            Take Saratoga-Sunnyvale exit off 280 (that's 85 South -
            NOT North), turn onto 85 South into Cupertino. Turn left
            into Mariani Avenue, then right onto parking lot. Be there
            before 7 p.m. - visitors need to be escorted into the

An overview of the services available on UNIX systems to program language-
independant applications. The presentation will concentrate on standardized
interfaces, namely those defined in POSIX.1 (I.E.E.E. standard 1003.1-1990),
ANSI-C (ANSI X3.159-1988), and XPG3 (X/Open Portability Guide, issue 3).
These standards all define a set of C language functions for writing
internationalized applications. These standards have a strong European
language bias; most of the current work in this area is concentrating on
defining Asian language support to these interfaces.

An overview of the general functionality, and descriptions of the C
language routines will be presented. Current work by the ISO C work group,
and character codeset representations will also be discussed. There will
be time for a question/answer session.

The International Macintosh Users Group (IMUG) is a forum organized to
promote greater use of languages other than English on the major computer
platforms - Macintosh, IBM-compatibles, etc.

Topics of interest discussed at IMUG meetings (every third Thursday of the
month) include:
    fonts, character sets, and encoding schemes
    development, localization, and marketing / distribution issues
    specific products available for various languages, including
        programs for learning foreign languages.

Marney Morris, Animatrix

TITLE:  Practical Interactive Design

ABSTRACT:

Animatrix is an interactive design company.  Since 1984 they have created
over 250 projects, all based on the theory that computers should be self
explanatory.

Although the visual treatment looks very different for each client,
Animatrix's work is unified by the following principle - to always design
for the end user.  Their focus is on making computers intuitive through the
use of visual logic, human factors, task analysis, and work flow.

Marney Morris, the president of Animatrix, will be presenting work created
for clients such as The Limited, Domino's Pizza, Charles Schwab, TV Guide,
Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe.

*********************

Marney Morris grew up in Palo Alto.  She earned a degree in Science at the
University of California, Davis, and a degree in Fine Art at the University
of California at Santa Cruz, but credits a class with composer John Cage as
the most influential in her education.

The October meeting of the Bay Area FREE will be held on Wednesday,
October 14, at 7p.m. at our Santa Clara location [please email for
directions].

Our guest speaker will be Trish Williams, director of Child Quest.
Child Quest is a non-profit agency dedicated to working with the
parents of, and helping to find, missing, exploited, and abused children.

Ms. Williams will be addressing, among other things, the issue of
kidnapping by non-custodial parents.  This is a very important and
timely topic.  Often the last resort of a person who has lost custody,
particularly if it is the mother, is to snatch the child/ren and to go
underground.

I hope to see a large turnout for Ms. Williams, who has agreed to take
time away from a very busy schedule in order to spend the evening with
us.

As always, second mates are welcome, and please feel free to bring
munchies.

  Please join us at a jointly sponsored meeting of the OSF/Motif
  Developers Group and Drinking Society and the BayCHI OSF/Motif BOF.
  The meeting is at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, October 21

  For this meeting we welcome Luke Teyssier, who will present "Using
  ADA with the X11 Windowing System ".  Luke is a software engineer
  at ESL, a subsidiary of TRW, where he has been tasked with developing 
  GRAMMI, Generated Reusable Ada Man Machine Interface.  GRAMMI is used
  for creating X11 based Graphical User Interfaces in Ada.

  In use at ESL since 1989,  GRAMMI has been adopted as the user interface
  tool of choice by over 30 software engineers.  While the cost to
  train all of these engineers in X11 would be prohibitive, GRAMMI
  allows Ada programmers with only a cursory knowledge of X11 to
  create powerful user interfaces with  minimal coding.  GRAMMI is
  scheduled to be released commercially by the end of 1992.
  
  The meeting location is at NCD's facilities, 339 N. Bernardo in 
  Mountain View, directly off of the Central Expressway.

  development issues.  The topics discussed include: releases and
  features of the Motif toolkit, X11, UI builders, and products
  developed using Motif.

  Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month, at 7pm at
  NCD's facility at 339 N. Bernardo St. in Mountain View.  North
  Bernardo Street is located on the Central Expressway, between

Larry Stockmeyer, IBM Almaden will speak on "The Complexity of Tracking a 
Mobile User"

Motivated by the problem of accessing an object which can change
location in a distributed network, Awerbuch and Peleg defined the
theoretical problem of on-line tracking of a mobile user.  An input to a
distributed algorithm for this problem is a sequence of requests which
are invoked at nodes of the network.  There are two types of requests:
the Move request for moving the user from one node to another, and the
Find request for sending a message to the user.  The algorithm must
process the requests on-line in a distributed manner.  For example, when
a node issues a Find request, the part of the algorithm residing at that
node will not know the current location of the user if it was not
informed during the most recent Move.  The efficiency of a distributed
on-line algorithm can be given by its competitive ratio, which measures
the cost of the algorithm (in this case, the communication cost)
relative to the cost of a global off-line algorithm which has complete
knowledge of the entire request sequence in advance.  The talk will
first cover the definition of the mobile user problem and review known
upper bounds on competitive ratio for particular networks and general
networks.  We will then cover new results showing, for certain classes
of networks including hypercubes, that no on-line algorithm for this
problem can have constant competitive ratio, that is, constant
independent of the size of the network.  This is joint work with Noga
Alon, Gil Kalai, and Moty Ricklin.

One of the main barriers for people using ideographic characters, mostly 
in Asia, to access computers is the keyboard-based input methods.  However, 
this will soon change with the advancement in pen-based computer technology. 
New opportunities and market are bound to come with the rising economic 
powers in those areas. In this talk, Clement will give an overview on the 
landscape of pen-based computing in the Asia/Pacific market. Places like 
Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Korea and Singapore will be covered. 


About the speaker: 
Mr. Clement Lam is currently the Business Development Manager,
Asia/Pacific for GO Corporation. He joined GO in Feb. 92 and is
responsible for all PenPoint OEM and business development activities in 
the Asia/Pacific areas outside Japan.  Before joining GO, he was the vice 
president of engineering at Advanced Vision Research, a scanner company 
in San Jose. He helped the company successfully introduce to the market 
two new generations of desktop color scanners. Prior to AVR, he had held 
various technical management positions with several high technology companies 
in Silicon Valley and Canada.  Mr. Clement holds B. Eng. and M. Eng. degrees 
in Engineering Physiscs from McMatser University in Hamliton, Ontaro, Canada. 

Direction:
Wyse is located at 3471 N. First St., around the corner of River Oaks and

Just a side note: based on extensive anecdotal evidence, over 80% of all
relationships which started on the Net are older woman/younger man.
There appears to be no good theory for why this occurs, but it is good
supporting evidence for Brett's suggestion to go outside the "normal age
bracket".

Me?  I'm perfectly happy with my ProblemOlderWoman.

Oh, and Brett?  Don't set the followup to 'alt.test'.  That just makes
