Elaine, Could you please post this in the hope that some list user
will know where to rechannel it? Thank you.

An author I am working with has unearthed EP's parody of Yeats'
epitaph. I will quote enough of it to work with, and please forgive
the PG-13 (more or less)-rated nature of the material:

'Neath Ben Bulben's buttocks lies
Bill Yeats, a poet twoice the soize
Of William Shakespear, as they say

Down Ballykillywuchlin way . . .

etc.

We have traced it to the book of a deceased author, Richard Ellman
(EMINENT DOMAIN, Oxford, 1967) and find that even Humphrey Carpenter
stops there, saying only that it was written around the time of
Yeats' death, 1939. If anyone can supply any further leads in terms
of which of EP's publications this can be found in, if any, please
let me know. (ref. is, by the way, to Carpenter's 1988 biography, A
SERIOUS CHARACTER) Thank you in advance,

Subject: Metrics computer-aided analysis

The computational linguistics of the University of Milan is looking for
metrics analysis & recognition computer programs (with particular attention
to latin).
Does anybody know any program, and did anybody work with them?
Thanks in advance

Subject: RENATER, French/International Network

I am sending this query on behalf of a French faculty member, not yet
on e-mail....answers, if any, may be directed to me at: csmith@epas.utoronto.ca

The query regards a new upcoming network named RENATER. Apparently it
is to be launched sometime this Spring. It may be affiliated with
CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), and is supposed
to be an indispensable source for information both nationally
(France), and internationally. If anyone has any details, please let
me know.

Subject: Summer Faculty Information Technology Workshops

Our faculty must meet deadlines of late November to be eligible for
funding for teaching and research. Yet, notices for many Summer Workshops
seem to arrive after this deadline. It strikes me it would be valuable if
someone were to maintain a calendar of future information technology
workshops, with sufficient lead time to meet early funding application
deadlines. I am planning to start a database for next year (which could
be accessed by gopher/WWW) but I'd like to know if such a database is
already published or maintained in some accessible format.
