Ric: I need an address to send to; I'd also appreciate some small help with xerox/postage; would $5 seem too much? Leave me a reply email or call: Terry Brogan Leximetrics 219-232-0820 (voiice/fax autoswitched) I need two or three days to get round to the xerox machine (other machines currently…
#Compression algorithm
Message #49586
Jerry: A couple of days ago you mentioned in a message thread the recent appearance of a reliable compression algorithm; did CD Solutions produce this? What's it called? Inf? Interested to hear. . . . thanks.
#Authoring: Seybold
Message #49585
A week or two ago someone posted a query here for a recent issue of the Seybold Report which reviewed hypertext and CD-ROM authoring and retrieval packages. About the time I realized that I already had this issue, my WinCIM crashed and burned, taking my whole message base with it.…
#Notebook, Plug-n-Play CD
Message #49314
I have a client who wants a CD-ROM drive in a notebook, or else an external drive that could be plugged into a notebook, presumably via a serial or parallel port pass-through. I seem to remember seeing one notebook with a built-in CD drive advertised a while back in CD…
#CDR transfer rates
Message #48118
Does anyone have reliable information on hard-disk transfer speeds required for CD Recorders? Some time ago I heard a figure of about 300K per sec., but a thread I read last week says 1 MB / sec. I notice that fast SCSI-2 hard disks in the 1 GIG range put…
#conversation
Message #48117
Katherine: You may recall that I wanted to chat again: I now have a little list of queries about the One-Off Shop. . . . I still have the ten pages of faxes which you sent me, yes, and yes, have even read them. When would be a good time–day?…
#Pinnacle CD_ROM recorder
Message #46585
The list price on Pinnacle's RCD last time I looked was about $4100; is that your price? What ver. no. of their software are they in now?
Send me a copy, please: we are a traditional electronic publisher moving into CDROM in order to produce more substantive texts than 99% of those presently available on cd-rom–i.e. reference works and art books. Terry Brogan Leximetrics 1232 Oakland, Suite 3 South Bend, IN 46615 Thanks.
#Caddies
Message #46578
Most of the prices i see for caddies run in the $14 range, which seems to me absurd. SOmebody mentioned here in a thread last week a price in the $5 range, and in the meantime I found some ads in that range, but they all required purchase in bulk…
I know a World Font, which is pretty regularly advertised in the back pages of PC Mag; it has only one font, but will deliver the correct characters for several dozen languages.
Katherine: All pages received, fine. FWIW, your production and replication prices strike me as very reasonable–lower than most, even, perhaps, though Sony is presently offering a one-time deal that's prob a loss leader. It's the search and retrieval software that's the problem. I just got the whole inf. kit from…
#reply and queries
Message #43887
Kathy: Many thanks, many thanks. Due to memory overflow on my end, I received o only six of your ten total pages; when you have the time and it isn't trouble, i'd be grateful for the last four. The last page I rec'd was "Books About…" Any chance I could…
#fax
Message #43878
Kathy: I think I saw a note from you on maybe SUnday night that said you intended to fax me some things Monday; if you didn't get round to that yet, IT'S FINE; just consider this a polite query to ignore. If you did, it didn't arrive, however; if you…
Thanks for the info; end of March is, sigh, just about here. Do you happen to know if they intend to market it as a standalone package or as an upgrade? I'm looking for retrieval software (correction: retrieval software without huge upfront fees and usorious royalty fees) for a project.
#info
Message #43641
Katherine: could you fax me information on your services and prices? My company does electronic publishing and data conversion work, and they're making noises about moving me to Knoxville this summer; where is MidSouth?? My coompany: Leximetrics; the fax number: 219-232-0820
#MS Multimedia Viewer
Message #43640
Rich: Having just written a message to you, I realized that (a) I'd mistyped your name and needed to apologize–wholly unintended–and (b) wanted to ask yet another question: do you happen to know when MicroSoft will be shipping Multimedia Viewer ver. 2.0?
Retrieval software
Message #43637
I tried to reach you earlier this week by phone, but your schedule seemed to be about as busy as mine is. So I'll upload this message, which I think will get quicker results. I want to ask for some information about cd-rom retrieval and indexing software. First, the background.…
