Subject: Hochelaga Convent, Montreal
Is there such a place as the Hochelaga Convent in Montreal today?
The reason I ask is that the daughter of someone on whom I am doing
research reportedly died at that Convent at the age of 15 in 1874. I
need to know what the daughter of an American Episcopalian might be
doing there, besides what her mother told her to do.
Please reply to my address. Thank you very much.

Subject: Crop Marks from Word Perfect
The post-script files that WordPerfect 5.1 produces will print
nicely on a typesetting device like the Linotronic 300 (for 1200-2400 dpi
output), but I've not found a way to embed crop marks. These hash marks
tell the printer where to cut the pages for final paste up.
Has anyone found an easy way to do this?

Subject: Electronic Books/Booklink
Dear Humanists,
Two articles discussing electronic books in general and the Voyager
Expanded Books series in particular (John Markoff: "Is The Electronic Book
Closer Than You Think?", New York Times, December 29 1991, and Elizabeth
Venant: "Book Bytes: Are You Ready to Curl Up With a Good Computer
Screen?", Los Angeles Times January 15 1992) refer to a company in Florida
called Booklink. According to the articles this company is working on a
device called Bookmark, a small computer which will provide reading
facilities for electronic books purchased from a ATM-like machine and
stored on a small plastic memory card the size of a credit card, for
insertion into the Bookmark reader. The "ATMs" will be installed in places
like bookstores, video rental and copy centers.
Does somebody out there happen to know the email or fax address to
Booklink?
