Hi:

I would like to thank all the contributors to this effort. Please inform
your friends here and in Romania. Taking into consideration the bottom
line of the balance sheet, FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS are kindly requested
and accepted on a continuous basis. Please send your cheques to my home
address

I would urge those of you who have participated to involve other people.
We would appreciate especially the widening of financial involvement of
the romanian community in Europe. Please work harder at making known this
effort in Europe. Inform other people concerning the romanian newsgroups and
e-mail groups on the internet.

In terms of software, I would like to mention two major events:

- Ted Lungu ftp-ed and shipped the latest SLS linux distribution (30
diskettes) to IPB, where is eagerly awaited, taking into considerations
its features. Dan Grecu, Romulus Vlasie and Florin Manolache have
already shipped it to Cluj, Timisoara and Iasi. We know it already works
in Timisoara.

- Edward Nicolescu (68 diskettes ) and an anonymous contributor (17
diskettes) have ftp-ed and created a master copy of the X11 R5, the
latest release of the X windows system from the MIT X Consortium.

In terms of books, I was able, based on your contributions, to ship lots
of them (20 or so) to Bucharest, to Prof Bodea. I have to say openly
that I preferred to concentrate everything in one place, instead of
distributing copies all over Romania. Now that he Bucharest distribution
center is very well provided in this respect,  we can focus on the other
centers, based on your financial feedack and the requirements from them. 
Of course, we expect that the books in Bucharest will be made available
to everybody, but it's better to have originals of important books
everywhere.


And now, this is the current status:
