\begin{article}
%This is for you Carol\dots
The recent headline in the \emph{Financial Times},
``Hewlett adds to worries in high-techs'' referred,
of course, to Hewlett~Packard (no relation, unfortunately).
Some articles in this \BV\ are high-\TeX\ but some are
no-\TeX -at-all, covering the wider areas of electronic
publishing and other ways of conveying maths notation.

This \BV\ contains a complete report of the \emph{Portable
Documents: What Next?} meeting. The summary of the meeting
is complemented by the papers on `Euromath' and `Hyper-G'
written by the people who gave those papers. The paper on
maths and \acro{HTML} was presented at the \ukt\ meeting on 20~March.

On a technical note, I used em\TeX, in its `huge' version
running on an \acro{IBM} (Pentium) \acro{PC} to process the \LaTeX\ files,
and \acro{DVIPS} together with \acro{GS}view (the Windows Ghostscript viewer)
for previewing.

This issue of \BV\ would not have been possible without the
generous help that I received from the past editors and guest
editors,
Sebastian~Rahtz, Robin~Fairbairns, David~Carlisle and
Malcolm~Clark: they have my sincere thanks.
As there is still no permanent editor for \BV, you can
work out who is likely to produce the next issue by comparing the
list of committee members with the names of those who have
already taken their turn. I'll just welcome him with the
old clich\'{e}, come on in, the water's lovely!
