PLEASE COPY THIS DISK LISTINGS 10/19/93 96 disks from: The B&R Samizdat Express PO Box 161 West Roxbury, MA 02132 samizdat@world.std.com We are making public-domain and "freely available" information available on disk. We encourage you to make as many copies of these texts as you need to share with your colleagues and students. All of the following disks can be purchased individually for $10 a piece, prepaid. For the U.S, this price includes shipping and handling. Massachusetts residents add $.50 per disk for sales tax. For customers outside the U.S., payment must be in U.S. dollars, a check payable by a U.S. bank; please add $2 per order for airmail postage, (unless you are making this purchaseon behalf of a blind person, in which case there is no postage charge.) All orders from individuals must be prepaid. We accept purchase orders from school districts and educational institutions, including standing orders for the entire collection or for specific categories of information. For fastest response, please alert us by email; then we can have your disks ready to ship to you when your check arrives. We normally provide our texts on 3-1/2" high-density disks. Please specify IBM or Macintosh. If you require double- density, rather than high-density disks for your system, please make that clear in your order, and expect delivery to take a bit longer. (That may mean you receive more disks, but the price is the same for the same information.) Most of this information is provided in plain, unenhanced text form, to make it easy for you to import it into your favorite word processing program. The exception is texts obtained from the Oxford Archive. Marked "SGML" in our list, these have coding which enhances the text for those who are equipped to read it. The code indicates such features as chapter headings, pagination, emphasis (such as italics), and also foreign accent marks. Those who do not have SGML capability will find the markings a relatively minor nuisance, which does not deter from the readability and usefulness of the text. Most of our IBM-formatted disks also include a public-domain program READ.EXE (from the U.S. Department of Commerce) which makes it easy to read and search plain text documents. We provide these texts as they are found on the Internet. We do no additional editing. We believe the people who originally input or scanned these texts made every effort to be accurate. But we cannot guarantee the accuracy. Please accept these texts "as is," in the spirit of sharing which prevails on the Internet. If for any reason you are not satisfied with a disk which you purchased directly from us, you may return it for replacement or refund. When you do make copies, please treat the information and its originators with respect. Think of this as an extension of the Internet -- "Internet on a Disk" -- and treat the information with the same consideration as if you had obtained it directly from the Internet. Always credit your sources and respect the wishes of the originators of the information, as stated in their documents. Please note that when the document itself does not clearly indicate whether the material can be freely copied, we contact the source of the information for permission to include it on our disks. Copies of these permission notes are on the disks themselves. We typically add dozens of new disks each month. Send us email and we'll keep you updated. Or if you do not have an email address, for an updated catalog send us a self-addressed, stamped business-sized envelope (or order a disk -- it will come with the latest catalog on it.) Our postal address is PO Box 161, 33 Gould St., West Roxbury, MA 02132. You can also reach us over the Internet at samizdat@world.std.com Many thanks to the people who make texts freely available available in electronic form. ***************************************** ***COMPUTERS & NETWORKING THE NEW HACKER'S DICTIONARY, also known as THE JARGON FILE edited by Eric S.

Grote, Dept. of Foreign Languages, U. of N. Carolina Professor Grote explains in his Preface: "Wheelock's Latin is now, and probably will be for sometime in the future, the most widely used introductory Latin book used in American colleges and universities. And with good reason. His exclusive emphasis on the details of Latin grammar squares with the general expectation that students acquire a rudimentary, independent reading ability in real Latin after only two semesters of study. Surely Wheelock has its drawbacks and limitations, but it is still the best text around. "A growing difficulty with the book has become apparent in recent years, a problem that is entirely external to the text itself: students are less and less able to understand his explanations of Latin grammar because their grasp of English grammar is becoming more tenuous. This obsolescence hardly comes as a surprise, since the main outlines of Wheelock's grammar were set down in the forties and fifties, when it was safe to assume that college students were well versed in at least the basics of English grammar. We may lament this change, write heated letters to school boards and state legislatures, but all this is of little help when confronted as we are with classrooms filled with beginning Latin students who have never learned the difference between a participle and a pronoun, or who have never heard the word "case" in their lives." He developed and continues to refine these extensive study notes to deal with this problem. CAESAR IN LATIN one disk, over 500 Kbytes Caesar's Gallic Wars, books I-III; plus Rice Holmes' commentary.
