+\centerline{\bf Forthcoming Meetings}
+\medskip\noindent
+{\bf RIAO 88}: User-Oriented Context-Based Text
+and Image Handling, MIT, Cambridge MA, March 21--24
+1988.
+
+The sharp end of electronic publishing, with
+very little about non-electronic documents.
+It is very much an international conference,
+although dominated by US and French researchers.
+The conference cost is about \$300 or 1750FF (which
+turn out to be about the same in sterling, despite the
+demise of the dollar). Accommodation extra.

+{\bf EP88}: International Conference on
+Electronic Publishing, Document Manipulation
+and Typography, Nice (France), April 20--22, 1988.
+
+It's too late now to submit a paper to this conference
+(apparently over 100 were submitted --- not in
+abstract, but in full, final form --- and only
+18 selected). There are 22 papers in the conference,
+4 of which were invited (starring Richard Southall,
+Brian Reid, Richard Morris, Peter Brown and I.~Mandel).
+Being French, there is a proper 2-hour lunch break.
+The cost is dependent on two things: whether you
+are from a University or not, and whether you
+pay the registration fees before or after March 15th.
+The cheapest is 1,200\,FF (early, University), and
+the most expensive 3,000\,FF (late, non-University).
+This does not cover accommodation.
+The programme suggests that there will be 400
+participants.

+{\bf Markup'88}: The Sixth International Conference
+and Showcase on Standard Generalized Markup
+Language {\sc sgml} and related topics,
+Ottowa, Canada, May 24--26, 1988.
+
+Lots of initials in the titles of the talks,
+some of which I can decode. The most notable
+growth area is in {\sc sgml} software.
+Cost, \$US440--560, depending on what group
+you are a member of. This does not include hotel
+accomodation.
