1) Listserve

We are now available as JUDAICA, on LISTSERV@TAUNIVM. This opens up a whole
new range of possibilities; as soon as I find out what they are, I'll let
you know. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

To begin with, please let me know what topics you are interested in hearing
about, so that we can group people by interests as the list expands. Of
course, we hope that the eventual existence of smaller conferences will not
vitiate one of our principal aims- communication. In the extreme case, if
you do not want your address available to other members of the list at all,
let me know that as well. (I've just heard this compared to having an
unlisted telephone number.)

4) Wordmill

From: <SCHIFFMAN@NYUACF>          Date: Fri,  7 Apr 89 08:37 EDT

I am looking for information on converting Wordmill 3.1 files into ascii,
which I have tried with no success.  Does anyone you know have experience
in this? Also, is it possible to drive a laser printer with it (normally it
uses a printer chip)?  Also, is anyone typesetting from Wordmill?

Thanks,

L. Schiffman

From:       UCLHMJG@EUCLID.UCL.AC.UK (on GEC 4190 Rim-C at UCL)
Date:       Mon, 10 Apr 89 12:01

I hope you received the note I sent previously regarding a new lectureship
at University College London, Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, in
Modern Jewish History.  We are looking for a young candidate, completing
or having recently completed a Ph.d on Eastern/Middle European Jewish
History, for an initial period of 3 years, renewable. It is important
that the information get around, since the position is for Autumn 1989.

Yechiel replies- I don't remember getting a previous note, but, between
my schedule and our fantastic hardware, you can never tell.

NEXT WEEK- Tenth World Congress of Jewish Studies
