Dear Colleague ---

Are you thinking of coming to EuroTeX '94?  (dates and details are appended,
for those who have seen no previous announcement of this conference).  If so,
would you like to present a paper?

The themes of this year's EuroTeX conference are

        Principles;
	Practice;
	Progress;
	POLAND!

and papers are now urgently being sought.  We are hoping to follow the
example set at Prague in 1992 and Aston in 1993, by making the proceedings
available actually at the conference, and in order for this to be feasible,
it is necessary to establish some fairly strict guidelines for submission.

Abstracts are wanted _now_, and must be submitted no later than Friday
10th June; the committee will acknowledge receipt of all abstracts, and
will let authors know whether or not the paper is accepted by no later
than Friday 24th June.  One clear month will then be allowed for preparation
of the full-text papers, which must therefore be submitted no later than
Friday 22nd July, and these papers will then be passed on to referees who
are knowledgeable in the chosen subject area: the referee and author then
have one further month in which to agree and produce a `best possible' version
of the paper.  The final version of the paper must be submitted by Friday
20th August.

Papers may be prepared in either Plain TeX or LaTeX, and a copy of `EuroTeX.Sty'
will be sent to all who submit abstracts; this will be a direct derivative of
TUGproc.Sty, and authors wishing to make an early start on marking-up their text
may safely base their work on the current release of TUGproc.  In order to
ensure a uniform appearance in the Proceedings, authors are urged _not_ to make
changes to the default fonts, leading, etc.

If you would like to present a paper, please complete the e-form below,
and return it to the Programme Committee, EuroTeX '94:

EuroTeX will take place at Sobieszewo on an idyllic island off the coast of
Gdansk in Poland.  The conference will run from Monday September 26th to Friday
September 30th, and the _maximum_ cost (based on two persons sharing) will not
exceed $260-00 / sterling 175-00 / DM 450-00.  Those arriving early on Monday
will be able to take part in a guided tour of the old town of Gdansk, whilst
Tuesday to Friday will be packed with talks and tutorials on TeX and related
topics.  Subject to demand, there will also be a series of TeX-related courses
during the days following the conference proper.

All delegates will be accommodated in a single building, and for the whole week
will be cut off from civilisation: no distractions, no need to leave the
island: everything will be provided.  For those unable to sustain the pace,
quiet meditative walks along the shore searching for amber will provide the
ideal opportunity for therapeutic meditation.
