\bu{\sc dante} will hold the 8th ({\it sic}) Annual Meeting
of German \TeX\ Users at the Catholic University of
Eichstaett on Wednesday 11th October--Friday 13th
October, 1989. Since the notification was distributed
over various electronic networks, we can safely assume
that non-German \TeX\ users may attend too, but the
meeting will be conducted exclusively in German. There is
a general meeting on the Wednesday afternoon, tutorials
on the Thursday, and papers and discussion groups on the
Thursday and Friday. Busy, busy (as we Bokonists say).
No fees were mentioned, nor arrangements for
accomodation. Contact Joachim Lammarsch, or

\bu {\sl CALS in Europe} was held
at the British Standards Institute
in London on July 14th. It was
planned to inaugurate a Special
Interest Group on CALS in Europe.
CALS -- Computer-aided Acquisition
and Logistic Support -- is a
strategy developed by the US DoD.
CALS compliance is required for
contract bids to the DoD. It is a
strategy rather than a standard,
but embraces four current standards
-- {\sc iges}, \sgml, Group 4 fax
and {\sc cgm}. A readable (short)
account of CALS and its
implications was published in {\sl
Desktop Publishing Today}, 4(5),
1989, pp.40--41. Contact:
