Sorry for the delay.  The examples are being rewritten to conform to the
International Standard version of HyTime by volunteers who have many
other things to do.  Work on the examples has been proceeding apace for
the past couple of weeks, so I have high hopes that we'll be doing the
long-awaited Newsletter mailing very soon (in glacial terms, anyway):
January? Your membership has not expired due to the delay in publishing
the Newsletter.  Starting January 1, 1993, the membership year will
coincide with the calendar year.

The HyTime IS was finally published by ISO in Geneva on November 1.  You
can obtain a copy (1) preferably from your country's national ISO member
body, or (2) from SGML SIGhyper as a service to its members, under an
ANSI/ISO license.  Copies of CD 10743 (SMDL) are available from SGML
SIGhyper, as well as from the GCA and your country's ISO member body.
Regrettably, the HyTime and SMDL standards documents are not available
in electronic form.  If you wish to obtain copies of these documents
from SGML SIGhyper, please add together the appropriate amounts from the

reflect the changes in the HyTime DIS,  so  there  is  currently  considerable
