Subject: REXX Symposium Call for Participation

The REXX Symposium attendees would like more participation from the AREXX
community.  I am only posting this here (it's my best guess for the
appropriate place) so please pass it on to others who may be interested.
We've heard that the Amiga has the best multimedia apps, so please come
dazzle us with REXX and multimedia.

And the planning committee will consider requests for student registration
fees.

Announcement and Call for Participation

REXX Symposium for Developers and Users

The REXX Symposium provides a forum for information and ideas and an
opportunity to interact personally with others interested in using and
enjoying programming in REXX.

The Symposium consists of plenary sessions and parallel sessions for papers,
status reports, and review talks.  Presentations focus on using REXX on a wide
variety of computing platforms and operating systems.  Of particular interest
are unique applications, REXX tools and function libraries, REXX interfaces
with other languages, user support, and education.  Author Mike Cowlishaw and
other implementors will be present and participate in the sessions.

Talks will 20 to 45 minutes.  A paper may be submitted for a poster
