			LOST SOULS

Over the years, many items of mail have been returned by Australia Post
indicating that the address list for reviewers has become just a little
out of date.

A major update was undertaken in 1991, and items with the following addressees
and addresses have been returned since then.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the following - erstwhile reviewers and their
last known addresses - would assist us greatly by notifying their current
addresses. They may learn something to their advantage - the opportunity to
review books once again for the ACJ.

Please notify in the usual way (see Guidelines for the Operation of
aus.acs.books)

Subject: Use of index to reviews published on aus.acs.books
Organization: Prentice Centre, University of Queensland

Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 06:42:24 GMT


		   HOW TO USE AUS.ACS.BOOKS
			AND ITS INDEX

Aus.acs.books has been established to assist in the working of the Book
Review section of the Australian Computer Journal, Australia's national
serious computing journal. Readers are referred to a separate posting on
the working of the Book Review Section, in recruiting reviewers, and
in publishing reviews.

1. How to use the index.

Accompanying this document is an index of reviews most recently posted to
the newsgroup.

Each review is identified by a number of the form 'bxxxi.r', where xxx is a
three digit number, e.g. b201.r.

The accompanying index contains an entry corresponding to each number giving
a full formal reference to each review. If you feel a particular review
appeals to you - judged by the abbreviated title appearing in the subject
entry on your newsreader, save the index and look up the full title via
the bxxx.r number.

Probably the best thing to do is first of all to save the index, then make
a mental list of those of interest, and then access the index and review.


2. Refer to Ground rules

As stated above, there is a separate posting detailing the operation of
aus.acs.books more formally. Readers are advised to refer to it.

3. Frequency of publication.

	Operation of aus.acs.books document:
		will be posted regularly for readers reminder and information.
	How to use the index document:
		will also be posted regularly.
	Index:
		will be posted with each new set of reviews.
	Reviews:
		will be posted as available.
	List of Books Available for Review:
		will be posted at irregular intervals as needed.

The above constitute the set of documents which will constitute the 
"aus.acs.books working set".

4. Remember

The following segment of the "Operation" document re contact with the
Associate Editor is reiterated:

GOSIP STATEMENT OF DIRECTION

The Information Exchange Steering Committee (IESC) has been reviewing
experience both in Commonwealth agencies and overseas in implementing OSI
standards as specified in GOSIP. This is with a view to determining
whether any amendment to policy is required and to respond to suggestions
that the government needs to give a clearer statement of direction for
GOSIP.

The attached draft GOSIP Statement of Direction has been prepared by the
IESC's Open Systems Subcommittee (OSSC) in consultation with the GOSIP
Manager at DAS and the Australian Information Industries Association
(AIIA). It provides a restatement of the objectives, policies,
responsibilities and direction for the ongoing development and
implementation of the international OSI standards as encompassed in the
Australian Government OSI Profile (GOSIP).

A copy of the draft Statement has been enclosed [see note below] for your
information and review. We would welcome any comments you wish to make to
OSSC through myself at the above address by close of business February 12
1993. I can be contacted on ph 06-263 3463 or fax 06-263 2466. Amendments
will be incorporated into the document prior to its planned official
release at an IESC sponsored seminar in Canberra on 29 March 1993.

Two aliens were visiting Earth to research the local customs. They split
up so that they could learn more in the time allowed.

When they met to share their knowledge the first alien told of a religious
ceremony he/she/it had seen.

"I went to a large green field shaped like a meteorite crater. Around the
edges several thousand worshipers gatherer. Then two priests walk to the
centre of the field to a rectangular area and hammer six spears into the
ground, three at each end. Then eleven more priests walk out, clad in white
robes. Then two high priests wielding clubs walk to the centre and one of
the other piests starts throwing a red orb at the ones with the clubs."

"Gee," replied the other alien, "what happens next?"

"Then it begins to rain."

This line was posted to this newsgroup a couple of weeks ago and came from

Keen fisherman from Cairns invited his fishing guide from up at Cooktown

"Why?" asked the fisherman.

"Why not?" said the guide.  "I laugh at *them* when they come up here."

perhaps the person who claims it didnt happen missed it because

I dont know which game you were watching, but I vividly remember gower saying that in the second final.  I can remember this because Steve Waugh bowled three deliveries
after after the incident, which made me burst into rapturous laughter, because I
thaught that Gower had just said the comment because he wanted to, and he thaught
three balls to go was close enough to two.  I was then told by someone I was watching
the game with that one of the balls was a no ball, so the comment was not as funny as
I thaught.  But Im sure he said it.

Greg - 
	if you`re going to follow Peters advice on loudly saying PLONK to
anyone who posts a non-joke, I'd recommend you clean up his canned reply to 
make it a bit more meaningful. For starters, "repost" is spelt either
"riposte" or "followup", depending on what message you're trying to convey.

Also, I must say that "If you must still insist on showing off your incredible
knowledge (EGO)" has a rather nerdish and sub-literate feel to it.
