Subject:      totally asynch

Hi,

        I'm trying to figure out how to interleave input streams.
FANINANY appears to take all and everything available on a particular
stream until it becomes  "not ready".   That's not what I want.   I need
to slip-in records from the other streams as they become available.  I
can see how to do this in a polling loop,  but that's a lot of overhead.

        Thoughts?

I am sorry I was not sure about what I asked.  What I want to know is that
Germany has been unified already then, how the unification of Germany has
been effecting on the other countries such as France, England, etc.  I
think that there would have been many changes in Europe economy since
Germany was unified.  Have these countries ever received any benefits from
the unification of Germany?  If so, What kind of benefits did they receive
in briefly? Thank you.

                                      truly yours,

NEXUS-INTERNATIONAL  BROADCASTING  ASSOCIATION  IS   LOOKING  FOR
SHORTWAVE OR MEDIUM WAVE (AM) STATIONS IN THE FORMER TERRITORY OF
THE USSR, AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN EASTERN EUROPE WHO WOULD LIKE TO
RELAY RADIO PROGRAMS ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS, AND MAY BE ABLE TO
COVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN EUROPE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS.

   NEXUS-IBA   is   a   strictly   non-profit,   non-commercial
   Association  chartered according  to  the  Italian  law. Our
   current broadcasts consists of  news items as well  as music
   and  our  weekly  SW  Listeners'  mailbag  programme ("Hello
   There"). All programmes beamed to Europe from Milano, Italy,
   and are transmitted  over  our  station  'IRRS-Shortwave' in
   English, French, Spanish, Russian and Yugoslavian.

   NEXUS-IBA charter guarantees free access to our broadcasting
   media on FM and SW to all individuals and/or organizations.
   All  of  NEXUS-IBA's members  pay  a  share  of  our overall
   running costs,  based on the actual usage of  airtime on our
   stations.  We  are totally donation  driven  for a financial
   base   and  entirely   volunteer  driven  for  all   of  the
   operational   infrastructure:    including  our  announcers,
   programmers,   computer  and  HF   engineers,  monitors  and
   frequency consultants.  We are leaders in station automation
   and digital sound broadcasting,  and  would  offer technical
   assistance,  consulting   and  technology  transfer  to  all
   participating stations.

If you know of,  or are in contact with,   any Shortwave or MW/AM
station who would like into a re-broadcasting agreement  with our
organization,   please   contact   us.   Since   other   ways  of
communications  with  Eastern  Europe  are  still  expensive  and
unreliable,  we  do  prefer  and encourage the use  of electronic
mail. Shortwave stations from other areas outside Europe may also
enquire, providing details on their coverage area.

This statement is wrong. Germany (west) was experiencing a boom period for
more than 2 years while other industrialized countries around the world
were in a recession. Some of the demand generated from German unification
has spread out to other countries. Austria in particular benefitted from
it. Some 1/10 percentage points of economic growth in Austria was
attributed to this effect (Sorry, I could not find the precise figures at
the moment).
This development is closely related to other developments resulting from
the removal of barriers between East and West Europe. To those who are
interested in these processes: The discussion list CERRO-L@AEARN.BITNET
focusses on the economic aspects of restructuring in Central Europe. In
march there will be a virtual conference over the network on this topic. If
you want to know more, please write to me directly (maier@nestroy.wu-wien.

Subject:      unification of Germany

Te unification of Germany did not affect its neighbours in a
a positive way. Dismantling former East Germany left the West part
of the country in disarray. Unempolyed East Germans flooded the West in
serch of jobs. The strong economy of the west saw its strength
diminishing as a result of this influx.
It was hoped that the unification would bring economic prosperity to
Germany, but unfortunately things do not seem to be heading in that
direction. Germany's neighbours are worried that a less stable Germany
would affect the future of the EC and the planned union of its members.

Germany in September did not request to be given a permanent seat on the UN Sec

d raise no objection if the opportunity was presented to him.  The Security Cou
ncil is the seat of all action in the UN, it authorizes peacekeeping operations
 everywhere in the world, it also authorizes those armed forces to use force if
 necessary.  With Peacekeepers seemingly becoming peaceMAKERS, what effect woul

Any thoughts?

I have just returned to the United States after an extended visit to

When I returned, I discovered that I had a number of questions about the

When I was in Budapest, I talked with a number of people, but I do not have
E-mail addresses for anyone there.

Would someone who lives in Budapest be willing to answer some questions for

Subject:      Re: German Unification

To add to Ms. Richie's observations, the economic slowdown in the EC is
likely to be the result of several world events which happened to occure
at the same time.  Consider the cyclical nature of free market economies.
After every boom there is a slow down.  The cycle is 4 to 7 years.  Also,
the German Bundesbank has for decades followed a rather conservative
monetary policy opting for slow down instead of risking inflation.

When examining West European and US investment in eastern Europe,
including in the remnants of the USSR German capital is leading
the
way. This has a way of raising interest rates in the long run.  And
last, but not least, with the close interrelationship among the
economies of the world it can not but happen that a downturn in the
economy of a major region (this time the US) the rest will be similarly
effected.

Concerning Macintosh and Cyrillic:  As of August, 1992, Apple did not have
an official Macintosh system in any Cyrillic language.  Since they do have
Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Persian and Thai (as well as about twenty other
languages using variations on the Roman alphabetic), there are clearly no
technical barriers to Cyrillic, but they apparently haven't gotten around
to it yet.
   Apple lists the following person as their "Eastern Europe International

Africa and the Middle East -- busy dude...)

I would assume that Apple has plans to get a system in Russian at least, and
once Apple standardizes on a font or set of fonts, others are likely to follow.

Seems like a little bit of trouble. Not for the rest of the world
(fortunately we won't have a constellation of germany vs. the rest
of the world), but for the germans themselves. There is a rather
serious controverse discussion about the purpose of german troops.
According to the constitution, their purpose is clearly to defend the
territory of Germany. There is large agreement that this also applies
to the territories of their (NATO) allies. "authonomous" usage, i.e.
only by decision of the german government, in other parts of the world
would clearly be against the constitution. What stays unclear is
whether german troops can be sent out under the flag of the UN (and
what task they might be allowed to perform : peacekeeping or
peacemaking - also known as fighting ). There are tendencies to
"fulfill the responsible role that Germany is expected to take",
and there is the wish "to demonstrate sovereignty". And there are
various mixtures of these and other arguments. The main front lines
are between three parties: those who do not want to have german
troops "abroad" (not at all), those who want to change the constitution
to allow restricted peacekeeping missions for the UN, and a third
party who wants more (can't exactly say how far this goes - depends
on the speaker and on the opportunity he says it). Sometimes one has the
impression that this third party actually doesn't believe that a change
of laws is really necessary, and doesn't even really care of
the necessary consensus on this important issue (since everyday life is
less affected by this issue, one can hope that the discussion will
not take the same pathes as the asylum-discussion did ...).

This may seem like an odd question for the net, but maybe it can be
construed as relavent.  I have recently come across a motorcycle of unknown
(possibly Eastern European) manufacture.  Its from a company called OMZ.  I
believe it to be East German or possibly German manufacture in Eastern
Europe.  It is a small, red, 150 cc, scooter type machine with one cylinder
and a silver inset in the tank with the OMZ emblem.   I cannot find any
information on it.  Has anyone heard of a Eastern European company called
OMZ that does motorcycles?????

Thank you for any reply and I hope the message is not inappropriate.

The Bulgarians have been doing their bit.  Todor Zhivkov has been convicted
on embezzlement charges and, I think, some of his lieutenants are behind
bars or waiting for trial.

Apart from this exception, you are right.  The new leaders are probably too
afraid of the potential unintented effects rattling skeletons in the cupboards.
