Another non-networked colleague of mine here, Stephanie Gould, is looking for bibliographic management software to satisfy the requirements of her project. The following is a brief description of that project. Any suggestions would be most welcome. --W.M. "A new project at the University of Toronto - York University Joint Centre for Asia Pacific Studies studying Canada- Hong Kong Relations, will collect and store materials on all aspects of the relations (for example, trade, immigration, adaptation of Hong Kong people to Canada) from many Canadian, American, British and Hong Kong sources. It will contain newspaper, magazine, periodical, journal and other scholarly articles; government publications; books; and perhaps lecture material and student papers. We will store bibliographic information, an abstract for each entry and, in some cases, the full text in a database on an IBM compatible PC. We estimate 30,000+ entries over four years. Some of the particulars of this bibliographic project include: up to ten people will assist in compiling and entering this information into the database; information from it will eventually be made available to the general public, as well as business, government, academic and media people on a cost return basis; information will be retrieved for a multitude of unforseeable purposes." Please send all replies to Humanist. Many thanks. Yours, Willard McCarty (2) --------------------------------------------------------------31---- Date: Fri, 2 Feb 90 13:33 MET From: "Pieter C.

I plan to take wife and two daughters but have never been to Costa Rica. If any of our members have ever living experience in Costa Rica, I would be truly grateful for any information they could give on cost of living, travel to Costa Rica, school systems for American teenagers, anything at all. Thanks Vic Drescher (4) --------------------------------------------------------------19---- Date: Fri, 2 Feb 90 14:41 EDT From: The Man with the Plan <KEHANDLEY@AMHERST> Subject: Luther's Bible e-text sought Professor Donald Price from Amherst College is looking for an e-text of Luther's Bible.
