Subject: ALLC Member Discount for ALLCACH92
There is of course also a 60 dollar or 30 pound discount for
members of the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing
(ALLC) at ALLCACH92.
Membership of the ALLC is by personal subscription to the journal
Literary and Linguistic Computing. Subscription rates for 1992
are 22 pounds for the United Kingdom or $42 for the rest of the world.
Send subscriptions to Oxford Journals, Pinkhill House, Southfield Road,
Eynsham, Oxford OX8 1JJ, England. You can pay by Visa or Mastercharge.
Members of both organizations do not, unfortunately, get double
discount at the conference.

Subject: HUMGRAD list: change of address
HUMGRAD, the UK-based list recently set up for Humanities postgraduates,
will shortly be changing its address. This is due to a re-organization at
Mailbase in Newcastle (the role of Mailbase in the UK is more or less
equivalent to that of Listserv elsewhere).
>From March onwards, the new address of the Mailbase machine is
MAILBASE@MAILBASE.AC.UK. The difference is that Newcastle is no longer
mentioned in the address.
In future to subscribe to HUMGRAD please send the message
SUBSCRIBE HUMGRAD Your Name
to
MAILBASE@MAILBASE.AC.UK
Messages for broadcasting should be sent to HUMGRAD@MAILBASE.AC.UK.
The listowners, Gavin Burnage and Stuart Lee, can be contacted at
GBURNAGE@VAX.OX.AC.UK or STUART@VAX.OX.AC.UK, or via the MAILBASE machine
with the address HUMGRAD-REQUEST@MAILBASE.AC.UK. Mailbase technical staff
can be contacted at MAILBASE-REQUEST@MAILBASE.AC.UK.
Note too that while Mailbase is busy implementing these changes at the end
of February (they're plumbing in all their lists on a new computer), there
will be no Mailbase service. This means that you should wait until
March 1st before trying to subscribe to HUMGRAD or writing to it.
We're sorry this change should have to be made so soon after setting up
and advertising HUMGRAD, but we hope that users old and new will quickly
get used to it. The response to the list so far has been good: there are
well in excess of 100 subscribers already, and on average 10--15 messages
are posted each day on a reasonably broad range of topics. A few have
found the volume of traffic excessive, but most have stayed around
and seem to be enjoying it. So if you haven't done so already, please
could we ask you to tell postgraduates working in the humanities about the
existence of the list.
