proposals. Include a WordPerfect 6.x compatible or ASCII disk copy of
your work identified with your name, affiliation and paper title when
submitting by regular mail.  If your abstract includes symbols that
are difficult to transcribe, a disk copy is especially important.
         Limit your abstract to 250 words (c. 1 page).  Abstracts of
accepted papers will be included in the conference program.  However,
because our staff is strictly volunteer, we can not promise to include
abstracts which are longer than the 250 word limit.
