7 May 90 JUDAIC STUDIES #40 2 Iyar 50 BS"D To send a note to this listserv on any issue of common interest, address it to judaica@taunivm Edited by Y. Greenbaum CONTENTS 1) WordPerfect Enhancements 2) Visiting Fellowships 1) WordPerfect Enhancements From: JOHN BLOOM Date: Sun, 22 Apr 90 22:28 EDT WordPerfect has announced a classical and modern Greek enhancement to WP 5.1 -- it includes screen, keyboard, and graphics printer drivers. Cost is $49 if you order it directly from WP in Utah. They also have a full Cyrillic enhancement as well for the same price. I have ordered both and can review them if you like when they arrive. What is a bit more exciting is that WP is working on a Hebrew enhancement. They expect to have it out in "8 to 10 months". This one really excites me as it could provide some real competition to the other stuff out there. Along the lines of Hebrew enhancements to WP, has anyone heard of "Scripture Fonts" put out by Zondervan Electronic Publishing in Grand Rapids, MI (616) 698-3222? Only a pre-release version is available now, but I have heard some very good things about it (i.e., "Better than Turbo-fonts", etc.). Its cost is supposed to be around $80, which would be great also. John 2) Visiting Fellowships From: Isaiah Gafni Date: Sun, 29 Apr 1990 16:02 IST Visiting Fellowships in Jewish Studies Yad Hanadiv and the Barecha Foundation have established a Visiting Fellowship program in Jewish Studies.
