Subject: A general request
May I make a general request that contributors to this list include a
signature with their name (the one is common use by colleagues and friends,
not the one used by their host system) and institutional or other location.
On most e-mail systems it is quite easy to create a standard signature line
or lines containing the relevant info; consult a local consultant for help.
E-mail postmarks are even less informative than Postal Service marks (which
themselves have dropped local identifiers, in the US); I puzzled for a while
over where "Oz" was in a recent message concerning paper sizes, until I
noticed the ".au" suffix indicating Australia. I think some users of e-mail
are under the mistaken impression that clear identifiers are attached to
their outgoing messages: to test this, send a message to yourself.

Subject: menu software
I am looking for MS-DOS software that will allow me to construct a
executable menu from which the user may gain access to a set of
existing programs (.exe files). Some of these programs are interactive,
others batch. The executable menu will need to be a TSR so that once one
of the programs is finished, control returns to the menu. The TSR
will either have to be very small or consist of a small kernel that
loads a larger module when it is needed. It must have the capability
to pass parameters, specified by the user, to the chosen program. I
would prefer to have control over the design of the menu, although
since I plan to run the suite of programs on a variety of machines, I
cannot assume, say, VGA capabilities.
Recommendations? -- or must I resort to a DOS batch file?
Thanks.

Subject: 18th Century HyperCard Materials
I have a faculty member who is putting together an interdisicplinary course on
the 18th century. She would like to use hypercard, hypermedia, and other
computerized materials to demonstrate architecture, painting, music, etc. of
the period. Does anyone know where materials or programs for this period might
be available? Thanks.

Subject: buying a printer in the US, to use in Europe
A colleague of mine needs advice on buying a cheap printer
that she can use in Germany. Apparently, a Stylewriter she
purchased in the United States will not work with the Germany
electrical system and, so she has been told, something more
or other than your basic US-to-Europe all-purpose plug adaptor
and transformer is needed.
Can someone with experience in these matters help out?
