DOCUMENTATION

     Several people have asked for a reference on Emmanuel Uren's book.
     Here's the announcement that Emmanuel posted to INSOFT-L in
     September:

     Sender: Emmanuel Uren <76020.155@CompuServe.COM>

     SOFTWARE INTERNATIONALIZATION & LOCALIZATION AN
     INTRODUCTION by Emmanuel Uren, Robert Howard and
     Tiziana Perinotti

     It is published by Van Nostrand Reinhold and its ISBN
     is 0-442-01498-8.   In the States you can order it directly
     from the publisher's warehouse at 1-800-842-3636.  The fax
     number is 1 (606)-525-7778.

     I believe there are discounts on purchases of 10 or more.

     Van Nostrand Reinhold is part of International Thomson
     Publishing which has the following overseas addresses:

ADMINISTRIVIA

     1. An INSOFT-L subscriber informed me that he is receiving
        duplicates of some (many?) messages distributed by our
        listserver.  Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
	
        If "yes," please send a message directly to me
        (jbowyer@cis.vutbr.cz), indicating the degree of the problem.
	
        Thanks.

     2. INSOFT-L is becoming a very active list.  My mailbox (and yours?)
        is inundated with messages awaiting redistribution.

        Here's my basic approach to redistribution:

             -- send 5-6 messages every second day

             -- priority is given to messages that announce a product
                or a conference

             -- aside from product or conference announcements, I try to
                send 3 "old" messages and 3 "new" messages.

                "Old" messages include consolidated answers to a previous
                question or a message that, though relevant, wasn't
                particularly earthshaking.

                "New" messages include previously unasked questions


        I'm a little concerned that INSOFT-L could be doing a better job
        of meeting the needs of its subscribers.  Specifically, some
        people's questions sit in my mailbox for a looooong time before
        they are redistributed.

        If anyone has any suggestions for improving INSOFT-L, please let
        me know.
