Subject: communication
Many Humanists will likely be interested in the existence and work of the
Human Communication Research Centre, Edinburgh and Glasgow, which "brings
together theories and methods from several disciplines. Formal linguistics
and logic, computational modelling, and experimental psychology are all
recruited to the pursuit of a common goal. When people communicate, they
process vast quantities of information. To
understand better how this happens, we focus on spoken and written language;
we also study communication in other media - visual, graphical and
computer-based." See the URL <http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/hcrc/>.

***Announcing Version 1.0 of TACTweb***
A new version of TACTweb is now available. TACTweb is a WWW CGI
program that allows you to share a TACT textbase (TDB file) over the
Internet. With TACTweb you can provide colleagues and students a WWW
accessible text analysis environment for modest textbases. With the
TACTweb software comes a interactive workbook suitable for
introducing undergraduates to text analysis.
You can try TACTweb and the workbook at our demonstration site:
http://tactweb.humanities.mcmaster.ca
At this site we have links to other sites that are using TACTweb.
You can download the (free) software to set up your own TACTweb
server from the following sites:
North America:
http://tactweb.humanities.mcmaster.ca/download/TACTweb/
UK:
ftp://ilex.cc.kcl.ac.uk/d%3A/anonymous/TACT/TACTweb/
Installation instructions are available from the demonstration
site at <http://tactweb.humanities.mcmaster.ca>, and are also
included in the distribution package.
We welcome suggestions and news from those who have tried TACTweb.
TACTweb is an experimental project led by John Bradley and Geoffrey Rockwell.

Subject: Software for TACT users: sgml2tdb
Announcing an Update to sgml2tdb
A new version of "sgml2tdb" is now available. sgml2tdb is software
that can take SGML marked-up text (including TEI and TEIlite, but not
limited to them) and create from them a TACT textbase (TDB file).
Like the TDBs that are created by MakeBase, TDBs from sgml2tdb can be
used by other TACT programs such as UseBase or Collgen, can be
mounted on the WWW using TACTweb, or can be merged with other TDBs
using MergeBase.
You can download the software from the following two sites:
North America:
http://tactweb.humanities.mcmaster.ca/download/sgml2tdb/
UK:
ftp://ilex.cc.kcl.ac.uk/d%3A/anonymous/TACT/sgml2tdb/
Full instructions on how to set up and use sgml2tdb are available
from both sites, and are also included in the distribution package.
Sgml2tdb is still beta-level software. However, I welcome your
comments and suggestions, and will update the software based on them
as time permits.
