The latest version of Epoch available on archie.au is epoch-4.0p0.

Does anyone have the diffs to bring it up to epoch-4.0p2 or epoch-4.1p0 ?

Do any sites in Australia mirror /cs.uiuc.edu:/pub/epoch-files/epoch/ ?

I am researching grading programs (and testing programs) for classroom

quality of these things. Early work suggests there are lots of these
around though they are often locally produced, and there are few reviews
of them. The results of this are likely to be very useful to users and
producers. Does anyone out there have any experience with them and can
you suggest important criteria, good and bad examples, or any contacts
for reviews or related literature? Results will be available to
contributors. Mail me or post.

Date: 4 Sep 92 03:59:59 GMT
Organization: Deakin University, Melbourne

*** Posted on behalf of a friend ******

I am a music teacher employed by the Department of School Education,
Victoria, Australia.

For the past three years I have been working with music technology and
gradually incorporating it into the classroom.  I mostly use C-Lab
Notator for the Atari linked with Roland Sound modules.

Presently I am applying for an overseas travel grant from the D.S.E.
for the purpose of creating and expanding a library of midifiles for
educational use.  I would like to attend workshops/lectures on music
technology and to meet people involved with midifile use in
education overseas.  

If anyone can provide me with contacts and information in this area to
help me organise an itinerary, this would be greatly appreciated.  I
need to find out what is going on elsewhere with midifile use, and
technology in general, with a special interest in General MIDI.  The
application has to be in by September 11.

Thankyou for your time.

Subject: APRA and FAS: Followup
Summary: FAS is available to anyone with a research award and dependent kids
Keywords: Australian Postgraduate Research Awards, Family Allowance Supplement
Date: 3 Sep 92 18:39:53 GMT
Distribution: aus
Organization: RMIT Computer Centre, Melbourne Australia.


Hi Folks,

Back in June I posted details of how APRA (Australian Postgraduate Research
Award) holders (or for that matter anyone with a tax-exempt post-grad award)
are eligible to receive the FAS (Family Allowance Supplement) if they have 
dependent children. In this case it is not subject to a means test of either
partner!

Anyway, a couple of months down the track I thought a followup was 
appropriate.

1/	After my posting a number of Research Award holders contacted
	me for more details. I am now starting to get feedback that they
	have been able to get the FAS. That is great!!

2/	If you tried to get details from a local DSS (Department of Social
	Security) office, and have hit the bureaucratic brick wall (and what
	thick bricks they are), I now have a contact in the DSS head office
	(Canberra) who seems to be helpful. It is Ms Gina McKinley, phone
	(06) 244 6472.

3/	I have been attempting to recover backpayment for FAS using the
	argument that inaccurate and incomplete information provided by
	DSS and DEET with respect to APRA and FAS prevented my timely
	receipt of the FAS. It is basically an argument of access and equity.
	My appeal to the Social Security Appeals Tribunal was unsuccessful
	because that tribunal claims that it cannot consider issues of access
	and equity. I have now asked the Commonwealth Ombudsman to investigate
	this case.

4/	If you also wish to try to recover backpayment of FAS in these
	circumstances, I suggest that the best avenue is the Commonwealth
	Ombudsman. My contact there is Ms Laurel Lloyd, (06) 276 0143.

A final note (to any newsletter etc. editors out there). If you wish to reprint
my comments from AARNet postings into different media, I reckon it is only
POLITE (if nothing else) to get my permission, especially if you also use my
name. Be nice!

Cheers

Andrew

   Shapeshifters, hmmmmmmmm. Casting my poor ,little memory back I seem to
 recall a character called Maya ( I think thats the right spelling) who turned
up in the second and third seasons of Space 1999 back in the mid 70`s. She was
 Moonbase Alpha`s resident shapeshifter as well as sidekick to security officer
 Tony Vederschi (?).
   Classic Trek also got in on the act with one of the early episodes of the
 first season - `Man Trap` a shape shifter in search of salt.
   Next Gen caught the morphing bug with Wesley`s true love in `The Dauphine`
and her overly protective nanny.  Not to be outdone Classic Trek tried to
 steal back its thunder with Iman in ST VI - that and a chance to re-use the
 classic Good Kirk/Bad Kirk scenario........What was that about no such thing
 as an original idea?????..........

No, according to the article I read in Cinemafantastique, the station is
an old Bajoran station, which the Federation has been invited to
administrate, since the area has become free of Cardassian influence
(but the Cardassians are doubtless hovering sneakily in the background)
Therefore it is not a well-ordered "square" station, but has many
colourful and undisciplined characters, including some Ferengi who have
set up shop there.

Also Ensign Ro could be transferring - logical, since she is a Bajoran herself.

No, the amnesiac shape-changer is the head of security.

Cost is $3 if you're a member, and $5 if you're not (I presume you're not),
