+Subject: Re: How to make Glossary during thesis writing
+
+In response to Ferose Lambay's question about glossary preparation, I can
+offer a simple wrapper that turns BibTeX into the glossary generation tool
+"GlossTex" (apologies if anyone has already used this name).
+
+For the user, this works in much the same way as BibTeX, reading the auxiliary
+file (.aux) and using database files (.gly) plus a style file (.gst) to
+produce a glossary (.gls) that can be incorporated in subsequent LaTeX runs.
+User commands for the LaTeX source are provided in a style file (.sty) in the
+normal manner.
+
+GlossTeX is implemented as a shell script which uses all the usual UNIX tricks
+to manipulate the input and output of standard (0.99c) BibTeX. It should run
+on any sensible UNIX machine although it was developed on System V Release 4.
+The LaTeX style file is based on 2.09 of 7 Dec 1989 and may need some
+tinkering for more recent versions - I haven't checked.
+
+If this looks useful then please mail me direct for the script plus supporting
+files, examples and manual page.

+
+I don't know NextStep very well, but as far as I know there is a somewhat
+"normal" UNIX system hidden behind the graphical user interface. I think
+if your MetaFont package and how it is installed is like all the other
+UNIX-based systems you should be able to "go down" to the UNIX level and
+invoke your MetaFont using shell commands. What are the "README" or "INSTALL"
+files saying which came along with the package ? (I have written some C-Shell
+script to automate the boring font building process on my UNIX system...)
+
+May be there is a GUI shell for invoking TeX and MetaFont on your system as
+part of the TeX/MetaFont package and you just haven't noticed that. (On my
+Atari at home I have a nice graphical shell which was part of the package I
+use.)
+
+May be the DVI driver you have to get on-screen previews has the ability to
+build the missing font files used in your document but not on available (you
+must have at least the TFM files for this to work).
+
+May be you will find on TeX/MetaFont providing internet sites GUI shells and
+DVI driver capable of automated font building...

+Subject: special's
+
+Hello TeX friends,
+I have just observed strange behaviour. I was trying to fine tune the
+positioning of my EPSF pictures. They needed a special postscript prolog, so I
+used:
+
+\special{header=gnudict.pro}
+
+in the preamble of the LaTeX2e document (it was LaTeX2e as of Dec 1993). In
+order not to spend much time on texing I put the each picture definition into
+its own file and fine tuned one picture at a time. The picture started with
+
+\begin{figure}[p]
+
+and the document looked like:
+
+\documentclass[12pt]{article}
+\usepackage{epsf}
+\special{header=gnudict.pro}
+\begin{document}
+\input{myfig}
+\end{document}
+... the rest of the document commented out by the previous line
+
+The result was that the specials for EPSF inclusion worked but
+\special{header=gnudict.pro} silently disappeared. Dvitype revealed that it
+did not get into the dvi file.
+
+When I processed the whole text, all \special's were put into the dvi file as
+expected.
+
+I have some explanation for that mystery. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
+
+When TeX encounters a \special, it makes a `whatsit' and puts it into MVL (The
+TeXbook, pp. 228--229). Then LaTeX2e reads in the myfig.tex file which
+contains only the definition of a figure. \end{document} then somehow invokes
+the output routine. Now LaTeX2e finds a non-processed float which takes the
+whole page. It sends the float to the dvi file but the `whatsit' remains in
+the MVL. Then it should process the last unfinished page but there is no `ink'
+on it, nothing to print, there is only the `whatsit'. Thence TeX or LaTeX2e
+forgets about it and the `whatsit' is not written to the dvi file.
+
+I must admit that it took me a long time reading the documentation of DVIPS
+and looking at \special's in epsf.sty and everything looked like unexplainable
+mystery until I found the following sentence on p. 228 of The TeXbook:
+
+``Therefore it (=whatsit) is implicitely associated with a particular position
+on the page, namely the reference point that would have been present if a box
+of height, depth, and width zero hade appeared in place of the whatsit.''
+
+Can someone explain whether this is caused by LaTeX2e or by TeX itself and
+whether it is a bug or a feature?
+
+Oh! As I was writing this mail, it got into my mind to try the simple file
+
+\special{header=gnudict.pro}
+\bye
+
+and run it through plain TeX. The dvi file contained the empty page but the
+\special was there too!
+
+Regards

+>Subject: MF fonts and Windows
+
+The facts:
+
+1. I am a writer;
+2. I _really_ like TeX and MF, and in fact do all my serious writing on a PC
+using TeX. When necessary, I design my own fonts in MF. I especially like
+the cmtt fonts which, with good TeX macros, produce copy almost identical to
+typewritten without my having to worry about the formatting details. This
+makes life easy for both me and the for the editors who have to read my stuff.
+
+3. On the other hand, for short notes and letters, it's hard to beat a nice
+Windows Word Processor.
+
+So this leads me directly to want MF fonts usable in Windows (both on the
+screen and on 300 dpi laser output).
+
+I don't care if they are scalable (i.e. I'd be quite happy to choose from
+a small fixed set of sizes produced by some sort of pk2fon program); if they
+are scalable, I don't care if they are TT or PS as I run the current release
+of ATM. (In principal, since both PS and MF use bezier curves, I suppose
+it ought to be possible to take MF source and produce PS fonts, although I
+wouldn't like the job of making such a program actually work.) I don't care
+about the number of intervening stages and programs necessary to get from
+PK to PS/TT/FON/whatever. What I would like to know is HOW to get there
+from here. It's got to be possible, and I'm almost certain that the necessary
+programs have to be available somewhere; it's just that I'haven't come across
+them.
+
+
+I will post a summary of any helpful replies I receive.
+Thanks.

+ (Jan. 1994)
+
+Some time ago Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> sent me some patches so
+that ps2pk can handle larger and more complicated fonts. Most of these
+patches had to do with memory limitations in version 1.3. These
+limitations and some other bugs are now removed. Here is a short

+ 1) Memory allocation made dynamically
+ 1.1 in computing runlengths (needed to build PK fonts)
+ 1.2 in scanning type1 fonts (to overcome `fixed' virtual memory)
+ 2) Problem with handling Lucida font (negative widths) solved
+ 3) Improved error handling in scanning AFM files
+ 4) Provided hooks to handle non 32-bit platforms
+ 5) Some cleanups
+ 6) Improved Makefiles.

+
+Version 1.5 of Excalibur is now available from sol.cs.bucknell.edu in
+pub/mac. I've also sent it to CTAN. Here's a copy of the README file
+that comes with it.
+- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is release 1.5 of Excalibur. 1/14/94
+
+Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. You can
+optionally turn off LaTeX parsing, so Excalibur is a good plain text
+spelling checker too.
+
+Features include:
+
+- - Excalibur will offer suggestions for how to correct a word.
+
+- - Excalibur can spell check the clipboard. This makes it a good
+spelling checker for any text based application such as Alpha, BBEdit,
+or Eudora.
+
+- - You can teach it about new LaTeX commands and environments that
+you define.
+
+- - Optionally spell checks text in the typewriter (\tt) font.
+
+- - You can create your own dictionaries.
+
+- - Works with Textures and OzTeX documents. It should work on any TEXT file.
+
+- - You will need System 6.0.4 or higher to run Excalibur.
+
+- - If you are running System 7 or greater, there is balloon help.
+
+- - Excalibur is free.
+
+- - British, Dutch, French, Germain, and Italian dictionaries are also
+available.
+
+Version 1.5 changes:
+
+- - Added options that let the user choose how Excalibur should behave
+when you launch it. You may choose to present an "open file" dialog,
+open the clipboard if it has text, or do nothing. When the clipboard
+option is checked, Excalibur will also open the clipboard when it
+receives a resume event (if it contains text).
+
+- - Adjusted a few of the dialogs so that they all appear and behave
+consistently. Hitting Return or Enter is the same as clicking the
+default button. Command period is the same as cancel.
+
+- - Made some changes so that Excalibur's interactions with Alpha are
+smoother.
+
+- - Fixed the Edit Commands dialog so that it is a bit more intuitive.
+
+- - Fixed the Edit Environments dialog so that you no longer enter the
+number of arguments. Excalibur never used these values anyway.
+
+- - You can now drag Excalibur's windows to another monitor.
+
+- - Fixed a few minor bugs.

+I've released version 6.1 of web2c, a port of the basic TeX

+
+You can get everything by ftp from:

+ (Germany) ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
+
+See the ftp retrieval instructions below for precise details.
+
+A summary of the changes is below. Send bug reports to me (I'm sure
+there will be plenty). If you want support, or if you cannot ftp, I
+suggest contacting unixtex@u.washington.edu.
+
+There are no changes to the web files (that will be version 7.0);
+web-6.1.tar.gz is only different in the name of its top-level directory.

+
+
+lib is a collection of the basic tfm, tex, mf, and bibtex files
+ (in my opinion). Only change from 6.0 is to add the raw tfm's for Utopia.
+
+web2c:
+* foo.bar found before foo.tex (found before foo).
+* configure links sun.c to sun-sunview.c if SUNWIN is defined.
+* -DLONG_64_BITS is supplied automatically (if appropriate).
+* Various changes for configure --srcdir.
+* Sample MakeTeX* scripts included.
+
+dvipsk:
+* Don't complain if scaled fonts are close enough.
+* Document -pp.
+
+There are no particular xdvik changes; just keeping up with the kpathsea

+
+Most people who get in touch with the Unix TeX distribution at the Univ.
+of Washington are aiming to install plain TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, plain
+Metafont, a previewer that will work under the X windowing system, and a
+PostScript device driver. While the ftp sites listed below have just
+about everything useful for users of TeX on a variety of operating
+systems, our retrieval instructions -- intended solely for users with
+machines running Unix -- are limited to the programs mentioned above.
+
+The three ftp sites mentioned below are part of the Comprehensive TeX
+Archive Network (CTAN).
+
+ CTAN is the result of cooperative work among members of TUG,
+ DANTE [German-speaking TeX Users Group], and UKTUG [U.K. TeX
+ Users Group], under the leadership of George Greenwade, Chair
+ for TUG's Technical Working Group on TeX Archive Guidelines.
+
+ Special thanks to George Greenwade for establishing the CTAN site
+ at Sam Houston State University (US); to Rainer Schoepf, Barbara Burr,
+ and members of DANTE for the CTAN site at the University of Stuttgart
+ (FRG); and to Sebastian Rahtz for the CTAN site at Aston University (UK).

+
+Users of ftp.tex.ac.uk or ftp.dante.de will be able to retrieve
+the same tex-archive files, but site-specific files (i.e., the two

+ README.site-commands
+
+to learn how to use the archive efficiently.
+
+We assume that you will have read these documents and will be able to
+use the information in them to make retrieval more convenient for yourself.
+
+ For example, by reading these files, you will learn that you will be
+ able to retrieve foo.tar.gz even if the file does not exist, because
+ the ftpd allows archiving and compressing files on the fly.
+
+In our instructions, the mode of compression used during retrieval is
+gzip. All files ending in .gz are gzipped.
+
+We encourage you to retrieve and install GNU's gunzip utility, part of
+the gzip package. Set "binary" by typing "bi" at your ftp prompt, and
+retrieve the file
+
+ ~/tex-archive/archive-tools/info-zip/gzip-<version>.tar
+
+It does a better job of compression than standard Unix compress; and it
+is (as far as is known) patent-free. It is illegal to use Unix compress

+ ftp> bi [for binary retrieval]
+ ftp> get lib.tar.gz
+
+ This file contains a small collection of fonts (TFM files only),
+ (La)TeX macros, MF macros, and BibTeX files, enough to get
+ started. The AMS fonts and macros are included.
+
+ It unpacks into a directory named `texmf', which you will want in
+ your equivalent of /usr/local/lib -- whatever you defined as your
+ $(datadir) in the Makefiles.
+
+ The organization of the archive was debated at great length. We hope
+ it will be useful. If you don't like our organization, you should
+ move the files around as you see fit, not forgetting to redefine the
+ search paths and installation directories. The Makefiles,
+ kpathsea/HIER, kpathsea/paths.h.in, and web2c/README (``Directory
+ hierarchies'') have more tidbits of information.
+
+ We advise unpacking this and deciding on your directory structure
+ *before* doing the compilations.

+ Special thanks here to Karl Berry, Unix System Coordinator for TUG.
+ He improves/develops/maintains web2c, modes.mf, dvipsk, and xdvik
+ (and other things not mentioned in this file). He also maintains
+ pub/tex on ftp.cs.umb.edu, which is the originating location for all
+ the files above and below.

+
+ ftp> get web.tar.gz [Knuth's WEB sources for TeX, MF, & family:
+ unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]
+
+ ftp> get web2c.tar.gz [WEB-to-C source:
+ unpacks into ./web2c-<version>]
+
+ It is important to retrieve and unpack both web.tar.gz and web2c.tar.gz.
+ They unbundle into a single directory called ./web2c-<version>.
+
+ The web2c software converts the WEB source files (in which TeX,
+ Metafont, & family are written) to C source. The input and font
+ files are needed to dump the format and base files required to run
+ plain TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont.

+ [unpacks into ./xdvik-<version>]
+
+ ftp> cd ../dvipsk
+ ftp> get dvipsk.tar.gz

+
+ ftp> quit [end ftp session]
+
+We believe this covers the retrieval of the essential files.
+
+Each of the three packages -- web2c, xdvik, dvipsk -- contains its own
+installation instructions. If you have never set up these programs before,
+compile web2c first (that is to say, the material in both web.tar.gz and
+web2c.tar.gz, unpacked); begin by reading ./web2c-<version>/web2c/README
+and ./web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL. Remember to set up your texmf
+directory hierarchy before embarking on your compilation (see "For a
+basic set of input files and fonts" above).
+
+All installation processes require careful attention to detail, and knowledge
+of your system. "Make haste slowly", and you improve your chances of success.
+
+
+How to make web2c, dvipsk, and xdvik in a single make:
+- -----------------------------------------------------
+[Thanks to Martyn Johnson, Pierre MacKay, Jon Peatfield, and Andreas Schott
+ for their notes.]
+
+These three programs are not packaged together, because the latter two
+are updated fairly frequently. But (thanks to Karl's work), the programs
+can be made in a single make:
+
+ Extract the three archives so that the following directories
+ are parallel to each other:
+
+ ./dvipsk-<version>
+ ./web2c-<version>
+ ./xdvik-<version>
+
+ Next:
+
+ mv dvipsk-<version>/dvipsk web2c-<version>
+
+ mv xdvik-<version>/xdvik web2c-<version>
+
+ ./web2c-<version> should now contain four subdirectories:
+ dvipsk, kpathsea, web2c, and xdvik.
+
+The files remaining in ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version>
+are identical in all three archives. If you wish, you can now
+remove ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version>. If you wish to
+retain the names and versions of the programs, you can create the
+following symbolic links:
+
+ ln -s web2c-<version> dvipsk-<version>
+
+ ln -s web2c-<version> xdvik-<version>
+
+Be sure to read web2c-<version>/README, web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL,
+web2c-<version>/dvipsk/INSTALL, and web2c-<version>/xdvik/INSTALL.
+
+Make sure that you have completed the instructions in the section above
+called "For a basic set of input files and fonts".
+
+You are now ready to begin configuring and building the programs.
+
+
+
+Network users interested in TeX software will find much that is useful in

+ ------------------------------------
+
+Graph-TeX is a Perl script and library for typesetting directed and
+undirected graphs. It takes as input a .gt file which resembles an array
+environment (it even more closely resembles the commutative diagram
+environment of XY-pic). Then it produces TeXdraw commands for inclusion
+into an .tex file.
+
+Complicated graphs can be quickly typeset producing high quality results.
+Features include:
+
+ - TeX labels well placed with respect to the labeled object.
+ - Spade-like arrowheads which reduce the effect of postscript
+ inconsistencies (edge effects).
+ - Bezier-curved edges and loops on which arrows and labels follow the
+ tangent.
+ - Flexibility in redefining default attributes.
+
+Graph-TeX was designed to support graphs possessing symmetries such as
+the Peterson graph or the Cayley graph of D_3. In these, the vertex
+positions are not so easily described within an array environment. See
+the manual for more details.
+
+ --------------
+
+To get the manual and source, ftp anonymously to ima.umn.edu, cd to

+
+
+ LaTeX2e -- Second Test Release Available
+
+ Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team
+
+ 14 February 1994
+
+
+The second test release of LaTeX is now available. Notes about this
+release are at the end of this announcement. The first release
+revealed a few serious bugs and several other areas which need
+attention. Many people reported that documents and style files had
+been processed by the new system without serious problems; this
+includes one very important test -- the original text of `The LaTeX
+Manual'! We can also report that this release has been tested with
+all the files in the LaTeX 2.09 test suite and produces only
+predictable differences in the output.
+
+
+First, here is the original announcement
+- ----------------------------------------
+
+LaTeX2e is the new standard version of LaTeX -- prepared and supported
+by the LaTeX3 project team. It is upwardly compatible with LaTeX 2.09
+documents, but contains new features.
+
+Over the years many extensions of LaTeX have been developed. This is,
+of course, a welcome development, since it shows that the LaTeX system
+is in a healthy state. It has, however, had one unfortunate
+consequence: there are now several incompatible systems, in the sense
+of format (.fmt) files, all claiming to be LaTeX. Therefore, in order
+to process documents coming from various places, a site maintainer
+needs to provide several format files: LaTeX (with and without NFSS),
+SLiTeX, AmSLaTeX, and so on. In addition, when looking at a source
+file it is not always clear for which format the document was written.
+
+LaTeX2e puts an end to this unsatisfactory situation -- it will give
+access to all such extensions based on a single format and thus end
+the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09.
+
+It uses an enhanced version (NFSS2) of the New Font Selection Scheme.
+Files such as amstex.sty (formerly the AmSLaTeX format) or slides.sty
+(formerly the SLiTeX format) will become extension packages, all
+working with this single format.
+
+The introduction of this new version will also make it possible to add
+a small number of often-requested features (such as extended versions
+of \newcommand).
+
+To summarize:
+
+ * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to replace
+ the present multiplicity of incompatible formats --
+ NFSS, lfonts, pslfonts, etc.
+
+* Maintenance: a standardised system supported by a reliable
+ maintenance policy.
+
+
+LaTeX2e adheres, as far as possible, to the following principles:
+
+ * Unmodified version 2.09 document files can be processed with
+ LaTeX2e.
+
+ * All new features of LaTeX2e conform to the conventions of version
+ 2.09, making it as easy as possible for current users to learn to
+ use them.
+
+LaTeX2e is described in a new edition of `LaTeX: A Document Preparation
+System' by Leslie Lamport (to appear during 1994) and `The LaTeX
+Companion' by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, both published by
+Addison-Wesley.
+
+LaTeX2e will be distributed twice a year. This distribution is a
+preliminary test release, and doesn't contain all of the files that
+will be part of the full release. In particular, it does not contain
+the planned extensions in the area of graphics inclusion.
+
+The first full release will be available in Spring 1994.
+
+This is a test release, so please get it and test it on as many
+different systems as possible!
+

+
+
+Notes on the second test release
+- --------------------------------
+
+- -- Only the straightforward bugs and the serious bugs found in the
+ first release have been fixed; other problems are still being
+ worked on. Some of the reports uncovered features of the original
+ LaTeX which some consider to be bugs; whether these should be
+ `fixed' is not always clear.
+
+- -- There are thus several areas, including things arising from bug
+ reports, on which we are still working.
+
+- -- The details of the distribution, unpacking etc are still under
+ development.
+
+- -- The details of the typography in the standard classes is not
+ finalised.
+
+- -- The precise functionality of the compatibility mode is not fixed.
+
+- -- Still no graphics package!
+
+Warning
+- -------
+If you have installed the first release then you must remove it
+completely and start again. This is because there are many small
+differences, including new file names, and because the installation
+procedure now behaves differently.

+Subject: dviljk 1.0, dvipsk 5.528a, and xdvik 1.7 available
+
+I've released version 1.0 of dviljk, a modified version of
+ Gustaf Neumann's dvi2xx driver (version 0.51a9) for HP LaserJet printers,
+and also new versions of dvipsk
+ (my modified version of Tom Rokicki's dvips)
+and xdvik
+ (ditto ditto Paul Vojta's xdvi).
+
+You can get them by ftp:
+ ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{xdvik,dvipsk,dviljk}.tar.gz
+Soon they should be on the ctan hosts as well, in tex-archive/dvi.
+
+Aside from kpathsea-ification and Autoconf-ization, dviljk also supports
+the LaserJet 4 builtin fonts (thanks to Norm Walsh, who built the actual
+TeX TFM's from HP TFM's). (The alpha9 version of the original dvi2xx
+also does so, and Eberhard Mattes' dvi-to-lj driver will probably do so
+also in the near future, so you aren't stuck with my idiosyncratic
+software just to use the builtin fonts.)
+
+The external ls-R database below isn't optimal yet -- the list of font
+directories still winds up being built, because of searches for
+nonexistent vf files. I'll address this next time out.
+
+
+Here's the NEWS for the other releases:
+
+kpathsea 1.7
+* Searches can use an externally-built ls-R ``database'', for speed.
+* `VPATH = .' lines removed from generated Makefile, for broken Sun make.
+* A path foo//tfm finds foo/tfm as well as foo/*/tfm.
+
+xdvik 1.7 (1 March 1994)
+* Use DEFAULT_FIG_PATH, instead of DEFAULT_TEX_PATH (they are the same
+ by default, anyway).
+* EPS displays take the magnification into account (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
+* EPS displays support the angle option from psfig 1.10 (thanks to Uwe Bon).
+* The Metafont mode for MakeTeXPK can be set via the command line, an X
+ resource, an environment variable, or at compile-time.
+* Support for the SelFile widget (thanks to Jon Peatfield).
+* XDVIFONTS only overrides font-related paths, not all paths.
+
+dvipsk 5.528a
+* DVIPSFONTS only overrides font-related paths.
+* By default, append mode to MakeTeXPK installation directory.
+* Update for dvips 5.528.

+ with TeX with an integrated development environment
+- - windows, several texts at a time
+- - float-text: the text is wrapped automatically and the resulting paragraph

+ information still exists, the fraying out of texts belongs to history
+* within the text commands, comments, braces and environment-borders are
+ stained to improve the readability of the text enormously
+* Macros: macro-recorder, commandsequences, textblocks, interactivity,
+ decision, jumps
+* using OS/2 macros can pause until erxternal programs are terminated,
+ the positioning of PM-Windows can be controlled, in the OS/2-version the
+ 640K-limit has fallen
+* environmentvariable E4TOPT
+* switching the menus and messages to english, an english version of the
+ helpfiles will follow if YOU show your interest in the program
+- - search, search&replace, go to line, sorting, color-adjustment, backupfiles
+ temporaryfiles, screenprotector, ...
+- - blockoperations for areas of text and columns of tables
+- - online-helpsystem on the program (german only)
+- - online-helpsystem including syntaxinformation on LaTeX (german only)
+- - creating own helpfiles can be done comfortably using the included program
+- - registrating any programs you want
+- - analyse of the LOG-file, showing the errormessages, jumping to
+ errorpositions, works also in files via \input, several errors
+- - related braces are blinking

+============================================================================
+
+Is North America too far / too expensive / too alien a culture?
+Then come to EuroTeX '94, _the_ TeX conference of the year.
+EuroTeX will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off
+the coast of Gdansk in Poland. The conference will run from Monday
+September 26th to Friday September 30th, and the _maximum_ cost
+(based on two persons sharing) will not exceed $260-00 / sterling
+175-00 / DM 450-00. Those arriving early on Monday will be able
+to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
+Tuesday to Thursday will be jam-packed with talks and tutorials
+on TeX and related topics.
+
+All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for
+the whole week will be cut off from civilisation: no
+distractions, no need to leave the island: everything will be
+provided. For those unable to sustain the pace, quiet meditative
+walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the ideal
+opportunity for therapeutic meditation.
+
+Papers are solicited _now_, and early registration for the
+conference is advised: with its Central European location and
+idyllic setting, the conference is expected to attract many
+delegates. If you are even _thinking_ of coming, then you are
+urged to return the form below: we will then add you to the
+mailing list and keep you posted about any changes in the
+schedule. Please note the following deadlines:
+
+Abstracts for papers: no later than 1 May 1994;
+Final papers: 15th August 1994;
+
+Provisional registration: 1 June 1994 (no charge for cancellation);
+Confirmed registration: 1 September 199 (cancellation charged at 50%);
+Late registration: 15th September 1994 (no cancellation possible);
+
+Bursaries: as with the combined EuroTeX/TUG meeting at Aston last year,
+it is hoped to be able to offer financial assistance to delegates who
+would otherwise be unable to attend; of course, we cannot be sure at
+this stage that sponsors will be as generous as they were last year,
+but intending delegates who will need assistance in order to be able to
+attend should indicate in the space provided the _minimum_ bursary
+which would allow them to be able to attend, and should give clear
+reasons why they are applying. All applications will be treated in the
+strictest confidence. Delegates who are in no need of a bursary and
+who are able to assist others less fortunate are urged to pledge a
+donation in the space provided.
+
+Tutorials and Courses: It is intended to offer both tutorials (which
+will take place during the week of the conference proper), and courses
+(which will take place during the week following the conference);
+proposed topics include book design and LaTeX-2e, but no firm decisions
+have yet been taken on topics, durations or costs. Further details
+concerning this area will be circulated as soon as they are known, and
+space has been provided on the provisional registration form (below) in
+which both to indicate an interest in tutorials/courses and to suggest
+possible topics.
