Comments: To: WORDS-L@uga.cc.uga.edu

P.S. I just took another sip of coffee and realized what you were talking
about when you said "Unix file names."  In Unix you can name a file pretty
much anything you want to; in MSDOS you can't.  So when I downloaded
something like tushar+bill+steve.gif (or whatever its exact name was)
from Ra to my computer, I entered 'sx -b tushar+bill+steve.gif' and then
put in the pcplus dialogue box for where to put the file on my computer
'd:\gifs\clambake\ohare.gif'.   (Or actually, I think I ftp'ed most of
this collection, so I entered in ftp 'get tushar+bill+steve.gif d:\gifs\
clambake\ohare.gif'.)  When I want uuencoded files on my PC, I uudecode
them on Ra before downloading or ftp'ing them to my computer.

So is the suggestion that all the filenames in /docs/words-l/... should
be MSDOS-type names?  I can change them today if that's what people want.
It will mean, of course, that the names will be less descriptive.

John,
 I've been trying to figure this out also. Perhaps it refers to humanism
that leaves the church out of its quest for answers. During the Renaissance
the humanists were searching for answers to such questions as "What is a
good life?" "What is a human being?" "How does one lead a good life?" and
they went back to the Latin and Greek classics to find the answers. The
true humanist, I believe, attempted to combine or at least harmonize the
classics and the Bible.  It would stand to reason then that a secular
humanist would leave the Bible and church out.  Standard disclaimer, though,
as I'm groping for the answer too.

So...one of my students is going to be going to grad school in a
dept. where the chair is a friend.  She phoned me, and made a few
comments. (One was that there is no phone nb. on univ. stationery,
which I had never noticed.)

Another comment she made was about the student's other recommendation
(the 3rd one hadn't arrived).  This guy, my colleague, spoke of the
woman's exceptional beauty, and indicated that he felt it enhanced
her teaching.

Soooooo.....what I would like to know is if you guys can think of
any way to politely mention to my colleague that the chair felt (and
so do I) that this is an inappropriate comment?  The only scenario
I can envision begins w/ "Bob, you are *such* an ass!" and I don't
think that would be the collegial way to go about this...is there
a 'good' way to bring this kind of faux pas (which I believe was not
intentional--I kind of understand why he said this) to his attention?

Well I am glad you said that, because I saw an ad for Hyundai
with convertibles in it, and yesterday the Huyndai salesman told
me that no such thing exists.  I am *positive* I saw it in a
newspaper display ad, and they are not real expensive.  I
recently got a '88 Hyundai Excel for my son for $1500 and it is
a very good car (for an inexpensive car, of course)...  And they
carry those good bumper to bumper warranties for years.  Somebody
confirm, please, that there *is* such a thing as a Hyundai
convertible.

Hmmm...perhaps for individuals.  But not for companies and

organization of any size to have more legal copies of a software
package than they have sets of docs.  With the increasing concern for
natural resources (like trees) this is becoming even more common.

This seems to be a characteristic of many of the press. It reminds me of

for etc.  I'd do it but it takes *ages* to send mail from here, if it
gets there at all when there are enclosures :-(

Then Karen can easily fetch the .uu versions all the way to her DOS PC
where she can then uudecode them and view them.  (A copy of cshow
might be helpful too if you have one - save a level of the bootstrapping
process...)

Graham
PS Natalie - the long names (eg graham+jenna.gif) turned out to be
a mistake because when the files are fetched to DOS, uudecode checks
for a valid filename and rejects 'graham+jenna.gif' as an output
file.  You then have to edit the .uu file which may be more bother
than it's worth for some people.
