I tried to respond directly to KWINKLER's question about philosophy
e-lists, but have perhaps failed to reach him. There are several
philosophy lists in existence, but there is room for more.
PHILOSOP@YORKVM1 is the oldest, and operates as an information exchange.
So does APF@vulcan.anu.edu.au (the Australasian Philosophy Forum -
include ADMIN in your subject line to avoid sending the mail to every
subscriber), which is the latest. NSP-L@RPIECS is a chat-line, but often
interesting. PHILOS-L@LIVERPOOL.AC.UK is an information exchange which
occasionally starts discussions - membership is worldwide but it's
centred on Europe. Both PHILOSOP and PHILOS-L keep long essays on the
server for people to retrieve at their leisure. PHILRELSOC@HAMPVMS is a
more occasional discussion list.

Those lists are all general philosophy lists. The specialist lists
include DERRIDA@CFRVM, HEGEL@VILLVM, AYN-RAND (actually there are several
Rand lists - the one @IUBVM features lengthy reviews of Rand's work)
ETHICS-L@POLYGRAF (peered) (computer ethics), RELIGION
@HARVARD.HARVARDA.EDU, PHILCOMM (a COMSERV@RPIECS list), PRNCYB-L.

Also try THINKNET-REQUEST@WORLD.STD.COM, for details of a regular
cross-list, circulation of philosophical argument.

Anyone who wants more details can ask me for them.

In reply to the inquiry from G. Obenaus concerning a glossary of
French-English computer terms, Librairie Larousse published a
Dictionnaire de l'informatique (4th ed) in 1981 which could be of
use. In principle the (300 page) dictionary is French monolingual,
but virtually every entry begins with an indication of the English
source of the expression. For a more up to date lexical source,
I'd suggest buying a copy of the French equivalent of PC-World magazine.
The articles and advertisements are a very rich source of authentic
terminological usage.
