Subject:  Phono (software for historical phonology)
 
 
       I have just released a new version of Phono, a DOS-based
program for constructing models of regular historical sound change.
It can be downloaded from the following site:
 
        http://www.siu.edu/~nmc/phono.html
 
        Phono is accompanied by a model for Spanish, but it can be
used to model sound change for any language, given a set of rules and
a chronological order in which to apply them.
 
        This is Version 3.3.  Those who are familiar with the previous
version will find the following innovations:
 
        1)  Errors in the "Rule Trace" procedure are now corrected.
        2)  "Word Trace" is replaced by a batch mode that records
derivations in a file.
        3) There is now a "prosifier", which can take a line of the
special notation for rules and translate it to a form of English.  (If
only it could translate in the reverse direction!)
 
        I urge researchers in historical phonology to try it out and
let me know the results.

Subject:  FYI: Internet Based Chinese Teaching and Learning
 
A new program of Internet Based Chinese Teaching and Learning has been
just launched at Latrobe University, Bendigo, Australia. This program
is designed to offer a range of Chinese language subjects from
elementary to advanced levels mainly via the Internet. Further
information can be found at:

Dear Netter:
 
The unofficial Chinese linguistics home page on the WWW can now be
found at either of the three sites (please note the new directory name
at our Singapore site):
 
 
In USA:       http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~whu/China/linguist.html
              http://pears.lib.ohio-state.edu/China/linguist.html
 
In Singapore: http://137.132.195.189/China/html/linguist.htm
 
 
We hope this will serve you better and apologise to those of you who were
unable to access the sites during our restructuring.
