TeX in Context.
--- -- -------

That's the focus of our meeting this year, an opportunity to pick up
invaluable skills and information about TeX's many environments.  We'll
look at macro packages, editing tools, and fonts; tour the archives,
and explore graphics and database capabilities.  And we'll look at such
innovations at TeX for the blind, high performance TeX on the Mac, and
VIZ: a programming language for typesetting and graphics.
