(1) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 18 Jan 90 12:11:33 EST From: STAIRS@vm.epas.utoronto.ca Subject: Network Charging Fellow Humanists, Greetings! I am wondering if anyone out there knows of some software that we could use to keep track of pages printed on a Novell network? We have a lab for students to use. We provide both dot-matrix and laser printers for their use. Currently we only charge for the laser printers. These involves a member of the staff counting sheets of paper, then loaning out the paper tray with X sheets. When the student brings the tray back they pay for how much they have printed. I recall accounting facilities on mainframes keeping track of the number of pages printed, and charging accounts accordingly. Does anyone know if an equivalent utility is available for PC networks (especially Novell)? It seems a terrible waste of staff time carrying on the way we have in the past. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Past messages on Electronic Journals There has been quite a traffic on the pros and cons of electronic journals in HUMANIST over the past year. Unfortunately, I didnt keep copies of these -and Ive just been asked for comments by colleagues who want to start such a journal in the business strategy field. Has anyone got these messages extracted and filed, and if so could they send me a copy? This would save me having to do a complete trawl though the HUMANIST archives... Thanks!

A query about a matter unrelated to computing (if anything can be), asked in my capacity as curious private citizen. I am interested in the comparative religious study of initiation, especially with regards to the symbolism. Mircea Eliade has, I know, written much on this subject, e.g. Rites and Symbols of Initiation, but I am uneasy about relying solely on Eliade's work, although it seems to be just right for my purposes. What makes Eliade so useful is his attention to modes of thought, and hence imagery and metaphor, supposedly characteristic of initiation. My interest is specifically in tracing initiatory patterns in the Hebrew Bible. Any advice or references would be greatly appreciated. Yours, Willard McCarty
