-- Seeking Qualified Individual to Perform FrameMaker Review --
The _Computer-Assisted Research Forum_ (_CARF_) is an
independent, reader-friendly bulletin for academics and educators in
the humanities. It is currently published three times during the
academic year at McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
_CARF_ is seeking a qualified individual to perform a review
of FrameMaker (for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows) to be
published in the Spring/Summer 1993 edition. This individual is a
humanities teacher/scholar with significant desktop publishing (dtp)
experience. Furthermore, he/she will be have access to (and be
familiar with!) both Macintosh and PC (Windows-based) systems.
Upon completion of the review, the selected individual will be
asked to retain a copy of FrameMaker (Macintosh version), and will
receive a complimentary _CARF_ subscription.
Interested parties are asked to respond via electronic mail to
cxfw@musica.mcgill.ca.
Thanks,
Todd Blayone
Editor, _CARF_

Subject: Software recommendations
I have tried to put together the following list of software packages
as a guide to students in my course on computing & Spanish language
and literature. The guiding principle was to recommend first packages
supported by our Wokstation Support Group, then those that I know
to be in widespread use either here or elsewhere, finally those about
which I have heard Good Things from someone.
I would be very grateful for (1) additions and corrections to the
existing list (2) additions to the KINDS of software packages
listed here. Since I am basically a UNIX/DOS person, the Mac
recommendations are rather thin.
I will incorporate suggestions and send this around again in its
final form.
