It's easy and I can get to other e-mail systems. It also has a forum for indexers. At $9.95 per month for 5 hours and 3.50 per hour after that, it's fairly reasonable. I have a local number to call so there are no additional phone charges. Good Luck.

GEnie is a fairly good service, for sending e-mail to and from other services, such as Internet. It does not provide for uploading and downloading files. GEnie also has many bulletin boards that have interesting discussions, and chat lines. GEnie had a large advantage over other on-line services where I live. It was the only one with a local phone number. GEnie costs $8.95 per month and $3.00 per hour of connection time evenings and weekends. The first four hours are free each month. The connections is quite a bit higher during weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. in the time zone where you join it. The main thing I use it for is access to the two newsgroups on Internet and my bill is averaging about $15.00 per month.

I think it is okay, but it's an expensive habit. Since Compuserve seems to charge for internet messages, and the well only charges online time, it seems like an ok choice. I'm not really fond of the unintuitive interface, having worked in environments with REAL email. Checking into the WELL at least gives you access until you figure out what service you really use a lot.

Marjorie Bank, Managing Editor of Indexing Services at Facts on File, NY, NY, will be our guest speaker. She will be talking about the changing face of publishing: from paper to electronic, and how the Indexer fits into that new world. Although we would like to start promptly at 11 AM, latecomers are always welcome. After the meeting we will be retiring to a local restaurant, "Basha's" for lunch, and we would love to have you join us. The food is excellent and reasonable priced. Please also try to remember bring a SASE for future notifications of meetings. Directions: From Route 590 take Exit 16, and follow the signs to the University of Rochester. Rush Rhees Library is the large dome- shaped building, the dominant rotund shaped edifice on the U of R campus. It looks quite a lot like the US Capitol building. An alternate route to the U of R campus is Elmwood Avenue. Follow Elmwood Avenue west to the first right-hand turn just past the overhead railroad bridge ("University of Rochester" is inscribed across the face of the bridge with maybe little graffiti thrown in for general reading). If you cross the Genesee River, then you have gone too far west. Then take the next right-hand turn and at the "T" junction, take a left and there are 2 parking lots. There is also an information booth, usually occupied, for additional information. I understand that the usual parking restrictions are not in effect on weekends. There is also parking next to the river Upon arrival at Rush Rhees, proceed to the circulation desk, identify yourself as an ASI member, and will by shown the location of Conference Room 236. An RSVP would be most welcome. Please drop me a line, or call and leave a message if I am not here. Patricia A.

Right now I do my indexing with Cindex (on MS-DOS) and they put the information in a FrameMaker file (but it can't be used as a generated file). I hate the so-called "indexing" capability on FrameMaker. I tried using it for a list of names for a conference program. I'm almost ready to send the printed document to printing services dept., but I have to start over with an index of names--ON CINDEX, this time, for the generated index was too big a disaster--it takes to much effort to enter things in those little dialog boxes, and who can remember exactly how it was used the first time? So, if anybody out there knows an answer to this question, I'd appreciate it also. Thanks Paula Presley Assoc.

At the ASI conference in May, it was hoped that a Mac version would be available around Jan. 1. We've budgeted for it at our press. My problem now is that the DOS machine on which I have Cindex installed is having problems (that I don't want to take the time nor spend the money to correct). Most of our work is now done on Macs, so it would be helpful to have a Mac Cindex. I have two huge indexing jobs coming up soon.I wonder--if I start the jobs on DOS, could I transfer them to the Mac version (assuming Jan. is still the target date)? Paula Presley Assoc.

I use it as my primary indexing system. You do need some horsepower on the Mac, like a 68030 (or better) processor (for performance) and 8 meg RAM, but with that configuration CINDEX is quite happy under the DOS 5 emulation software. The people at Indexing Research even have a Mac that they try CINDEX out on using this method.

The 1993 conference will be at Oak Ridge Associated Universities in Pollard Auditorium and associated meeting rooms. As the preliminary program reveals, the 17th annual meeting should be especially exciting. We hope you agree--and that you plan to join us this year for PCOC 17. EARLY CHECK-IN AND RECEPTION The East Tennessee Chapter will host a Wednesday reception at the Garden Plaza Hotel. Drop in anytime between 7 and 9 p.m. and enjoy an informal evening with fellow communicators. REGISTRATION BENEFITS In addition to presentations and workshops, the PCOC 17 registration fee also includes a complimentary copy of the conference proceedings and refreshments at each scheduled break. Full (two-day) registration also includes an invitation to the Friday luncheon at the Garden Plaza Hotel as well as to the Thursday buffet dinner at the hotel; dinner will be followed by an evening at the Oak Ridge Playhouse to enjoy James Yaffe's "Cliffhanger."
