Subject: E-mail address for Syntax Workbench

To follow up on my notice about the Syntax Workbench, I have determined
that the person to contact about it is Peter Sells, whose e-mail address
is sells@csli.stanford.edu. He's the author of _Lectures on Contemporary
Syntactic Theories_, a well-known introductory book on the subject. I
don't have any information about price.

Bob Kraft as already mentioned PAF as one possible program for
genealogy. I picked up some brochures on it when I was in Salt Lake
yesterday and would be happy to mail one to interetsted parties. It
also incoudes an order form. The price is $35, as Bob stated, and it
is available for both DOS and Mac.

HUMANIST genealogy afficionados may also be interested in some of the
facilities available at many local LDS (Mormon) genealogy libraries,
located in most larger cities. Look in the phone book under Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and there may be a listing for a
library. If not, call the "Stake" number. Evenings and Sundays are
the best times to try.

Subject: Electronic Conferencing software (Karl Signel's request)

I missed the original request, but perhaps someone asked about
conferencing software that would work in an academic setting?
In addition to VAX-Notes, CoSy, and the other tools suggested
by David Barry, the Maricopa Community College District has
developed a tool, know locally as the Electronic Forum, which
blends the best features of the older and more widely known
tools into a single program which is used extensively in support
of classroom instruction. It runs only under VAX/VMS, is programmed
in PASCAL to Digital software standards, and is currently in use at
over nine institutions. For more information from a functional
(end-user) perspective, contact:

Subject: Bilingual dictionaries

There was a request for bilingual dictionaries for the
Macintosh. I know of Word Perfect's Thesaurus function
-- it works with the dictionary. The thesaurus seems not
to exist for all languages, but for those where it does
exist, it is accessible from within the word processor.
