Subject: Double-column footnotes in Ventura Publisher

Does anyone know of a way to produce footnotes in two columns to a single-
column text using VP (version 3 or 4) for Windows? I am trying to
emulate some already published volumes in a series that has to change
to DTP. If the above is not possible, does anyone know of a package
which could manage it (apart from TeX which I imagine could do the job
with a lot of tweaking)? (The footnotes in question are really variant
readings to a verse text.)

Any suggestions, however laborious, gratefully received!
Thanks, Andrew Hawke

Subject: Tamil and Sanskrit

A colleague of mine is looking for downloadable Sanskrit and Tamil
fonts for use with WordPerfect 5.1 (tm) and the Hewlett Packard LaserJet
III (tm). Can anyone recommend a commercial package, or has someone
developed their own?

If the question has been discussed before, I apologize for not
paying attention. In that case, please contact me rather than HUMANIST.

Subject: austrian architecture

I would appreciate help with the following, admittedly arcane, problem
in information retrieval...

An architecture student is attempting to track down a "grossly over-
proportioned" Christ/crucifix, a sculpture by J. Abelhard, in an
interior hall in St. Benedicts College, in Salzburg, Austria. He believes
the architect responsible for the building in which the sculpture is
housed is Peter Behrens. The sculpture is impressive because of its
oversized character -- it fills the room it is in, and almost appears
to rush the viewer like a crouching lion. (Spooky!)

For all the exact details he recalls -- we can find no references to
this sculpture in any of our (considerable) architectural references.
Can anyone out there help -- perhaps with an e-mail contact in Salzburg,
or a surface mail address for St. Benedicts, or other suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,

Does anyone know of MacIntosh-based drills to accompany the JACT first-year
Ancient Greek Course based on their _Reading Greek_ text?
