MacLinkPC or MacLink?  MacLinkPC is on version 6.0 while the last version
of MacLink I've seen was 3.6 or 4.6.  I don't knwo if the earlier versions
even do graphics.

MacLinkPC 6.0 have a different type of Dos software (it seems to work
better) and it can be turned off and on  without having to reboot

To: All Authorware Professional users

I am pleased to announce that there is now a new Authorware Professional
listserv that exists to assist designers who use Authorware Professional
for Macintosh and Dos.

I hope that this service will be a benefit to all users of varying levels
of expertise and will encourage thoughtful discussion on computer assisted
instruction issues that involve Authorware Professional as the platform.

It is with great hope that this will be an active listserv that will not only
offer solutions to existing problems but one that challenges us to find
more innovative approaches to education and training.

Subject: Announcement of a new LISTSERV

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Greetings from Seattle and the University of Washington Libraries.
Apologies to those who might have gotten duplicate mailings.;  I'd like to
announce the creation of a new LISTSERV for library support (or
paraprofessional) staff: LIBSUP-L.  I thank the University Libraries
administration for agreeing to have the list established here.  I see the
list as a forum for discussion of library-related issues of interest to
support staff.  These may include salary issues, job descriptions,
announcement of positions or conferences, working conditions and the like.
 I ask that the list members avoid the usual topics: politics, religion,
death, taxes, "flames".  Although aimed at support staff, anyone may
subscribe to the list.  The subscription address is:

                      LISTSERV@uwavm

Leave the subject line blank and send the following message:

                    SUB LIBSUP-L your name (first, last)

Once subscribed, mail should be sent to the list at:

                      LIBSUP-L@uwavm

Please pass this information to your support staff.  Join us!

Currently I am conducting research combined CAI--combining
tutorial on HyperCard and simulations on LISP. The advantage
of HyperCard is its interconnectivity (I patterned it after
ACT*) and the advantage of XLISP-STAT is its computational
power and object-oriented graphs. which are good for
simulations. Now I am attempting to link XLISP with HyperCard.
I was told that by using Mactinosh Programmer Workshop C I
could write some system files to link two programs. Is it
possible?

Dear colleague,

I'm looking for information relating to any work involving overcoming the fear
of the use of technology, computers, AV equipment etc.

Can anyone point me in the direction to find:

1.     A  medical definition for the fear of technology and or computers.

2.     Is anyone out there doing research into computer anxiety?

3.     When you come upon a person with a high level of computer anxiety in
your class how do you deal with it?

Hello.  I'm interested in locating a guide to email distribution lists
that's organized by subject or interest, or otherwise makes locating
relevant lists easier.  Ideally, this guide would include other sources in
a addition to the LISTSERV and bitnet lists.  It would also include a some
information about the goals/purpose of each group and subscription
instructions.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

   Feminism in/and Science and Technology, the e-mail list.

   Because of the recent interest generated, a new list has been
   created.  This list is for discussion of feminism and science and
   technology.  This will be an unmoderated list.  If you are a
   scientist and a feminist this list is for you.  If you are a
   feminist, and interested in science and technology, check it out.
   The idea of this list is to discuss critiques of science and move
   beyond these critiques into the realm of how do we create a feminist
   science?  What do we need to pay attention to?  How does one do this
   and get tenure?  How do we teach science?

   To get on this list, send a message to
      FIST-request@hamp.hampshire.edu.
   Send all adminstrivia there too (getting off the list, changing
   addresses, etc.)

   *** Please include a paragraph introducing yourself and what you do. ***

   Please be patient with the list subscription requests (I need to
   teach and do research, too, besides answering email!)

   To send a message to the whole list, send to

Subject: RE: Foreign Language and Voice Mail: HELP !!!!!

        We have a Center for International Programs which offers intensive
Englisk instruction (non-credit) and a Graduate TESL Program. We have
inplemented voicemail in our faculty and staff offices and may extend it to
student access by next year.

        Voicemail systems usually allow you to set up distribution lists,
just like email, so one student could send a message to entire group of
voicemail users including themselves -- so they can hear their own
messages. Another aspect of the system we selected was the fact that it
runs on a DEC VAX and will eventually include a feature which converts
email to vociemail -- so you can read your email from your voicemail.
Our faculty believe this will be a useful tool in language (English)
instruction. Students will be able to hear what they have written. The
company is also considering the possibility of going from voice to text but
I don't know where they stand with that right now. The voicemail company is
VoiceSoft, whic sells through DEC. This is not a commercial for them just
the application which was considered best for our use!

One of our students is doing some research on network security and

area of expertise, I hope I am phrasing the question so it makes
sense.

Does anyone know of any documented successful attempts to use an IBM
token ring board to "eavesdrop" or analyze activity on a token ring
network?  If so, could you point us toward a citation?  Is there
software available that can do this?

Thanks for any help--now I'll go back to teaching English!

Subject:      Re: The Perseus Project

The Perseus Project CDs are available from Yale University Press,
as stated in a previous posting. I would like to clarify the distribution
and pricing that was disseminated, however.

Perseus comes on 1 CD ROM disk for the Macintosh. That disk and
accompanying documentation cost $150 ($150 for the CD, $25 for the
documentation)
There is also a videodisc, this costs an additional $225. The videodisc
does not contain anything that is not on the CD ROM, and actually
a great deal less. It has only the 6,000 images that are also in the
CD in digital form. It can be driven by the Mac, from within Perseus,
so that a user without a color screen can see the images, or can be used
as a stand alone videodisc. To facilitate this the videodisc comes
with a list of images, credits and frame numbers.

For the average user, the videodisc is probably more than they need,
requires too much special equipment, and all its contents are
already available on the CD. For users who work with other videodiscs,
or who are only interested in the pictorial material and not in the
text and context available on the CD ROM, then the videodisc may be
useful. We wanted to make sure that the material was available in as many
formats as possible.  (and as was feasible.)

For the future, though, we are planning on working with images in digital
form more and more, and recommend to Perseus users that they consider
upgrades in the direction of faster machines and better color.

I do not read this list regularly, so if anyone wishes to contact me,
please mail me at this address (elli@brownvm.bitnet) or
at elli@ikaros.harvard.edu.

I doubt its validity. Apple's ed price list includes at least an LC II
option for System 6.0.8. Besides it's almost a moot point anyway, since
every machine comes with at least 4 MB RAM and you can purchase 8 MB more
for about $250 (and you don't have to buy it from Apple).

You might want to try pilot.njin.net

They currently have a file that lists all the currently active
enews disscussion groups, and available via anonymous ftp.

The file, entitled  enews.lst  is found in  /pub/Internet-course

Hope this helps.
