If so, would you like to present +a paper? The themes of this year's EuroTeX conference are + + Principles; + Practice; + Progress; + POLAND! + +and papers are now urgently being sought. We are hoping to follow the +example set at Prague in 1992 and Aston in 1993, by making the proceedings +available actually at the conference, and in order for this to be feasible, +it is necessary to establish some fairly strict guidelines for submission. + +Abstracts are wanted _now_, and must be submitted no later than Friday +10th June; the committee will acknowledge receipt of all abstracts, and +will let authors know whether or not the paper is accepted by no later +than Friday 24th June. One clear month will then be allowed for preparation +of the full-text papers, which must therefore be submitted no later than +Friday 22nd July, and these papers will then be passed on to referees who +are knowledgeable in the chosen subject area: the referee and author then +have one further month in which to agree and produce a `best possible' version +of the paper. The final version of the paper must be submitted by Friday +20th August. + +Papers may be prepared in either Plain TeX or LaTeX, and a copy of `EuroTeX.Sty +' +will be sent to all who submit abstracts; this will be a direct derivative of +TUGproc.Sty, and authors wishing to make an early start on marking-up their tex +t +may safely base their work on the current release of TUGproc. In order to +ensure a uniform appearance in the Proceedings, authors are urged _not_ to make +changes to the default fonts, leading, etc. + +If you would like to present a paper, please complete the e-form below, +and return it to the Programme Committee, EuroTeX '94: + +C/o Jola Szelatynska, University of Torun, Poland + E-mail: Jola Szelatynska <EuroTeX-Papers@Cc.Uni.Torun.Pl> + +Yes, I hope to attend EuroTeX '94 and would like to propose the following +paper(s); please add my name and address to your mailing list and keep me +posted of developments. + +Name: _____________________________________________________________________ + +Address: __________________________________________________________________ + + __________________________________________________________________ + + __________________________________________________________________ + + __________________________________________________________________ + +E-mail: __________________________________________________________________ + +Phone: __________________________________________________________________ + +Fax: __________________________________________________________________ + + + +Title and brief abstract of paper: ________________________________________ + +___________________________________________________________________________ + +___________________________________________________________________________ + +___________________________________________________________________________ + +___________________________________________________________________________ + +Expected duration including questions (max: 1 1/2 hours) __________________ + +(Please note that you may submit proposals for more than one paper; the + Programme Committee reserve the right to accept or reject individual papers, + and to accept papers but to reduce the time allowed from that requested). + +------------------------------ + + UK TeX Archive at Aston University + >>> ftp.tex.ac.uk <<< + + Internet: + ftp.tex.ac.uk [134.151.79.32] -- anonymous ftp, gopher, NFS + For anonymous ftp, login: anonymous, password: <your-e-mail-address> + +\section Files of Interest + + tex-archive/00Contents + tex-archive/FILES.bydate + tex-archive/FILES.byname + tex-archive/FILES.byname_diff + tex-archive/FILES.bysize + tex-archive/MAP + tex-archive/README.archive-features + tex-archive/README.site-commands + tex-archive/README.uploads + +\section Digests + + This year's UKTeX back issues are stored in the archive in directory + tex-archive/digests/uktex/94 + This year's TeXhax back issues are stored in the archive in directory + tex-archive/digests/texhax/94 + Latest TeXhax: V94 #03 + +\section Media Distributions + Postal addresses are given below. + +\subsection Washington Unix TeX distribution tape + Our latest copy of May/June 1991 contains: + TeX 3.14, LaTeX 2.09, Metafont 2.7, plus many utilities + suitable for Unix 4.2/4.3BSD & System V + tar format, 1 file (36Mb) + + Send One Quarter-Inch Cartridge, QIC-120 or QIC-150 format + (DC600A or DC6150) with envelope AND stamps for return + postage to David Osborne (address below); due to currency + exchange, this service is offered only within the UK. + +\section TeX Implementations for Small Computers + +\subsection PC and Mac disks + + From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an + emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh.
