory
assistance has never heard of them.

How can I (legally) get a copy of WordCruncher? I tried MicroWarehouse as well
as some local computer stores but had no luck. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Diane Burton
