[please pardon me if this has already been covered.  apparently there
was some discussion in this group on a related subject a while back...
but, the articles have expired at my site]

question: is there any way of getting (electronically) abstracts or
tables of contents of ieee publications? 

of particular interest would be tables of contents of current journals. 

my company library subscribes to dozens of ieee journals.  having the
tables of contents available in electronic format would make them
considerably more useful to us.

how about comp.org.ieee.toc?   wishful thinking, i suppose...

please mail replies and i'll post a summary.

	Sorry for the waste of bandwidth...
	My name is Luis Mendez, student  at the Information Networking
Institute at Carnegie Mellon and I am working on a survey for an
Industrial Administration course.  The purpose of the survey is to
collect information regarding the characteristics that industrial
customers look for in a firm from which they plan to buy a product or
service and how those characteristics affect the selection process.  As
area of study, I have chosen computer hardware firms.  It is of my
interest to learn what characteristics are considered by corporations
when deciding from which firm it is desirable to buy computer hardware. 
If any of this netnews' readers is related to hardware purchasing at any
company and would like to participate on this survey, please send me an
email with a fax number where I can reach you, and I will fax you back
the questions and all the information concerning the survey.  Any help
you can bring me  will be really appreciated.  Copies of the team's
final report will be available upon request.  Thanks for your help.

In the April 1992 edition of IEEE Spectrum, page 8G, there is an appeal to
IEEE members to write to their senators and representative to ask them to
sponsor H. R. 2390, the Pension Coverage and Portability Improvement act of
1991. 

I encourage you to do this because portable pensions can play a vital
role in ensuring a comfortable retirement for engineers who are forced
to switch jobs because of "down sizing" or bankruptcy --- and the additional
pension funds this measure would create can help provide investment capital
for industrial expansion.

If you need assistance identifying your Members of Congress, look in your

			Call For Papers

			SUN USER GROUP 
		    Tenth Annual Conference
		      December 8-10, 1992 
		      San Jose, California


		       OPERATING SYSTEMS:
		SOLARIS 2.0/SVR4 and Alternatives



The Sun User Group is pleased to announce its Tenth Annual Conference 
and Exhibit, which will address the current state of the Sun Operating 
System. Technical papers and presentations concerning both Solaris 
and alternates to it, as well as other topics of interest to the Sun/SPARC 
community, are invited. Manufacturers of computer equipment and software 
based on SPARC/SunOS technology are encouraged to participate with 
conference presentations, as well as in the associated exhibition 
which will be operated by Publications and Communications, Inc.


Topics on which we are soliciting papers:
 	Solaris 2.0: What's in it for You
	Solaris 2.0 on Intel
	Other OS for SPARC
	System Administration - beginning and advanced tools
	Printing and Multimedia
	Programming and Development Environments
	Suns in the Office and the Home 
	Realtime and Non-Realtime Development and Research


There will also be a Technical Product track. Vendors are invited 
to describe the compelling technical advantages of their products, 
with references to current and new material. Papers which merely profile 
a company's product are poorly received and therefore have little 
chance of being accepted for presentation.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts (750 to 1000 
words) and be sufficiently complete to allow the committee to understand 
and evaluate the submission. Abstracts should include:

 	1. Author name(s), postal and e-mail address(es), and telephone 
number(s).
	2. Title of the paper
	3. Presenter name(s), postal and e-mail address(es), and 
telephone number(s).
	4. Time needed for presentation/questions
 	   (slots are available in lengths of 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes)
	5. Audio-visual equipment requirements.

There will be a cash award for the best student paper. Be sure to 
indicate WITH YOUR SUBMISSION your student status.

Authors whose submissions are accepted will receive instructions for 
the preparation of final papers. All presentations REQUIRE 
a paper submission for inclusion in the conference proceedings.  One 
presenter for each paper accepted will receive free conference registration.

The Usenix people are impressively quick in their response to mail,
in my experience.  I've been startled at how quickly conference proceedings
and the like have shown up in response to an electronic-mail order.
I wish I could get response like that from other publishers.

I've seen posts like this before and I have responded by sending in a
copy of my student ID.

Is that all there is to it?  What is the criteria for applying for such
grants?  I'd like to hear from someone who has successfully received

I totally agree!

For example I'm waiting since months (!) for proceedings - of the IMUG

On the other side: I got even old Computing System journals very quick.

You might try American-Uncial, it is available in one of the windows-3
font groups on most of the pc archive servers (I use garbo.uwasa.fi).
I can't remember specifically which file it is in, I believe one of
the atmfnts?.zip files. You get a uncial.pfb file, which you can pop
in your psfonts directory for Ventura, and I can send you the vfm file
if you need it.

lots. But my problem is I want to use some of these TT fonts on my IIGS,
and they are in compactor pro or deluxe stuffit. I can unpack many
compression schemes, but none of these! Is there a) any other archives
that have the latest and greatest in standard formats, or b) a compactor

which are some kind of postscript fonts.

i would appriciate if i could recieve information regarding what these exactly
are, and where i might be able to obtain other compatible fonts, mainly hebrew 
fonts.
i am interested in comercial and shareware information about the above

They do, indeed.  Thanks for fixing them to work with ATM under
windows 3, it works great now!

BTW, there is a shareware package called WinGreek (look for wgreek13.zip
on the archives) that, in addition to some other things for Greek and
Hebrew, includes a program to enable right-to-left input under Windows.
It works well with Jonathan's fonts.  I think it also has Greek and Hebrew
dot-matrix fonts for Epson compatibles only.

I recently downloaded a lot of fonts from umichigan.  I then uncompressed,
unstuffed, and installed these fonts on a Quadra running System 7.  The bitmaps
were installed by dragging the suitcases into the system file, not by using
Suitcase or something else related to System 6.  Now that I have used the speed
and power of the Quadra to print these all out, I would like to install them
in suitcases on a Mac II running System 6.0.5.  But the bitmaps are no longer
recognizable as suitcases!  What do I do?  Is there a way to get the fonts
back into suitcase form???
