Does anyone know the e-mail address for CETEDOC at Louvain la-Neuve, Belgium?
I am told that they may have a Latin parser. If you don't know their address
but DO know of someone with a Latin parser, please let me know. (I have heard
that there may be something germane going on in Italy--does anyone know what?)
Thanks.

Is anyone on the net using public domain/shareware Mac fonts for
Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian? I would be interested in your
source.

From: Gregg=Boalch%IS=Staff%CURTIN@ba1.curtin.edu.au
Subject: Research

I am investigating the electronic tools used by historians, archaeologist and
geo-archaeologists for research purposes, in particular interactive systems.

Does anyone on HUMANIST know of a system by which text interpretations,
hypotheses and/or physical finds can be electronically "matched" against
people, places, objects, events and political associations for which/whom
physical evidence exists, using date, source and dating justification method.
It is anticipated that such a system would involve either RDBMS and/or
hypertext utlising an expert support system.

If not, is anyone aware of any other research being conducted in this area ???

Replies directly to me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance.

Subject: Zangger

Does anyone have an address, either electronic or snail mail, for the
geoarchaeologist Dr Eberhard Zangger, author of "The Flood from Heaven" ?

My last known address is Dept of Earth Sciences at Cambridge and he
was also at Clare Hall under a research fellowship. I believe his home to be
Zurich.

Thanks

Subject: Request for e-texts

Dear All,

my apologies for bothering everyone with a specific request but I have had no
luck with other avenues of exploration (so far I've tried the OTA, Georgetown
Catalogue, C-18L, CURIA, etc).

I have had two students in wanting various texts in electronic form. The
authors they are interested in are:

a) Shelley (the OTA only has one text by him)

b) Heaney
D Mahon
P Muldoon
M Longley
and/or the Field Day Anthology.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Subject: request for help


A small group in the computing center at Indiana University,
Bloomington, has been asked to assess needs and make recommendations in the
area of humanities computing. Our charge is to define humanties computing,
identify the issues in this area & support services now offered here,
assess the support that should be offered & whether there is a need to
restructure current support, and if so to restructure along what lines
(e.g., coordinating function, center, etc.)

We would appreciate any perspectives gained by others who have gone
through this sort of exercise on their campuses and any definitions, issues
papers, or references to possible models.

Please send replies to me directly, as I am not subscribed to Humanist
at present. Many thanks for your help,

Dick Ellis

Subject: Timetabling programs

Dear Editors:
Please post the following to the HUMANIST list:

Dear list members,
I am interested in obtaining a dedicated timetabling program, wchich will
maintain scheduling and supplemental information on courses, students,
rooms, lecturers, departments, years, etc., and which will check clashes.
At the moment I use Nota Bene's TextBase (now Orbis), which gets the
job done with a bit of tweaking, but is somewhat inelegant.
All suggestions would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
