SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION FOR BOTH ELECTRONIC AND PRINTED ISSUES

SAGAR is published electronically and in hard copy.  An annual subscription
for bound copies is US $25 for individuals and US $30 for institutions;
overseas subscribers should add US $5 per order for shipping.  Please make
checks payable to the Center for Asian Studies.

There are now three ways to receive an electronic version of SAGAR.  First,
you may subscribe by e-mail by sending the following request in the body of
an e-mail message to majordomo at bongo.cc.utexas.edu:

subscribe sagar-journal

The other two ways to receive SAGAR involve the World Wide Web.  SAGAR is
now fully on-line as a WWW document with hyperlinks.  Thus, you make read
the entire journal from any WWW browser.

The URL (address) for SAGAR is:

http://wwwhost.cc.utexas.edu/ftp/pub/das/.html/south.asia/sagar/sagar.main.html

Alternatively, you may download the same electronic version that is sent to
e-mail subscribers directly from the WWW.

The electronic versions are in BinHex 4.0 format and are also compacted in
a self-extracting format.  The uncompacted, unBinHexed document is in RTF
(Rich Text Format), which may be read by most major word processors,
whether PC or Mac based.

To read SAGAR over e-mail, you must be able to download attached files
directly into your computer.  The easiest mail-program for accomplishing
this task is Eudora, which automatically downloads messages and attached
files into the user's computer.  Subscribers using other programs to read
SAGAR should consult with a local computer expert before contacting the
editors.

Once the file is downloaded and unBinHexed, whether by e-mail or WWW, it
will appear as a compacted SEA (self-extracting archive) file.  Simply
double click or open this file and a new, uncompacted file will appear in
the RTF format.  From there, you open this RTF document in your word
processing program where it will be converted into an ordinary
document--printable, changeable, and deletable.

Finally, there is also a discussion group available over e-mail to discuss
articles published and issues raised in SAGAR.  Send the following message
to majordomo at bongo.cc.utexas.edu:

subscribe sagar-journal-discussion

Subject: Past habitual in Tulu and Tibetan

For a dissertation dealing, in part, with the use of a single form for past
habitual and contrafactive statements in the South Asian linguistic area, I'm
looking for information on the grammatical forms used for past habitual
statements (for example, the English statement, 'I used to study Sanskrit') in
Tibetan and Tulu. Any help members of this list could provide would be
appreciated.
