   Earlier this year, a number of  individuals  researching  in
   the area of religious studies  responded to  the idea of
   an address book   which would make accessible the  e-addresses
   of  those who shared common interests. This  searchable
   address book is presently   available as  D.O.O.R.S.;a hyper-
   text  program that runs only on IBM compatible computers
   and  is available  via  FTP from 137.122.6.16 in the
   directory pub/religion as doors1.zip.
 
   The time for updating the address book has come. If you
   are interested in being included  simply e-mail your name,
   institution,and area of interest to the address below. If
   possible please use DOORS as the letter subject. Since Hyper-
   text only complicated things, this version will be available
   in a flat text ( Postscript, WP, Word, Ascii).

Dear list members,
 
I am looking for people who are willing to share/swap machine-readable
sanskrit texts with me.
 
A few words about myself:
 
As of August '92, I am a research fellow at the University of Oslo. I am
trying to localize machine-readable texts, partly  - and preferably - to be
used in my project, partly to be part of an electronic library that I hope
to establish here at our institute. So far, I have received a couple of
texts from the Oxford Text Archive, and I am in the process of downloading
texts from the Liverpool Indology database, as some of may have discovered
due to a mistake of mine.
 
A few words about my project: I have given my thesis the tentative title
"In Search of Discriminators: The Crux of Chronology in Sanskrit
Literature". In other words, I plan a statistical study of the language in
sanskrit (and possibly prakrit and pali) texts to see if syntactic or other
features are distributed differently in texts of different age, and in such
a manner that you can trace a development over the centuries. I start with
texts the relative chronology of which is known, and hope to isolate
features that will enable myself and others to seriate other texts.
Luckily, this kind of problem is not unheard of in statistics - methods
have already been developed, and I have established contact with persons
who - I hope - can guide me throught the maze of problems you encounter in
this kind of work. As for the texts, I concentrate upon narrative prose and
verse.
 
I am of course entering texts myself (I have started with the
Tantrakhyayika, entering the fables), and I am naturally willing to share
my texts with others. I plan to run my files through the TACT Text
Analyser, and the format of my files (and the tags I use) must be
compatible with the functionality of this program. (I therefore create
padapatha-like sanskrit texts where sandhi has been eliminated, and my tags
should preferably be identifyable by TACT as "words", so that the program
will establish the necessary counts and basic statistics).
 
I would also be grateful for information about computer programs relevant
to Indologists (I have already acquired Mr. Emmerick's program), and I
would like to know if others work with statistical methods. Tagging systems
are also of great interest to me.

Vivek, normal professional practice is for the editor of a scholarly
journal to decide to whom to send a book for review.  It isn't the
professors themselves who initiate the reviewing procedure (normally,
that is; of course there are exceptions).  Ask your relative in
Lucknow to get the publisher of his book to send review copies of
the book to the editors of journals in which the publisher wishes
a review to appear.  Again, it is the *publisher* who should do this,
not your relative, although a good publisher will normally ask the
author for a list of journals which would be suitable for review
copies to be sent to.  The review process is between the publisher
and a reviews editor, not between an author and a professor.
 
I hope this helps.  :-)

To all list members!
 
Some days ago I sent you a letter hoping to acquire / swap machine-readable
texts in sanskrit, pali or prakrit with those of you who might be
interested. Just after I sent my letter, something happened to my mail
partition on the Unix disk, and I ended up with a gigantic mail file 12 MB
large, where old and new messages had copied themselves endlessly upon
other messages in such a manner that disentanglement is out of the
question.
 
I must therefore ask those of you - if any!  - who have answered my request
to repeat your answers. I am sorry about this, but it can't be helped.

Indhist (Version 1.0) is a program similar to the UNIX (BSD) fortune
program.  Each time it is invoked it prints a random record from its
database.  Only, its database consists of notes about India from
Classical sources.  I have drawn mainly upon the translations of
Megasthanes and Arrian's works by John W McCrindle.
 
It (The Indhist project), the present version of which only runs under
UNIX, also includes a program to create a named pipe on the filesystem
which seems to have a different content (record) each time it is looked
at.
 
Chris Wooff has kindly consented to make Indhist available as a
UNIX SHAR from the Indology Listserver.  It is stored in Lpunch
format and is ready to go as of now. I hope you enjoy using it.
 
Best wishes,

Megasthanes, in the second book of his Indika, says that when  the Indians
are at supper a  table is placed  before  each  person, this being like  a
tripod.  There is placed upon it a golden  bowl, into which they first put
rice,  boiled as one  would boil barley, and then   they add many dainties
prepared according to Indian receipts.

Well  the   offer  of  a  lifetime  is  available  from  the
University of  Chicago, but my guess is they will be too shy
to publicise  it. They  are raising  money and awareness for
their Preservation  of Major  Indological Series  project by
selling T-shirts! Now to tell you anything about the T-shirt
would spoil  the surprise of what they have done. Suffice it
to say  I think  it is  clever and  will wear mine [received
today] with pride.
 
After checking  on availability  if you  wish to  play safe,
send $8.00 to:
 
Southern Asia Department
University of Chicago Library
1100 East 57th Street
Chicago Illinois 60637
 
Give your postal address and I would guess that if you are
outside of the USA your donation should be higher to cover
international postage. Sizes small, medium, large, extra
large. Cheques payable to: The University of Chicago
Library.
 
If these T-shirts have been around for years, apologies for
my lack of awareness, I am assuming they are still in print
and not yet on a second edition.
 
Anyone who is anyone will be wearing them in San Francisco
this weekend.
 
But watch out, if you go to the India Office Library you
might get reshelved... :-)

Try the following, which MAY work for using email on the internet to
search the INDOLOGY database:
 
========Start of information===========
To:listserv at liverpool.ac.uk
cc:
subject:
------------
// job echo = no
database search dd=rules
//rules dd *
search "ITEM" in DATABASE since BEGINNING DATE to ENDING DATE
========End of needed information========
 
where
     ITEM - is the word or phrase that you want to search for.
     DATABASE - is the data base you wish to search.  In this case
                it is INDOLOGY
     BEGINNING and ENDING DATE - is the time period you wish to search
               in the following format yy/mm/dd
 
NOTE: You do not need the ending date.
 
You may want to add one of the following to the end of the command string.
 
     index - to receive a listing of the messages that your search locates
     list - same as above.
     print ### - to receive a print out of the message.  You must have
            the number of the message you wish to receive.
 
 
I believe these procedures will cause the listserv to send you a
listing of particular postings that contain your keywords, within the
time frame you list. Each posting will have a unique number, which you
can then use to request the full text of that particular posting that
you want. More experienced netters: please post corrections here if I
have incorrectly listed the procedure. Let us know if this works,
since the archive-searching function can be very useful.

Dear Vivek,
 
Welcome to the INDOLOGY discussion group.
 
I'm afraid I didn't see any query about "Vedic" mathematics in the
last few weeks.  But some months back there was an exchange in which
I and Michio Yano posted some literature references to this group.
 
It is possible to get the logs of past INDOLOGY discussions from the
Liverpool listserv.  Start by sending the message "help" to the
address "listserv at liverpool.ac.uk".  The message "index indology"
sent to the same address will return to you a list of all the
documents (including logs) that can be retrieved.  To get a file sent
to you I think you say something like "get filename indology".  I
*believe* there is even a way of having listserv do a subject or
keyword search through the files, but I don't know offhand how to
do that.
 
Best wishes,
 
Dominik
