+\Section{Editorial}
+
+The last issue of the year! This issue of \ttn\ brings you lots of
+news about \TeX\ and \tug. You'll find all the regular features, each
+one with some new little gems to learn about: some new books from some
+well-known figures from \dante\ are now available, and we have a list
+of books in Russian! Jeremy's got a nice bunch of items in his column,
+``Hey --- it works!'', including something I can hardly wait to try
+out: ``Self-expanding acronyms''. The issue has a full load of reports
+on meetings (pp.~15--18), and some important news from the annual
+\tug\ meeting this past summer (pp.~21--23). On pp.~19--20 you'll find
+information on the upcoming spring elections: five positions on the
+board, and the position of president. And just before you get to the
+annual index (pp.~27--28), Andrew's provided us with some more fun and
+games on p.~26, to close out the year.
+
+I would like to thank Michel Goossens and Peter Flynn for their
+additional assistance in getting this issue together. The delays,
+however, are entirely my responsibility --- too many promises made on
+too many fronts.
+
+\medskip
+
+\noindent Nothing like finishing the year with a big {\em mea
+culpa\/}! In the July issue of \ttn, I put in a last-minute filler on
+using \verb|\small| for acronyms and other all-caps items. Well, I
+blew it from start to finish, and must apologise profusely to both
+Phil Taylor and Barbara Beeton. See the correction notice on p.~11.

+graciously agreed to carry \ttn\ onwards. While I have developed a
+great affection for \ttn\ after three years and change, it's time for
+me to move on to other areas of interest. And for \ttn, it's time for
+our little newsletter to shake itself a bit, and look out at the \TeX\
+landscape with new interest and energy. I would like to thank everyone
+who has contributed to the first three years; and I would like to
+encourage even more people to join me in helping Peter take \ttn\
+forward for many more years.\footnote[1]{See also Peter's column,

+\subsection*{The name of the beast}
+
+Phil Taylor has quite correctly pointed out that the apostrophe in the
+title of this column has been misplaced: there is more than one
+typographer in the \TeX\ community\dots although I had always thought
+of the name more in terms of a pub sign like the ``Typographer's
+Arms'', which would be singular.
+
+Phil suggests that ``inadequate proof reading is at least as universal
+[as sloppy typography], and frequently even more disturbing'' and he's
+quite right: I sometimes suspect some publishers of having given up on
+proof reading altogether.
+
+
+\subsection*{Paper sizes}
+
+Meanwhile, over on the {\tt typo-l} mailing list, there's been a long
+debate about the \ae sthetics of paper sizes. Most {\sc dtp} is
+centred around either US ``letter'' paper ($8\frac12''\times10''$) or
+ISO A4 (210mm$\times$297mm), and neither seems to be entirely popular.
+
+The ``advantage'' claimed for the A~series was that their proportions
+allow you to scale a document by halving or doubling the paper size to
+get to the next one in the series (so A5 is 148mm$\times$210mm and A3
+is 297mm$\times$420mm). This has often struck me as spurious, as when
+I want to produce a bigger or smaller version of something, I usually
+redesign it to fit, rather than just expanding or contracting it.
+
+Several people voiced their support for US letter size, and Stephen
+Harker from Monash University in Oz looked up Tschichold's ``golden
+section'' values and found that this gave a page 26mm {\em narrower}
+than A4 (which in turn is narrower than US letter). Gunnar Swanson in
+Venice, CA, pointed out that ``ugly'' {\em vs.}\ ``pleasing'' is not
+the issue: it has more to do with how close a sheet is to an ideal,
+with the bothersome sizes being those that are just a little bit off
+the ideal, rather than those which are far from it. Mike Sofka from
+Champaign, IL, recalled a study where subjects chose their most
+pleasing rectangle, and these all came out to be wider than ``golden
+section'' shapes.
+
+I'd be interested to know what people are actually doing about paper
+sizes: are we now so stuck into ``standards'' that we only produce for
+A4 or US letter, or are there still people out there using Bag Cap?
+
+
+\subsection*{Boxed keycaps}
+
+The problem I posed earlier this year about getting the keycap macro
+to steer clear of messing up the interline spacing drew some
+interesting comments. Walter Steuber of Springfield, Pennsylvania,
+pointed out that you can get around the problem by changing the source
+code for {\tt lcircle.mf} to build corner curves in the same style as
+the others, but without the extra space. His alternative was to use
+\verb|\small| to smash the whitespace. Walter's revised {\tt
+keycap.tex} is in \verb|ftp://www.ucc.ie/pub/tex|
+
+
+\subsection*{\LaTeX\ blues}
+
+As a hardened plain-\TeX\ user, I have resisted with ease the
+temptation to do much in \LaTeX, mainly because the abysmal default
+styles were highly resistant to change, and any attempt at
+redefinition usually resulted in spectacular crashes. Michel Goossens
+and Sebastian Rahtz are responsible for persuading me that \LaTeX2e\
+makes it easier, and despite some unpleasant hiccups, I think they are
+right. Most of my attempts have been for users who need to match a
+publisher's spec for a book or an article: does anyone have style
+files which parameterise all those things which you need for this
+task? like the exact size and alignment of the title, author and
+affiliation, the space between them, the running headlines and
+footlines etc, none of which get much mention in the literature.
+
+
+\subsection*{Movin' on}
+
+From January 1995, I shall be taking over the editorial reins of \ttn\
+from Christina Thiele. She has been saying for a while that she would
+bow out after three years, and I think she has done a wonderful job in
+that time. I just hope that I can be possessed of as good a sense of
+humour and as good an eye for typos.\footnote[1]{Except my own typos!
+--Ch.}
+
+When the editorship and future plans were discussed at the Santa
+Barbara \tug\ meeting this summer, we decided to expand \ttn\ and look
+again at the business of portability. Currently, everything published
+in \ttn\ is in \LaTeX\ and uses Computer Modern, so the file copies on
+the \ctan\ can be downloaded and processed by anyone running \TeX,
+with no special requirements. I'm not making any change to that format
+for the copies kept on the archive, but I'd be interested in your
+views as readers about what you'd like \ttn\ to look like. There have
+also been suggestions about changing the name and I'd like to know
+what you think about that also.

+
+At the recent Euro\TeX'94 meeting in Gda\'nsk, Irina Makhovaya of
+CyrTUG brought along several samples of recent publications in Russian
+on \TeX. It seemed an excellent opportunity to gather that information
+and present it here in \ttn. Thanks to both Irina and Michel Goossens,
+who worked to put it together.

+\squashedsubsection{This is a better solution to the problem of\\addresses in headings}
+ {Michael Barr\\McGill University\\\tt barr@math.mcgill.ca}
+
+Michael Barr observed that my approach did not allow the title to
+extend to more than one line. He suggested, in effect, placing
+argument \verb"#1" in a tabular, just as I did with \verb"#2"; thus,
+the line containing \verb"#1" in my definition should be replaced by
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \rlap{%
+ \begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l}
+ #1% subsection title
+ \end{tabular}}%
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+Then the first argument can contain occurrences of \verb"\\". The
+above title was generated by
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\squashedsubsection{This is a better solution to the problem of\\
+ addresses in headings}
+ {Michael Barr\\McGill University\\\tt barr@math.mcgill.ca}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+It is not clear whether the author's name and address is better
+aligned with the {\em first\/} or the {\em last\/} line of the title;
+the latter takes more space, but avoids having different baselines on
+the left and right of the page. This latter behaviour can be obtained
+by replacing the \verb"[t]" within the \verb"\rlap" by \verb"[b]".

+This has the advantage of letting \TeX{} make the line breaks in the

+\squashedsubsection{Under- and over-brackets and parentheses}
+ {Michael Barr \\
+ McGill University, Canada \\
+ \tt barr@triples.Math.McGill.CA}
+
+A couple years ago, a question was posted on \verb"comp.text.tex"
+about how to make under- and over- square brackets and parentheses
+similar to under and over braces. It proved quite easy to modify those
+macros; in one way, it was easier, since you do not need center
+pieces. The curly parts for the braces can be used for the
+parentheses, but you have to manufacture with rules the end pieces for
+the brackets, since they are not provided in the standard fonts. Here
+is the result, in a form that I have tested in both \LaTeX{} and
+plain~\TeX. The results look a bit thick, but are exactly the same
+thickness as with the braces.
+
+The code
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+$$ \overbrack{x+\cdots+x}^{k\rm\;times} \qquad
+ \underbrack{x+y+z}_{>\,0} \qquad
+ \overparen{x+\cdots+x}^{k\rm\;times} \qquad

+ {John V. Langer \\
+ The Aerospace Corporation, California \\
+ \tt langer@aero.org}
+
+We compose technical documents that employ a large number of acronyms.
+It is considered good form to explain the meaning of a given acronym
+the first time it is used, then use the acronym without explanation
+thereafter. With the marvels of electronic editing, paragraphs and
+sections get moved around quickly making it easy to inadvertently have
+an acronym employed before its definition is provided. A secondary
+hazard is that one may, by accident or habit, wind up explaining the
+acronym every time it is used, causing considerable annoyance to the
+reader. To get around this, we came up with the following very simple
+\LaTeX\ macro, best illustrated via example:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\gps}
+ {Global Positioning System (GPS)\renewcommand{\gps}{GPS}}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+This creates a macro called \verb"\gps" that will produce the lengthy
+explanation the first time it is used and the shorter acronym in every
+subsequent use. For example,
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+The \gps\ system is an extension of concepts first investigated
+in the late 1960's, when \ldots. By late 1979, four Block I
+\gps\ satellites had been deployed, and in 1993 a full
+\gps\ constellation was deployed.

+
+\Section{Corrigendum}
+
+In the last issue of \ttn, I had some space left over, so I thought I'd
+pass on a very small tip (\ttn\ 3,3:7). Unfortunately, as a
+last-minute add-on, I didn't bother to find someone to check what I'd
+written. Big mistake.
+
+So if you'll go look at your previous issue, you will see that the
+second \verb|\newcommand| instructs you to define a macro \verb|\tt|.
+Well, if you do that, \LaTeX\ will come back with the remark \verb|!
+Command name 'tt' already used.|. it should of course have been
+\verb|\ttn|. A silly typo.\footnote[1]{I have committed better. When
+we were working on the WSUIPA fonts, we were following Pullum and
+Ladusaw's {\sl Phonetic Symbol Guide\/} for macro names. One
+well-known symbol is the superscripted dotless question mark,
+signifying an ``ejective''. In the interests of shortening some of
+these control sequences, I simply used \verb|\eject|. I think it was
+there for almost two weeks before I ran across it and froze! Now
+wouldn't that have made an interesting bit of phonetic transcription
+--- a few characters and then a page break, then a few more characters
+and then another new page \dots~!}
+
+But my fingers were not content to stop there; they then proceeded to
+put in a spacefactor of 10000, when it should only have been 1000. But
+I'll let Phil explain what this is all about, after I extend my
+apologies to him --- and to Barbara -- for having made such a mess of
+such a simple item. Here's Phil's letter to the (chagrined) editor:
+
+\begin{quote}
+ \dots\ And whilst it is very kind of Barbara to credit me with
+ having first reported this as an error in the canonical definition
+ of \TeX, I would with the greatest respect add that in the original
+ bug report the suggested enhancement was of the form
+%
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ ... \spacefactor = 1000 }
+ \end{verbatim}
+%
+ The initial two spaces and assignment operator are undoubtedly
+ optional, but their omission renders the code impenetrable if not
+ completely opaque; the third space is absolutely vital to prevent a
+ following $<$digit$>$ from becoming elided with the previous
+ $<$number$>$. So whilst I am honoured to be acknowledged as the
+ identifier of that particular bug, I would not want to be blamed
+ for recommending such a cryptic and inadequate remedy. \\

+
+When the \ntg\ supported the production of 600~copies of the 4allTeX
+{\small CD-ROM}, they expected this stock to last for a while, as it
+was much more than needed to provide \ntg\ members with this ``plug
+and play'' engine. Nevertheless, the tiny \ntg\ organisation has
+become almost overheated with sudden world-wide success: on average,
+every half hour one copy was ordered, and now users are located in
+more than 17~countries. Soon, obligations to partners who'd agreed to
+order larger quantities made a second edition necessary.
+
+This edition is largely identical, but refined in detail. Wietse Dol
+and Erik Frambach invested yet more time and energy in providing this
+typesetting beast with still more attractive features. Of course, the
+patch level~3 of \LaTeXe\ is available, and source code of several
+utilities is now added to fill the CD to near its limit.
+
+And careful examination will find some hidden gems. I myself was {\em
+very\/} pleased to discover a truly ``undocumented feature'' which
+enables the user to fully use fonts available on cheap media like the
+old CorelDraw! v3 CD that I legitimately use (others may have
+different sources). With a simple selection in the {\tt makefont\/}
+utility menu, 4all\TeX\ readily eats the {\tt .afm} and {\tt .pfb}
+files and converts the fonts for use in \TeX\ documents. What's more,
+it completely updates all those nasty font mapping files that must be
+fine-tuned to get the device drivers and GhostScript to work
+congruently. Computer Modern is fine, but I don't mind a few hundred
+alternatives!

+
+Michel Goossens, TUG's vice president, has been very fortunate this
+year in being able to attend a number of \TeX\ conferences. He has
+written extensive summaries and has made them available via \ctan, in
+{\tt tex-archive/usergrps/info}. The following extracts give just a
+hint of the flavour of three of these: \tug's annual meeting in Santa
+Barbara (July), \Cyrtug's meeting in Dubna (early September), and the
+Euro\TeX\ meeting in Gda\'nsk (late September). --Ed.
+
+
+\subsection*{TUG'94 --- July 31--Aug.\ 4}
+
+Santa Barbara: just the right combination of sunshine, temperature and
+sea breeze. Some 120 \TeX{} enthusiasts, coming from many countries
+and cultures, met to talk about and listen to presentations of the
+latest developments in the area of high-quality typesetting --- and of
+course to talk with one another.
+
+The formal theme of the conference was ``Innovation''. Malcolm Clark
+and Sebastian Rahtz brought together a tremendous program that clearly
+showed \TeX{} making inroads in many areas of book production, such as
+colour support, more flexible page layouts, scholarly and non-Latin
+alphabet editions. A number of groups are working on extending \TeX{}
+or \LaTeX{} so that these tools better meet the demands of current
+document handling and integrated more readily into electronic
+distribution networks or databases. Several new approaches introduced
+object-oriented programming techniques, and hence show that \TeX{}
+forms an integral part of a modern computing development environment.
+
+Over 35 papers were presented, loosely grouped under such themes as
+Publishing, Languages, Literature and Fonts; Colour and \LaTeX; Tools;
+Futures; and Publishing and Design. The full story can be found in the
+Proceedings issue of {\sl TUGboat\/}. In addition to all these formal
+sessions, there were several highly successful Birds-of-a-Feather
+(BoF) gatherings each day, some even running in parallel.
+
+As well as providing formal presentations, the conference organisers
+also allowed for ample opportunities to talk informally, without
+reference to glue, (coloured) boxes or other \TeX-speak: the Monday
+evening barbuecue, the Tuesday afternoon left free for touring
+downtown Santa Barbara (the campus is on the edge of town) or taking
+in a boat cruise along the coast, and finally the Wednesday evening
+banquet, which brought everyone together with their families to
+socialize, and enjoy the good food, wine, and music.
+
+On Wednesday, the \tug\ business meeting went on for longer than
+expected, as decisions taken by the Board of Directors for the coming
+year were presented, explained, and discussed. These decisions are
+presented elsewhere in this issue. The Knuth Scholar was also
+announced: Shelly Lee Ames of the University of Manitoba, where she
+works for the Canadian Mathematical Society (Soci\'et\'e
+math\'ematique du Canada).
+
+The conference was brought to a close by Christina Thiele, but not
+before Mimi Burbank, coordinator of next year's \tug\ meeting, gave us
+a short outline of plans for the 1995 meeting in Florida. It was also
+the occasion to honour the winners of the trophies for the best
+papers, namely Alan Hoenig, Yannis Haralambous and Tom Rokicki. We
+thank Nelson Beebe, who kindly donated the prizes.
+
+Special thanks are for their hard work are extended to John Berlin and
+Janet Sullivan of the \tug\ office. Their kindness and helpfulness
+were truly appreciated by all those present. Thanks once again to
+John, and to Malcolm Clark, co-editors of {\sl The Tugly Telegraph\/};
+and to Katherine Butterfield, Suki Bhurgi, and Wendy McKay for helping
+with staffing the on-campus \tug\ office.
+
+The organizers would like to publicly acknowledge the contributions
+made by individuals, other user groups, and companies towards the
+Bursary and Social Funds or who offered free copies of books or
+software to the participants. In particular we would like to thank
+\dante\ e.V., \GUTenberg, {\small UKTUG}, and \tug\, as well as
+Addison-Wesley, O'Reilly \& Associates, and Prime Time Freeware.
+
+Finally, we would would like to mention the vendors: Addison-Wesley,
+Blue Sky Research, Kinch Computer Co., Micro Programs, Inc., Quixote
+Digital Typo\-graphy, Springer Verlag, and Y\&Y, who by their
+continuing support contribute to the success of the Annual \tug\
+Conferences.

+
+\subsection*{CyrTUG'94 --- Sept.\ 7--11}
+
+It had been almost five years since I was last in the capital of
+Russia, and indeed a lot seemed to have changed during that
+period. \Cyrtug's Executive Director, Irina Makhovaya, met me at
+Shere\-me\-tievo airport, and for the next few days, was my gracious
+host in Moscow. On Tuesday we all headed out for Dubna, some 120 km
+north of Moscow, and on Wednesday the conference began.
+
+After the official opening, the scientific secretary of the Institute
+at Dubna explained the importance of \TeX{} to the scientists in Dubna
+as a means of communicating their results to the outside world. I
+spoke a few words on behalf of \tug, congratulating \Cyrtug{} with the
+organisation of their conference, and then gave a summary of the
+presentations made at the \tug'94 conference in Santa Barbara in the
+summer.
+
+Over the next three days, speakers talked about their experiences with
+introducing and developing \TeX{} tools in their respective
+institutes; the particular problems associated with the Cyrillic
+alphabet and the design of Cyrillic fonts; the use of PostScript and
+vector fonts; {\small WYSIWYG} approaches; graphics; journal
+production; and issues of typography. The issue of dealing with
+various coding-schemes currently in use for the Cyrillic alphabet led
+to the formation of a three-member working group to come up with a
+proposal to define a ``\Cyrtug{} standard encoding''. The
+presentations came to an end with a question-and-answer session.
+
+In the Friday evening, there was a grand banquet, and after the ritual
+series of toasts to a better future, friendship, more \TeX{} and less
+approximate typography~\ldots~, we went all onto the dance floor and
+to the tune of some typical (and some less-than-typical) modern
+Russian tunes, transformed ourselves into \TeX{} rockers till the
+music stopped at 11 o'clock and we all dispersed into subgroups to
+continue our last evening together or, too tired to do anything
+useful, just went to bed.
+
+The Saturday morning started with my \LaTeXe{} course that lasted to
+approximately midday, when \Cyrtug's business meeting started. Evgeniy
+Pankratiev (Moscow State University) was elected as new President of
+\Cyrtug, succeeding Joseph Romanovsky of Sankt Petersburg. With the
+new President in the chairman's seat the meeting then adopted the plan
+for 1994/95 and declared the 1994 Conference closed, thanking the
+participants for their support.
+
+During the flight back to Geneva, I reflected on my six-day stay in
+Russia. I have visited Russia many times before, but things seem
+different now, there is hope, people talk freely, they all feel they
+are moving towards a better future, also financially, yet I think they
+still have a long way to go. And it is precisely here that it should
+be possible for us to help our colleagues and friends: e.g., develop
+tools that are freely available, exchange publications, and so on.
+
+
+\subsection*{Euro\TeX'94 ---Sept.\ 26--30}
+
+The conference took place in the Orle holiday center in Sobieszewo, a
+resort on the Baltic some 20 km east of the city of Gda\'nsk --- and
+only 100 m from the beach! {\small GUST}, the organizing committee for
+the conference, provided a fully-equipped ``mini-office'' to
+facilitate software and information exchange.
+
+Monday was given over to registration in the morning, and a bus tour
+in the afternoon. About 60 participants from 15 different countries
+attended; each person received a copy of the Proceedings (thanks to
+the hard work of Tomek Przechlewski and W{\l}odek Bzyl), an extremely
+useful typographic ruler, and the tradional mug, with the
+specially-designed Euro\TeX94 logo. Very nice stylistic work, indeed!
+The guided tour of Gda\'nsk showed us a city of some 400,000
+inhabitants with a proud cultural history and a promising future.
+
+The conference formally got underway on Tuesday with welcoming
+speeches by the organisers, and then the papers began. There is
+insufficient space here to do justice to all the presentations, so I
+would urge you to pick up the full report ({\tt eurotex94.tex}) from
+\ctan. Nevertheless, I would at least like to mention the names of the
+presenters who brought us such a rich diversity of subject material to
+enjoy: Vladimir Batagelj, Lutz Birkhahn, Johannes Braams, Wietse Dol
+and Erik Frambach, Yannis Haralambous, Karel Hor\'ak, Bogus\l{}aw
+Jackowski and Marek Ry\'cko (awarded the {\em Best Paper\/} prize),
+J\"org Knappen, Kees van der Laan, Dag Langmyhr, Klaus Lagally, Olga
+Lapko, Marion Neubauer, \'Eric Picheral, Sebastian Rahtz, Bernd
+Raichle, Peter Sojka, Friedhelm Sowa, Philip Taylor, Ji\v r\'\i\
+Zlatu\v{s}ka, and myself. In addition to the papers, Philip Taylor
+and the $\varepsilon$\TeX{} and {\small NTS} team gave an overview of
+the present status of these two projects.
+
+The traditional Euro\TeX{} banquet was a great success, with a lot of
+atmosphere, champagne, wine, plenty of beer, good food, guitar playing
+and singing by several of the participants.
+
+The conference was closed by W{\l}odek Bzyl and Philip Taylor of the
+Organizing Committee, who announced the winners of the Best Paper
+contest (see above), and the location for next year's Euro\TeX\
+conference: somewhere in the Netherlands. Several tutorials were also
+held during the weekend, including a marathon 20 hours on advanced
+\TeX\ macro writing.
+
+Yes, it was a good conference, and quite different from the 1994 \TUG\
+annual meeting, whose theme was ``innovation''. In Gda\'nsk, more
+attention was given to practical issues of typesetting in multiple
+languages and working with cheap printers and machines (hyphenation,
+the use of \MF{}, {\small MS-DOS} related developments). I can only
+congratulate the local organizers, especially W{\l}odek Bzyl and Tomek
+Przechlewski, for their nice work.\footnote[1]{A copy of the 200-page

+\Section{1995 \TeX{} Users Group Election}
+
+The terms of the \tug\ President and of 5 members of the Board of
+Directors will expire as of the 1995 Annual Business Meeting, which
+will take place in conjunction with the 16th Annual Meeting in July
+1995. The directors whose terms expire in 1995 are Barbara Beeton,
+Michael Doob, Michel Goossens, and Tom Rokicki; a shortfall in the
+number of nominees in the last election left one position unfilled.
+The election to choose the new President and Board members will be
+held next Spring, and nominations are invited.
+
+The Bylaws provide that ``Any member may be nominated for election to
+the office of \tug\ President/to the Board by submitting a nomination
+petition in accordance with the \tug\ Election Procedures. Election
+$\ldots$ shall be by written mail ballot of the entire membership,
+carried out in accordance with those same Procedures.'' The term of
+office of the President is two (2) years, and of a director, three (3)
+years. Incumbent officers may be nominated for successive terms.
+
+The name of any member may be placed in nomination for election to one
+of these offices by submission of a petition, signed by two other
+current (1994 or 1995) members, to the \tug\ office at least 30 days
+prior to the mailing of ballots. (A candidate's membership dues for
+1995 will be expected to be paid by the nomination deadline.) A
+petition form follows this announcement; forms may also be obtained
+from the \tug\ office, and electronically from the {\tt usergrps/tug}
+area of {\small CTAN}.
+
+Along with a petition form, each candidate is asked to supply a
+passport-size photograph, a short biography, and a statement of intent
+to be included with the ballot; the biography and statement of intent
+together may not exceed 400 words.
+
+The deadline for receipt at the \tug\ office of petitions and ballot
+information is {\bf February 1, 1995}.
+
+Ballots will be mailed to all members early in March. Marked ballots
+must be postmarked no later than {\bf May 9}, and received no later
+than {\bf May 23}. These deadlines will be noted on the ballots.
+
+Ballots will be counted by a disinterested party not part of the \tug\
+organization. The results of the election should be available by the
+end of May, and will be announced in a future issue of this
+publication as well as through variuos \TeX-related electronic lists.

+
+\noindent The Board of Directors that you elect meets every year
+before and during the Annual Meeting to discuss and decide matters of
+policy. Board Meetings are open to all \tug\ members as observers, but
+only the Directors can speak or vote.
+
+The last few years have been a mixture of difficult and productive
+times for \tug. The Board is grateful for the services of its members,
+the \tug\ office staff and the many volunteers who have worked hard
+and long to promote the use and development of \TeX\ and its
+associated applications.
+
+The main topics discussed at this year's meeting are summarised below.
+
+
+\subsection*{Services to TUG members and to the \TeX\ community}
+
+The \tug\ office completed its first full year in the new location,
+Santa Barbara. The move from Providence had been difficult, but the
+Executive Director, Pat Monohon, said the new office was now providing
+worldwide support 3\thinspace am--7\thinspace pm (Pacific), and most
+of the backlog of paperwork had now been sorted out.
+
+\tug\ membership to date for 1994 was 2,117 (including 386 new
+members):
+%
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{lrlr}
+ United States & 1,057 & Middle East & 10 \\
+ Europe & 773 & Central/South America & 8 \\
+ Asia & 105 & Africa & 5 \\
+ Canada & 95 & Mexico & 4 \\
+ \multicolumn{4}{l}{Australia/New Zealand/South Pacific \qquad 60} \\
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+%
+The individual membership rate for 1995 was reduced by \$5 to \$55,
+with the option of a \$40 rate for members who did not wish to receive
+\TUB. Institutional membership categories have been simplified to only
+one: \$350 for seven named individuals, and \$50 for each additional
+person. Joint memberships are available with the {\small UKTUG} and
+the \ntg, with a savings of 10\%. As well, the discount for members
+was increased from 10\% to 20\%, effective immediately; and membership
+numbers will be distributed via the 1995 renewal notices. A new
+photocopying service of past \TUB\ articles will also be instituted,
+pending final arrangements.
+
+Other issues related to the office included equipment upgrades, to
+better serve office and member needs (some of the older 286s require a
+friendly ``nudge'' in order to boot!); an Internet connection,
+allowing ftp would be installed by late fall.
+
+With respect to the larger community, the work of George Greenwade and
+others on the development of the \ctan\ archives was recognised. Also
+at the more general level, \tug\ will continue to monitor the progress
+of the {\small ISO} move to recognise ``Publicly Available
+Specifications ({\small PAS}), with the possibility of seeing \TeX\
+adopted as a {\small PAS}. This would materially assist many
+organizations who are bound to use only {\small ISO}-approved systems
+to introduce \TeX. And finally, the president was requested to write a
+letter of appreciation to Doug Henderson, who had provided much
+support for \tug\ over the years, especially in the form of t-shirts
+for \tug\ conferences, and who had now left the \TeX\ world to pursue
+other interests.
+
+
+\subsection*{Reports from committees}
+
+Many committees submitted reports on their activities: the Bursary
+Fund, Vendors, the Knuth Scholarship, Elections, Conference Planning,
+Publications and Documentation, as well as a report from the Technical
+Council.
+
+The Bursary Committee requested that the contributors to this year's
+fund, which made it possible for three people to attend the meeting in
+Santa Barbara, be publicly acknowledged and thanked:
+%
+\begin{center}
+ \begin{tabular}{lrlr}
+ GUTenberg &1,000 & Members & 415 \\
+ TUG & 500 & UK\TeX UG & 300 \\
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+%
+The board approved a budget allocation of \$2,000 for next year's
+bursary fund.
+
+The Knuth Scholar for 1994 is Shelly Lee Ames of the University of
+Manitoba, for the extent and quality of her work for the {\sl Canadian
+Journal of Mathematics\/}. She now becomes a member of next year's
+Scholarship Committee.
+
+The Elections Committee outlined the schedule for the election of a
+new president and five positions on the board in the spring of
+1995.\footnote[1]{See pp.~19--20 for instructions and nomination form
+--Ed.}
+
+The Conference Planning Committee announced it had received only one
+confirmed offer to host the 1996 \tug\ meeting, but that others were
+pending. A final decision on the 1996 site should be made before the
+end of the current calendar year.
+
+The Pubs/Docs Committee presented information on various issues that
+had been occupying their time: info-sheets; agreement to allow authors
+to circulate preprints of their \TUB\ articles; a request for funds to
+allow for some colour inserts into the Proceedings issue of \TUB\
+(approved).
+
+Michael Ferguson, chair of the Technical Council, reported on
+activities in the various \twg s, emphasising that ``the recipe for
+the success of any \twg\ is to have an enthusiastic chair and a
+community of interest.'' A list of all \twg s will be posted to \ctan\
+in the near future.
+
+
+\subsection*{Relationships with other user groups in the \TeX\ field}
+
+Since 1989, representatives of the five biggest local user groups
+(\dante\ [German-speaking], Nordic, \GUTenberg\ [French-speaking],
+\ntg\ [Dutch-speaking] and {\small UKTUG}) have sat on \tug's Board.
+As the number and size of local user groups has grown, it has become
+increasingly difficult to provide an effective structural relationship
+which allows \tug\ to honour its obligations to its own members as
+well as to serve and assist developing groups of users elsewhere. In
+the wake of the withdrawal of its representative by \dante, it was
+decided that a new approach was needed. The \tug\ President, Christina
+Thiele, was therefore mandated to consult with all the local user
+groups and report at the 1995 meeting on suitable means for improving
+representation and participation. It was agreed that, if possible, she
+should travel to the upcoming Euro\TeX'94 meeting in Gda\'nsk, Poland.
+
+In the meantime, the Executive Committee will seek to reach agreements
+for cooperation with all local user groups; such cooperation would
+include providing two copies of \TUB\ and \ttn\ to each group, and
+instituting joint membership discount rates.
+
+
+\subsection*{Finances}
+
+The 1993 deficit, expected to be 30,000, was only 16,000, mainly
+due to very firm budgetting efforts made by the office, in particular
+by the Executive Director, Patricia Monohon. For the current year, the
+prognosis is to reach a very small deficit, provided no unexpected
+expenses arise. Finances are tight, but with staff cutbacks and other
+reductions in operating expenses, we are managing to hold our own.
+
+
+\subsection*{New addresses for member comments}
+
+During the business meeting at this summer's conference, there was a
+suggestion made to start up an address for \tug\ members to send their
+comments and suggestions to. The following addresses are now
+available: either {\tt TUG-Suggest@SHSU.edu} or {\tt
+TUG\_Suggest@SHSU.edu}. We'll see how they work and hopefully will be
+able to report on the success of the new venture.

+\noindent The \TeX\ Users Group is proud to announce that the {\bf
+sixteenth} annual meeting will be held at the TradeWinds Hotel, in
+St.\,Petersburg Beach, Florida, July 24--28, 1995. We would like to
+extend a warm invitation to \TeX\ users around the world---come join
+us at one of the largest and most beautiful resort beaches in Florida,
+as we explore where \TeX\ is to be found and how its users are going
+far beyond---or are diverging from---its initial mathematical context.
+
+The theme of the meeting will be ``Real World \TeX'' and we plan to
+have demonstrations of pre- and post-processors, and the active
+participation of developers and vendors, in hopes that {\bf you}, the
+user, may discover ``hands-on'' just what can be done with \TeX, \MF,
+\PS, and other utilities!
+
+Commercial users of \TeX\ are particularly encouraged to attend. The
+meeting will feature papers of interest to publishers and \TeX\
+vendors, a panel discussion addressing commercial users' needs and
+wants, and a gallery for displaying samples of \TeX\ work.
+
+There will be the usual courses associated with the meeting: {\em
+Intensive Courses} in \LaTeXe\ and \TeX, PostScript, Graphics, and
+perhaps other topics. The meeting itself will have excellent speakers,
+panel discussions, workshops, poster displays, Birds-of-a-Feather
+sessions (BoFs) and technical demonstrations.
