re: (2) Mary Blundell's query about _sic semper_: the (more or less) ultimate
source is Odyssey 1.47, where Athena says of Aegisthus (who killed Agamemnon
and was killed by Agamemnon's son) "Thus perish also [any] other who would do
such things!" Scipio Africanus the Younger (Aemilianus) quoted the Odyssey
linea propos the assassination of his cousin, the radical Tribune Tiberius
Gracchus,in Rome, 129 BCE. Exactly how the Virginians picked it up from
Plutarch's
_Life_ of Tiberius (a very popular book in the colonies, Plutarch's _Lives_)
I don't know. Owen Cramer, Colorado College

Two messages have been posted on Humanist before regarding that topic.
One is rather lengthy, but you may retrieve it by requesting the log
for July, or by using the database function of listserve. Thus, send
an interactive message (if you have access to a vm system) or a batch
job to the listserv at the Humanist to request just the following message:

The following message was also posted on Humanist, but I forgot the sender.
I just saved the text:
_Bibliography Formatting Software_ by Sue Stigleman (1991, 49p.)
Includes information on 35 bibliography formatters; a detailed
comparison of Papyrus, Pro-Cite, and Reference Manager; and a 9-page
bibliography formatting software evaluation checklist.
It is published by the UNC-CH Institute for Academic Technology as one
in their "Technology in Higher Education: Hands-on Technical Reports"
series. Copies can be obtained free of charge by contacting:

*************************************************
Of course, any database program like Dbase, Rbase etc. would also do the
job. Toolbook is another option if you want a more userfriendly interface.
These options all require some programming but can be customized better
than the other options.
Good luck,
