This last issue of 1993 is the first to appear under the new +scheme, and I hope that members will start to `notice' \BV\ a little +more and start contributing articles. {\em Please note the following +schedule of copy deadlines}: + +\def\Thead#1{\makebox[1.7cm][c]{\rotatebox{45}{{\raggedright +\parbox{2.4cm}{#1}}}}} +\begin{quote} +\begin{tabular}{llll} +\em \rotatebox{45}{Issue}& +\em \Thead{Submit material for publication}& +\em \Thead{Submit last-minute notices}& +\em \Thead{PostScript file sent to production team}\\ +4.1&Jan 10&Jan 17&Jan 31\\ +4.2&Mar 21&Mar 28&Apr 4\\ +4.3&May 23&May 30&Jun 6\\ +4.4&Aug 15&Aug 22&Aug 29\\ +4.5&Oct 17&Oct 24&Oct 31\\ +\end{tabular} +\end{quote} + +\BV\ regularly publishes articles answering common \TeX\ questions, +and these are available as technical notes to \ukt\ members.

Malcolm has an unrivalled +knowledge of happenings and publications in the world of computers and +typesetting and will share his discoveries with us. + +Each issue of \BV\ will have a special theme, +although articles on any +\TeX-related subject are always welcome.
