This query was recently posted on C18-L -- I have sent it along, thinking
that HUMANISTs might be able to help. Please reply directly to the original
inquirer, since there is no guarantee that answers on HUMANIST will reach him.
All best wishes -- Kevin Berland for C18-L

Subject: mapping-software

In my research I have built a rather large database of place-name variations.
Now I would like to hook this database to maps. Does anyone know of good
software to do this ?

Subject: Recommendations on NUDIST text analysis program?
 
We are looking for a good qualitative (text) analysis program for the
Macintosch. We are considering NUDIST, from La Trobe University in
Australia. Does anyone have experience with this program? Our immediate
research application is studying learners' comprehension of second language
texts by comparing recall protocols under the effect of a number of
variables. We are also interested in studying the acquisition of grammar by
analysing both written and oral texts for various kinds of structures and
idioms. Can you recommend NUDIST for such applications? Can you recommend
other programs for our consideration?

Subject: Software for TLL/PHI CD-ROM #5.3
 
        As co-author of Pharos, a Windows based program for working with
the TLG and PHI CD-ROM discs, I would like to answer Willard McCarty's
request for a status report.
        The current version of Pharos, version 0.2, which works with the
TLG CD-ROM #C and the PHI CD-ROM disc #5.3 (which contains the Latin
authors) is currently available via anonymous FTP from ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu.
My co-author, Darl Dumont, is currently working on a new version which will
also work with the new TLG CD-ROM #D.  This version is expected in January
or February.  There are several technical problems which make the use of
PHI CD-ROM #6 problematical, but we do expect to provide support for this
disc in the future.
        For more information about Pharos or to be added to our electronic
mailing list, please contact:
        Randall M. Smith  rsmith1@cc.swarthmore.edu
