    I hope you'll forgive me a technical question here!

       I'm having great difficulty in inserting an unaccented alpha into one
    word in Greek in an English text in PageMaker 6.5. I can't paste the
    original (In WordPerfect 6.0) in, even after adjusting for the Panose
    substitution, and the three Greek fonts available to me in Pagemaker (GK.
    Century, Courier, and Helvetica) all seem to call for the keyboard
    character used for double quotes. However, on my Dell "Quiet Key" I
    continue to get quote marks with that key, no matter what I try to do. I'd
    be glad to try any suggestions!

    Thanks,
    Hilary Attfield

    Willard,

    Couldn't help noticing that numbers-wise the list of subscribers you
    circulated recently had a paucity of addresses relating to these two
    categories :

            * asian countries of the pacific rim
            * central asian and south asian countries

    And it appears that most subscribers posses an institutional address.

    This brings me to a birthday-minded set of questions: the role of the
    non-euro in humanities computing; the role of the independent scholar,
    or itinerant scholar (i.e. people not holding full-time secure faculty
    positions) in humanities computing, the challenge of coordinating online
    meeting across time zones or within time zones.

    pondering across the pond,

    Francois

    I am still looking for (relatively) easy-to-use and (relatively)
    inexpensive software for the creation of machine-readable TEI-conformant
    texts, software that could be used by scholars for projects that do not
    have any kind of grant funding and who do not work at institutions that
    can provide consulting support.
