One of my colleagues asked me to post the following inquiry on the
networks.  This issue is dealing with campus security and I'm not
sure where to post this.  Please excuse any inconvenience that this
may cause.

My colleague wants to know how your institution handles
student, faculty, and staff vehicle registrations.  What procedures
are used in regard to the vehicle registration?  What are the fees
that the vehicle owner must pay?

She also wants to know how you handle traffic citations that occur
on campus?  Are the tickets hand written and later entered into the
computer?  If not, are the tickets entered on hand held computers
to be fed electronically into another computer?  If the electronic
method is used, what company or manufacturer are you using for the
equipment and software?

She'd like to get names and phone numbers of individuals to contact
regarding these questions.

Thanks in advance.

It's soooo difficult to correct mistakes disseminated on these lists!

The help desk article I posted before the Christmas break was from Bev
Bisenius of Kenyon, NOT Oberlin, as was graciously pointed out to me by
the folks at Oberlin. My apologies for the confusion.

The author has granted permission to distribute the article. If you are
intersted, I can e-mail it or re-post it. It's a good one.

Subject:      Datatel/Colleague

In response to Len Brush at CMU...
The system is written in UniBasic, which features a compiler.  At Dickinson,
we indeed purchased source code when we bought into the package.   We have a
systems implementation group (coordinator + two programmer/analysts) that
has made the lion's share of customizations, though the programmer/analyst in
my group has contributed significantly (and increasingly), too.  Modifications
have ranged in scope from minor screen changes and tricky reports to entire
sub-systems (ex. our flexible benefits system straddling payroll/personnel).

Note that Datatel is rewriting its code under the "Envision" environment --
it's still UniBasic, but much more 4GL-ish.  There is a code-generating
Envision Toolkit which is probably the way of the future, but don't know of
any sites actually depending on it, yet.

Hope that's helpful, Len.

Subject:      Search for Printer Driver

I have been trying for some time, without success, to locate a Windows printer
driver for an IBM Model 3852 Color Jetprinter (i.e., color inkjet printer)
connected to a stand-alone PC.  Unfortunately, the printer is no longer in
production, and, to compound our misfortune, the printer does not have the
capability to emulate more commonly-supported printers (or any other printers,
for that matter).

I would be most grateful if, somewhere among the collective intelligence of
this mailing list, there are those who might be able to direct me to resources
that I have overlooked.  My inquiries thus far have been directed to Microsoft,
IBM, Lexmark, and DataStream Technologies.

Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you may be able to provide.

This very day, 28 years ago, also a Monday, I spent traveling by bus

I believe in a few years we will dispense with the legal marriage.  Marriage
and divorce should not be in the power of the law or lawyers.  Society will
have to recognize all children as equal, legitimate or illegitimate.  And
marriage should be merely a free choice of the one at the center of one's life.
The idea of multiple relationships has always been granted to men.  It will
have to be granted to women.    -- Anais Nin, circa 1970

Apropos of nothing, I have lost a highly useful word and thought that some
LITERARY-netter might have it. The word in question is a noun which describes
someone who is forever contrasting his present circumstances unfavorably with
his past circumstances, particularly in reference to place, e.g., "In Venice
/Sioux Falls/Bangkok, it would be warmer now...In Venice, this would cost half
as much...In Venice, everyone dresses so much more fashionably..." The word
*might* in truth be a short phrase;*might* be in another language; it is not
any of the following: chauvinist, parochialist, nationalist, nostalgist(better,
of course, for longing for past time than past place). Any nominees?

You have to remember the topic thread.  These items move quickly.  A
word for a certain type of literary flashback reverie.  `Proustian' is
very good, I think.

I did, actually, but this seemed to have wandered pretty far away from it.
Late on a Friday afternoon, it seemed like a perfectly whimsical thing to be
coming out of my mailer, demanding a whimsical response in return.  (At any
rate, it's a good idea to quote a thread before adding a one-liner to it, for
precisely this reason.  If someone's mail agent lacks quote-ability, he/she
has my sympathies.)
