\TeXline\ has never before appeared at a \TeX\ or TUG conference. Up to
now it has been available only `by request'. The opportunity of
distributing at the first TUG conference in Europe (the first
TUG conference outside North America) proved too great a lure. This
issue was assembled to be produced and distributed at Cork. The issue
produced at Cork will be followed by the `regular' version which will be sent
to the `regular' mailing list. If you are on the regular list, and have
been at Cork, you will not receive two issues. They will be identical in
content.
The newsletter has survived for a few years now, and seems to get bigger
each time. This edition is about as big as the last one, and yet was
produced in only three or four months. The last edition, number 10,
took a full year to put together. It is hoped (not very seriously) to be
able to average about two and a half to three editions a year. To some
extent this depends on you. Glancing through this edition it will be
obvious that the editorial policy is lax. \TeXline\ prints most anything
that is arguably \TeX-like. We would like to describe this as
`eclectic', but more realistically it is just adventitious. We've only
ever turned one article down (mainly because it would have required too
much work to make it intelligible).
If you want to receive \TeXline, there are some stringent conditions.
Money is not enough. In general, new subscribers outside the UK are added
without much quibble. Within the UK there are only two ways to obtain
\TeXline. One, write an article; two, join the UK \TeX\ Users Group. At
present, until the UK Group gets its act together and produces its own
newsletter, their members receive the newsletter. This was not an easy
decision. We would much prefer that all new subscribers did so by
tendering articles for publication. In truth the editor would prefer to
be an editor and not to write the whole thing! So far the costs of
\TeXline\ have been borne by various unmentionable means. This should not
prevent offers of support. Advertising in \TeXline\ is free. But we would
expect an advertiser to share some of the costs in some way. Everything
is negotiable.

\centerline{\bf Hold the Presses!}
\smallskip\noindent
Moments before we were due to go to press it was brought to our attention
that `xxencode' is already in use as the name of an encoding scheme.
Clearly the name used in the {\tt tuglib} article will have to be
changed. Rather than make a hasty and precipitate decision on the spur of
the moment, the new revised name is not being decided now. Watch the
columns of \TeXline, TUGboat, or the help system of {\tt tuglib} for the
favoured name.
