I wish I'd asked that question.  I need ideas.

I've got four BIG boxes full of all kinds of remnants, from 100% cotton to
taffeta to felt to silk.  Every now and then, I drag them out and dig
through them, hoping inspiration will strike and I can free up some storage
space.

I also have about 300 yards of gorgeous wide white lace (4 to 6 in. wide),
in various patterns, 5 yards each piece.  I've hardly made a dent in that.

You might want to dig through and give some away to your local
elementary or middle school's art department. I bet the teacher could
find a use for them in art projects.

Pillows with lace ruffles around the edges? Sounds like it would also
make nice 'fancy' summer dresses and dressy slips for the european
look in little girls dresses.

I have enough 100% cotton fabric in my room to make an item a day for
at least the next 3 years :-S  And of course, during the next three
years, I'm sure to buy more, and not manage an item a day....

But what do I do with the wools?  How about some creative brainstorming
>for woolen remnants?

One of my favorite new garment purchases this fall is a wool blazer.
 It looks like it's made up of randomly patched plaids.  I
considered using some of my scraps to make one myself, but found I
was short on wool scraps of blendable colors.... would have cost me
more to buy bolted fabric... then wouldn't have saved a thing after
buying all the notions, etc.

At any rate, the idea is great if you have a lot of wool scraps...
piece them together like a quilt, then cut the whole thing using
your favorite pattern to make a skirt, and/or jacket.  Would also
make a neat bathrobe for my husband, or a hunting jacket, or the top
of a TV or stadium blanket, etc.etc.etc.

This file has a few questions to you alt.sewing crowd, and
then the next 900 lines are the compiled advice from
rec.arts.dance on ball gowns.

Here's my questions:

The special consideration that goes into weighting the 
skirt edges is unbelievable.  The dancers must maximize lightness
of fabric with impressive sweep, so they make the skirts 2-3 layers
of gathered chiffon and then sew yards and
yards of feathers, horsehair, and fishing line onto the
hems of the dresses.  Since I want my wedding dress to be less
bulky, less costume-y and less expensive, I've decided to
make a dress with princess seams all the way down the front, in
three layers.  These will be 1) lining, 2) a mid-weight
polyester with a nice drape, like crepe, and 3) chiffon on 
top.  The pieces will be narrow in the bodice to the hips and
then will flare to a full 9-yard sweep just above the ankle.  
I'm hoping that the crepe, not too bulky when just standing
or sitting, will be heavy enough to carry the chiffon into
a good sweep when in motion.  So the surface layer will do
it's floating thing on top of the crepe.

Does this sound true to you guys?  

1) Will the chiffon layer just sit on the surface of the crepe and
   look useless, or will it actually float off a bit when in 
   motion?
2) Assuming this is a good plan, can you suggest other fabrics
   that might do better than crepe?  I'm not so familiar with the
   names of fabrics and want to make shopping easier by knowing 
   what to ask for.  (faille? georgette?....)

Thanks again for all your advice, guys.

How about a patchwork coat?  Not necessarily quilted, but sew all your 
remnants in various shapes, sizes, mixing the colours.  Then cut out a coat 
or vest from the "new" bolt of fabric.  It makes for some interesting 
conversation.
"Is that a new coat?"
"No.  It's a vest, a dress, two skirts,...."  :-)

Date: 12 Dec 92 01:19:18 GMT
Organization: Univ. of Florida CIS Dept.


I have asked two seniors to build a gopher hierarchy from our existing 
archives from Simulation Digest. My hope is to "go beyond" what is
done for frequently asked questions (FAQ) and let digest readers easily
get information by keyword access directly to the digest archives. I
have chosen gopher as a first start since it is freely available and
its user base is expanding.
 Now, here's what I need to do: I want to allow people to user their
xgopher,gopher programs (from wherever) to do text searches of the
archives such as "search keywords: simulation AND network". I have
had them set up the file hierarchy so that one file corresponds to
one message that is within a particular issue within a particular
volume (10 issues per volume). I am wondering how to implement the
search. I had thought of executing a Unix script via a gopher .Link
file (but I could not get this to work). The script would query
the user, do a 'grep' and collect all messages into a file that would
be shown by xgopher (as it allows perusal of normal text files). Is
this a good way, or is there something better? I know nothing of
WAIS, unfortunately. If WAIS is the method to use, then I'll be glad
to read whatever is necessary. The script solution seemed like the best hack
since I know about Unix scripts, at least. Any help would be appreciated..
 Here's what I did for the script: I created a file called .script
under my gopher directory that contained:

Name=Try running me - I'm a script!
Type=0
Path=exec:://cis/lightning3/fishwick/gopher/runme
Host=+
Port=+


The "Name" text comes up fine within xgopher; however, nothing happens
when I press on it. Shouldn't it execute 'runme' ?

Subject: Link file questions 
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 92 18:22:17 GMT
Organization: University of New Mexico, Albuquerque


I am just now setting up some test servers here, and have a question
concerning the use of a .link and/or a .cap file.  

When I access the test directory, the server alphabatizes the contents
into a menu.  Now, as I understood it, I could create a .link file to
override this, with both order of menu items and names specified.  This seems to
work okay, however, there are two problems with this.  First, while using the
.link file and executing the client, I not only get the new menu items as
listed in the .link file, but I also get all the directory  file names
listed in the menu in alphabetic order.  How do I override the alphabetic 
listing of directory filenames in the menu and only get the .link names?
Second, while using a .cap directory(without a .link file) and creating the filenames that exist in the actual directory, another strange thing
occurs.  When I execute the client, this seems to eliminate the multiple
menu listings of directory contents, but I dont seem to be able to get the other 
options(path, host, port,...) to work right.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Perhaps someone could explain to me how .link and .cap work and any other
ways to override directory listings in the menu.   

thanks,
	drex

Hi There,
I finished installing and configuring a gopher server on a DEC 5000 runing
Ultrix.  I edited the Makefile.config, and put:
    DOMAIN     =""      since my machine returns the whole domain name.

then I pointed my DOS gopher client to point to the srver I;ve just finished
building, and found that the server appended .micro.umn.edu to my hostname.
I went back to the server and edited the .cache file and deleted the extras
which is .micro.umn.edu.  I know that this, editing the .cache file, is
not the solution because the the file will be updated every 3 minutes.
can any one help with this problem.

I have to agree with Roger.  I am not an expert in survey research by a long

study supports his comments:  Especially relevant is the strong pre-selection
in such a sample (only those who are highly motivated AND computer literate
AND like to chat AND . . . would take place).

In addition, the same -- or at least similar -- approach has been done
already with a much larger and more diverse sample.  I'm thinking of some
of the articles in the latest CHRONICLE which showed tables of common
symptoms, etc. and percentages of CFS patients with each symptom.  That
must represent survey results.

Oh, please.  This is foolishness, and destructive foolishness.
Failure to get proper high doses of antibiotics AT ONCE with Lyme
disease can lead to a lifetime of disability.  The later stages
of the disease are incurable.  The spirochete has been proven
to hide in the nervous system, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts;
there it is immune to ceftriaxone, let alone garlic.

Lyme is very, very serious.  Don't toy around with it.
