Dear Friends,

First, I must apologise again for not being able to keep up with this
very wonderful list :-)

Questions

1. I've just been putting together a very basic Postscript font for
the traditional Saprutum script but I don't know how to import it
into any other software, this means I can only demonstrate it in
Postscript files. Question -- can any of you read/display/print
Postscript files. Would encapusulate PS (*.eps) help, that is a file
for each page which some graphics packages can read?

2. Among other things, I've been using the Saprutum version of the
"The Dog's Grave" as a test piece, and it got stuck in my mind,
especially after I found a tune that fits. Today I found myself
singing "Kalbum wegannaba baxram ... " out loud on the way back from
the shops. A dead classical language from a place which officially
"isn't there" even in the alternative reality it might come from.
Should this worry me, do I need professional help, or is it perfectly
normal and happens all the time?

Keith
