Subject: Need address
Our department urgently needs to contact the following person:
Prof. Padraig O'Gormaile
Department of Romance Languages
University College Galway
Galway, Ireland
Attempts to contact the University College by phone have resulted only in
contact with an answering machine... presumably the College is closed during
intersession. If someone knows how to contact Prof. O'Gormaile via e-mail,
or personal address or personal phone number, please send a message to
me directly rather than to the list. With many thanks in advance...

Subject: outlining text with a tree structure
I would like to sort my notes about American literature - from Realism up
to the present - for myself and a couple of friends who would like to take
college papers on that subject. I was thinking of simply using MS Word's
outlining facility, but this would only give me a hierarchically sequence
of texts ordered from top-left to bottom-right. I would rather have the
possibility of giving a more accurate layout to the tree so that - for
example - if an upper-level string expands onto a lower level, the former
is always positioned at the middle right of the lower-level list. I
wouldn't like to do that manually. Also, when I need to reposition some
blocks of texts, I would like to just move the block, with all the
"expanded" text automatically following it.
I know this is something quite basic, but I cannot think of any software
program which could relieve me of all the "handicraft" work.
BTW, the resulting image would be taken to a service center in the form of
a Postscript file and printed on - at least - A0 size paper. There, I
expect, would fit quite a few pages of notes using character size as small
as 5.
Thanks.
