If there is some way you can get the list server to save the routing and
headers from these obnoxious spams, I will attempt to contact the system
administrator for the perpetrator's system. Meanwhile, can we set the
server to filter out any message with the heading "GET A WHOLE YEAR FREE!"?

I don't think this works. I tried sending the whole thing back to the site
at the "from" header once before and it bounced with a notice that this was
not a valid internet address. Compuserv announced last week that it would
drop and attempt to brand any perpetrator using that service for spamming.
But unless we know where it's really coming from, I'm not sure that we can
do anything about it.

I need SMK Greek Keys or a SMK Greek font such as Attika or Sparta, so I
can use Perseus on the Web. If these are freely distributable (I'm told
that fonts are not copyrightable, although there appear to be differences
of opinion), I would appreciate a copy. If not, perhaps someone has an
extra set.
Thanks,
Will

I don't know where you got your information, but electronic fonts are
definitely copyrightable and many of them are copyrighted. Programs
like Greek Keys are also copyrightable. Distribution of copyrighted
materials without permission is a criminal offense.
Perhaps some remember when one of Silver Mountain Software's fonts was
posted illegally to this list...
If your concern is using Perseus on the web, I seem to remember a
posting in the not-to-distant past that gave instructions for obtaining
and installing the needed fonts. Perhaps if you check the archive that
James Tauber maintains you will run across the instructions.

I believe that these fonts and the manual that goes with them are
copywrited by Classical Micropublishinig and the AMerican Philological
Association.
You can order SMK Greek Keys from Scholars Press,, c/o Professional Book
Distributors, P.O. Box 6996, Alopharetta, GA 330239-6996. Phone
800-437-6692.
This comes on three diskettes, with a 61 page manual. It includes the Greek
Keys Universal keyboard program to enable you to properly type the fonts.
My memory tells me that it costs about $50.00--though my meory is often
fallible. I do not think one can ethically simply give this to another
person, since it is not shareware.
