I'm working with Ruth King, a Linguistics Prof here at York University
on a sociolinguistic study of PEI Acadian.  We are looking around for
a package (the less expensive the better) that will help manage
phonetically transcribed text.  Here's what we're looking for:

---A text-editing/wp package that handles the standard IPA
(International Phonetics Association) Alphabet, complete with the
standard diacritical marks.

---Good quality/readability on screen and dot-matrix printer

---Quick set up, easy to learn, and a reasonable run speed

---As inexpensive as possible (PD/Shareware would be very nice!)

---It should run on a Zenith pc (we're not interested in Mac software)

Please mail advice, recommendations, horror stories, etc., to
either/both of the addresses below (I will summarize and post if there
is interest).  Thanks very much,

			Steven
