Subject: Re: 5.0114 TEI-aware Software?
Maurizio Lana asks for existing software to verify TEI-format texts
(Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 5, No. 0114. Tuesday, 4 Jun 1991).
Any SGML-conformant software can be used to check almost all aspects
of TEI conformance (all except those which require human judgement
to check); existing SGML products include parsers from (in alphabetical
order, and off the top of my head):
Datalogics
Electronic Book Technologies
SEMA Group
Softquad
Software Exoterica
There is an extensive literature on the current SGML marketplace which
I won't attempt to summarize here.
At the moment, the only off-the-shelf software to verify TEI texts is
such SGML-conformant software; it is possible that in the future,
software may be developed specifically for TEI verification, rather than
for SGML in general. That, of course, depends on the developers.

In response to Alan Bulley's query, there is a node at Sheffield named

You should be able to reach the postmaster there by writing to:

Subject: NeXT
It seems the amicable dispute between John Baima and me over the NeXT
comes down to one issue: Are you planning on using it as a personal
workstation, or are you planning on using it for teaching/applications/
commercial development? I'd guess that most users here aren't going
to be developing their own applications, and so I'd have to acquiesce
to John: Don't buy a NeXT until you see more commercial software ap-
pear.
The machine certainly has potential, though. For what I do, they are
as good as any other medium-range workstation.

Subject: Amstrads revisited
With reference to both Timothy Reuter and Graham white.
I was very interested to read Timothy Reuter's response which I came across
at the same time as Graham White's enquiry. (backlog of mail-you know how it is)
There is a large userbase of amstrad PCW machines in the UK but I do not
think many are used for comms. What I can tell you is
1. You must have an rs232 interface fitted and they do cost about
fifty pound sterling here.
2. You need comms software
Sage Software market a package called chit chat which we have used;
this is available in a CPM version. Actually we can supply copies
of this at low price (good news) but this is because people have
found pcw's difficult to use for comms (bad news)
If anyone is interested this department can supply sage chit chat
for PCW machines at 25 pounds a copy. Email me if you want more info.

Subject: FTP for the VMS
The problems with FTP for the VAX/VMS that you are experiencing
may be due to one of the following:
GET doesn't work sometimes in the lower case because FTP is
case sensitive. If the filename if FredDDy then you have to say:
GET FredDDy
CD doesn't work. To move UP in the directory structure, you
will have to issue the command
cd ..
including the space between the cd and the ..
