+\section{Baskerville}
+Articles may be submitted via electronic mail to
+\texttt{baskerville@tex.ac.uk}, or on MSDOS-compatible discs, to
+Sebastian Rahtz, Elsevier Science Ltd, The Boulevard, Langford Lane,
+Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, to whom any correspondence concerning \BV\
+should also be addressed. Back issues from the previous 12 months may
+be ordered from \ukt\ for \pounds2 each; earlier issues are archived
+on \textsc{ctan} in \texttt{usergrps/uktug}.
+
+\section{Book Discounts for \protect\ukt\ members}
+We have arrangements with Addison-Wesley for
+their well-known \TeX-related publications, and with International
+Thomson Publishing to supply any of the very excellent O'Reilly \&
+Associates Inc.\ series of books to members.
+
+The agreed list of books, together with the discounted (at least 20\%)
+price, is distributed occasionally with \BV, but is always available
+from the Treasurer.
+
+Please add \pounds1.50 for the first book and 50p for each book after
+the first on the same order, for despatch to a single address
+
+We are only allowed to offer this service to \textbf{current} members
+of the \ukt\ and/or members of \acro{TUG}. Please send your order
+and cheque (in \acro{UK} \pounds) to Peter Abbott. Make cheques
+payable to `\acro{UKTUG}' please. All books will be routed through
+\ukt. \emph{In all cases} please notify Peter Abbott by email, phone,
+fax or letter when books are delivered. This means that provided the
+book(s) are in stock, it will normally take at least a week from
+receipt of order to delivery of the book(s).
+
+\section{Obtaining \TeX\ from CTAN}
+
+The \acro{UK} \TeX\ Archive on \texttt{ftp.tex.ac.uk} is part of the
+\acro{CTAN} (Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network) collaborating
+network of archives on the Internet organised by the \TeX\ Users
+Group.
+
+%The \acro{CTAN} archives run an enhanced \emph{ftp} server which
+%supports dynamic compression, uncompression, and archive-creation
+%options. Fetch the top-level file {\tt README.archive-features} for
+%information. The server also supports site-defined commands to assist
+%you. Please read {\tt README.site-commands} for a brief overview.
+
+For interfaces and catalogues of CTAN, you are referred to Graham
+Williams' \emph{\TeX{} and \LaTeX{} Catalogue} which is available from
+\acro{CTAN} as \path|help/Catalogue/catalogue.html|; other interfaces
+are listed in \url{http://www.tug.org/interest.html}.
+
+Please report any problems with \acro{CTAN} archives via email to
+\texttt{ctan@urz.Uni-Heidelberg.de}.
+
+
+\subsection{Obtaining \TeX\ on CD-ROM}
+\ukt, in collaboration with \acro{GUT}enberg, \acro{TUG},
+\acro{NTG} and \acro{DANTE}, have produced \TeX{} Live, a plug-and-play
+\acro{CD}-\acro{ROM} for Unix, Amiga and Windows based on the Web2c
+\TeX{} setup. As it is formatted according to \acro{ISO} 9660, the
+platform-independent files can, in principle, be read on all operating
+systems which can deal with that format, or Microsoft Joliet extensions.
+The \acro{CD} is available free of charge to members of \ukt\ and to
+non-members at \pounds2.
+
+Complete DOS, Windows 32 and Macintosh implementations are also
+available as packages on the \acro{CD}; floppy disk sets will now be
+supplied only on special request.
+
+\section{Future meetings of \ukt}
+The next meeting for members of \ukt{} will be in Oxford, on Monday
+18th May. The title is \textit{Multiple use of
+digital documents}. It will discuss some of the problems and opportunities
+involved in using the same source file for several purposes. We hope
+to go from the everyday and mundane, namely the production of journals
+and books from author supplied compuscripts, to the advanced and
+esoteric, namely using \TeX{} as an adjunct to electronic publishing.
+We also hope to take in technical documentation along the way.
+
+Plans are also afoot for the meeting associated to the AGM. This
+ will be in Cambridge, on Monday 21 September. The title is
+\textit{\TeX{} in its diversity}. If you have done something with
+\TeX{} that you think others might be interested in hearing about,
+please let the organisers know, because they are looking for
+speakers. In addition, if there is sufficient interest, workshops
+and training will be organised for the next day.
+
+Finally, both in Oxford and Cambridge there are tentative plans to
+hold a least a trial local meeting for \TeX{} users. If you are
+interested please contact Kim Roberts or Jonathan Fine respectively.
+
+The May meeting is being organised by Kim Roberts, Roy Everett and
+Jonathan Fine. The September meeting is being organised by Robin
+Fairbairns, Martyn Johnson and Jonathan Fine . For further information
+please contact one of these people, or visit the \ukt{} Web site. In
+addition, with this issue there should be some flyers.
