+ Subject: TeX/LaTeX on Windows
+
+ Not being a beginner, this is going to sound a bit weird, I suppose, but
+ despite having used TeX and LaTeX around here for more than a decade, I've
+ never been asked (very much) to put them up on PC platforms, which are in
+ little use in this department. However, I've just been asked about running
+ LaTeX on a Windows platform, and it occurs to me that I know nothing whatever
+ about this.
+
+ Starting from scratch then, in an early-1996 Windows environment, where
+ should one go to get the ideal TeX/LaTeX setup? I assume there are
+ `commercial' solutions (we use Textures on Macintosh already) but I don't
+ know how much money might be available, so a price spectrum from zero to
+ lottery-winner is appropriate, I think.
+
+Check out http://www.YandY.com (or contact sales-help@Yandy.com).
+
+ Thanks for any suggestions,
+
+ Sam.

+Subject: permille, fractions, space, \afterpage and procs
+
+Could anyone help me with five queries? The first two are perhaps simple, the last two I am unsure about. FYI I am using
+LaTeX2e with emTeX on a PC.
+
+1) How can I get a permille sign (like a percent sign but with two zeros -- 0/00). I scanned the tables in The Companion and
+The Book but don't see it.
+
+2) How can I get nice in-text fractions? By that I mean not 1/2 which $1/2$ would give you, or \frac{1}{2}, but a fraction
+where there is a small 1, a diagonal line and a small 2. (I usually use the Times package and a PS laserprinter).
+
+3) I have a chapter which is nearly all text with some headings/sub-headings and footnotes. In places, LaTeX has increased
+the white space between paragraphs or around sub-headings in order to place a \section at the top of a page. This looks very
+ugly and I would rather have a little extra white space at the bottom of the page, than extra white space between paragraphs.
+ Is there any way I can stop LaTeX adding this extra space?
+
+4) In another chapter I have a lot of tables and figures. Following advice in The Companion, I often use
+\afterpage{\clearpage} to flush out the figures etc. Unfortunately, this occasionally results in a blank page with the header
+at the top, and a footnote at the bottom. Any suggestions?
+
+5) Lastly, later this year I have to produce a set of conference proceedings. Could I have some pointers to classes/packages
+and/or articles which would enable me to do this in LaTeX2e. Specifically, including authors names and addresses in paper
+titles and the TOC etc.
+
+Many thanks in advance,
+
+Kris Lockyear.

+
+======================================================================
+
+ The 17th Annual TeX Users Group Meeting
+
+
+ polyglot polytechnic
+
+ polymath POLY-TeX polymath
+
+ polytechnic polyglot
+
+
+ July 28-- August 2, 1996
+
+ in JINR, Dubna, Russia
+
+ Organized jointly by: TUG, CyrTUG, JINR
+
+ CALL FOR PAPERS
+
+======================================================================
+Dear TeX Friends!
+
+So the time has arrived when TeX, the Polyglot, who has for many years
+happily ``spoken'' many different languages written in the Latin
+alphabet, extends its knowledge in the field of other alphabets.
+During the Summer of 1996, a visit is planned to Russia where TeX
+will have its first practical session in Cyrillic.
+
+Russia is that large country, with its enormous spaces, inhabited by
+those enigmatic Russians, who started the century with a Revolution,
+and ended it with ``Perestroyka''. A country who founded a brilliant
+mathematical school, colonized the Cosmos, and conquered the world
+with its literature, music, and ballet.
+
+So what awaits the TeX user who plans to attend TUG'96?
+
+At Moscow's international Sheremetevo-2 Airport, conference
+participants will be met by a member of the organizing committee and
+escorted by bus to Dubna, where from July 28 to August 2, the 17th TUG
+conference will take place (see below for more about Dubna). If, for
+some reason or another, you envision cold, the taiga, and white bears,
+then we can reassure you, Dubna is in the European part of Russia, and
+if you want to see the ice on the nordic oceans, you will have to
+travel further than you would to reach the subtropics of the Black Sea
+shore. Indeed, you will soon find that the pine forest in which the
+comfortable town of Dubna is situated will remind you of a park. In
+July and August, the weather is mostly warm and sunny, with an average
+temperature of 28 degrees Centigrade. Guests will be housed in a
+comfortable hotel on the banks of the Volga river in single or double
+rooms (hot water, shower, telephone, and television). The Russian
+``cuisine'' is characterized by its abundance, so one can forget about
+slimming.
+
+The social program includes a picnic on the picturesque banks of the
+Volga, where we will be taken by boat, a bus excursion to Sergiev
+Posad (the center of the Russian Orthodox Church, where Andrey
+Slephkhin works--- see his article on page 373 of TUGboat 16#4 or the
+EuroTeX'95 proceedings page 331), and, on the last day a visit to
+Moscow, following which the participants can be dropped of at the
+airport to fly home, or at one of the railway stations, if they want
+to prolong their visit.
+
+The conference's preliminary program will be announced as soon as we
+receive from you, dear readers, proposals for presentations, courses
+that you would like to teach or attend, poster sessions, or any
+problem(s) or subject(s) that interest you. Please send your
+suggestions to the conference electronic address
+
+TUG96@pds.jinr.ru
+=================
+
+The theme of the Conference is: PolyTeX, TeX or the art of

+PRACTICAL INFORMATION

+
+- - ----------------
+Conference costs
+- - ----------------
+
+The Conference Committee foresees a cost in the range 550--600 USD.
+This sum includes the complete cost of the conference, namely the
+registration fee, lodging (6 nights with six breakfasts, lunches, and
+dinners), coffee/tea breaks, social events, and transport from
+Sheremetevo Airport to Dubna. The payment should be made in the
+following way: a `non-refundable' sum of $100 per person should be
+transferred to a bank account (to be announced) before June 1st.
+After receipt of that sum an official invitation, necessary for
+obtaining a visa (see below), will be faxed to the participant. The
+rest will be payable in cash upon arrival at the Conference (no credit
+cards or cheques can be used in Dubna). %For participants of
+economically weaker countries or for students %we hope to arrange
+partial support via sponsors. We hope to arrange bursary funds for
+support of students and those participants who demonstrate need.
+
+- - -----
+Visas
+- - -----
+
+Most of the visitors from outside Russia will need a visa to attend
+the Conference. Therefore, for arranging a visa into Russia,
+participants should inform the
+
+ Mrs. N. Dokalenko, Conference Secretariat
+ E-mail nataly@ypr.jinr.dubna.su;
+ Fax 7 095 975 2381 or 7 09621 65 891
+
+of their and (possibly) the accompanying person(s)'s full name, date
+of birth, citizenship, passport number, arrival and departure dates.
+The Secretariat will forward by fax the visa support message to the
+participants with which they should apply for visas to the nearest
+Russian Embassy or Consulate. Please note that you should apply for a
+visa valid for Dubna, Moscow, and Sergiev Posad. (If you plan to visit
+other cities in Russia you should obtain the relevant documents and
+join them to the visa application, so that the names of all places to
+be visited can be entered on the visa form as required.)
+
+- - --------------
+Transportation
+- - --------------
+
+The Organizing Committee will arrange direct transportation by bus
+from the Sheremetevo-2 Airport to Dubna (130 km north of Moscow). The
+Secretariat should be informed of the flight number, precise date and
+time of arrival (Moscow time) `no later than' four working days before
+a participant wishes to be met at the airport. It is our intention to
+have each participant met by a member of Organizing Committee.
+Details will be available later.
+
+
+====================
+WELCOME TO DUBNA !
+====================
+
+Dubna was founded in 1956 when the Convention establishing the Joint
+Institute for Nuclear Research was signed. The town is situated on the
+picturesque banks of the Volga river and the Moscow sea 120 km to the
+north of Moscow. One can reach Dubna from Moscow within 2 hours going
+by car, by bus or by express train. It will take you 1.5 hours to go
+to Dubna from the Sheremetevo-2 International Airport. Waterways
+connect Dubna not only to the Russian Volga cities, but also to the
+waters of the Black, the Caspian, the Baltic and the White seas.
+
+There is no harmful environmental impact from the industrial plants;
+this together with the large tracts of forest in the environs of
+Dubna, and the vast water area dotted with small islands, makes the
+area quite attractive for tourism and rest. The Volga embankment is
+one of the prettiest parts of the town. In springtime, the streets of
+Dubna are full of the odour of lilacs, the apple trees are pink-white;
+in summer, lime trees, maples, birch trees and poplars make the town
+seem totally green; in autumn the town is all golden excepting the
+evergreen of old pine trees. The town's modern look harmonizes with
+the quietness of the surrounding forest. The town was built in the
+midst of a forest. There are separate patches of trees in the town
+itself, and the town park is just a part of the forest. It takes just
+a few minutes to get to the forest from the shopping centre on foot. A
+few minutes' walk and you are outside the city limits!
+
+Small as it is, Dubna is a real metropolis. It is a scientific
+metropolis. It is a ``big little city'', as a visiting American
+scientist called it many years ago. Since the foundation of the Joint
+Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), the name of Dubna has
+constantly been in the pages of the world's newspapers and journals.
+Dubna is one of the world centres for fundamental research in nuclear
+physics. The Joint Institute plays an important role as a coordinator
+of investigations of the scientists from 18 JINR member-state
+institutes. Wide international scientific and technical cooperation
+is one of the fundamental concepts of the JINR.
+
+Dubna is indeed a town of international friendship. Foreign speech can
+be heard everywhere. But the words, no matter in which language they
+are pronounced, are clear to everybody: friendly cooperation and
+fraternity unite all the physicists and mathematicians living and
+working in Dubna into an international scientific community.
+
+On October 3, 1994, Dubna opened its doors to its first university,
+``International University of Dubna: Nature, Society and Man''. The
+university is composed of five "cathedra" or faculties, including
+socioeconomic sciences, ecology and earth science, computer education,
+linguistics, and health and physical education. Two more faculties---
+law and government and technology--- are also being contemplated.
+
+The town has great experience in holding international conferences,
+and exchanges of delegations between countries in the sphere of
+science, education and culture. Dubna and La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA,
+are sister cities. Dubna is famous for its hospitality. Famous
+scientists, public figures and statesmen from different countries
+visit Dubna. They are always impressed by the gracious welcome they
+receive in Dubna and warm generosity which Dubna residents
+demonstrate.
+
+=======================
+A FEW WORDS ON MOSCOW
+=======================
+
+Moscow, the capital of Russia, has a population of some nine million
+people. It is a city rich in cultural, architectural and historical
+monuments, and, at the same time, boasts a rapidly developing modern
+urban community with brand new blocks of flats, long, straight and
+broad avenues, parks, gardens, stadiums, schools, cinemas, department
+stores, recreation centres, bridges and highways. Though
+forward-looking, it cherishes the memory of its past, and its old
+sections lend it a special charm.
