The date of June 10th is a "firm date", since we want to have all articles in a final form ready to be printed by the time of the Conference, and therefore need them to go to the printer by late June. As a consequence final papers not received by June 10 will not appear in the Proceedings Issue of TUGboat.

Q: Regarding Memorandum Class(es) for LaTeX2e. (short form) Is there a popular/standard document class for creating memos with LaTeX2e (and the AMS-LaTeX 1.2 add-ons) using TeXtures? (long form) 10 years ago I wrote my own "memo" style using the standard "article" style as a starting point. Main features included: - double column option - 10pt, 11pt, 12pt options - titlesection (created by \maketitle) sorta like MEMORANDUM To: ... From: ... Subject: ... Date: ... Copies To: ... _______________________ - RHS header with + short form contents of the "To:" field, + contents of "Date:" field, and + Page x of xx. - footer with copyright info. Its been great, but now I'd like to upgrade to LaTeX2e while taking advantage of all the nifty stuff offered by AMS-LaTeX. 1. Do I have to reinvent this or does something similar exist? 2. If so, should I write a new class or just a package? 3. Should this new class/package be more related to the "article" class or the "amsart" class? Thanks very much! ______________ Dr. Robert D.
