This is covering old territory (so far as list members are concerned, but
I just have to say this about Machen (again). For a traditional-type
book, Machen works and I HAVE used it often in the past--but how can
ANYBODY today ask students to buy a textbook sold at such an OBSCENE price?

Subject: Mounce's Flashcard Program at condor.cs.andrews.edu
A few weeks ago, Bill Mounce mentioned that a flashcard program was
available for ftp from condor.cs.andrews.edu
I have been unable to connect to condor.cs.andrews.edu ever since and
I've tried on many different occassions. Does anybody know if there is
another site that would have what Bill's talking about?

James,
It's called "Flash Works" and it is a good program (for the Mac) that is,
in fact, a shell that works with any .text file list of words. Mounce has
supplied text files for Greek (Koine, of course), Hebrew, French and
German, and he has also supplied his own TT fonts for Hebrew and Greek.
It is available for FTP from
sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/app/flash-works ... You might find it
easier to get it from our mirror here at Washington U., where you can get
it by WWW using Lynx. On the other hand, I have it handy, and can send it
to you in .hqx form, if you'd like, and if you do, as I think I recall,
use a Mac.

Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to make Hebrew and Greek
flashcards, i.e. that will give me scalable Hebrew and Greek fonts?

Subject: Many Thanks for the insights
I wish to say "THANK YOU" to all of you who gave me added insights into the
pursuit of doctoral studies. I learned the the road is a bit longer and more
difficult than what I had thought it would be. Then, too, there's that pesky
problem of finding a job after all the thousands of $$ are spent. I'll
respond to some of you in private e-mail.
Again, thanks

This program is only for the MAC, there's no PC version? Bummer. Glad I
haven't tried downloading it, though I was planning on it.

Subject: Verbs and Participles
Stanley Porter suggests that the time relation between the participle and
main verb can be signaled by their relative positions: i.e., a participle
before the verb indicates antecedent time, while a participle after the
verb indicates subsequent time. I wonder if anyone else has verified
this observation?

The program is available in Mac, Dos and Windows versions. Bill's parsing
program as far as I know is only available in Mac format. If you are using
the textbook in class, contact Zondervan academic division (Jack Kraght) and
they will get you copies. Mounce's policy is that anyone purchacing the
grammar is automatically licenced to use the software.
