1. Suggested Page Limits:
    For invited speakers - 12 pages.
    For contributed oral and poster presentations - 5 pages.
    
Space is expected to be at a premium, so little flexibility exists in the
allotted page limits.  Requests in excess of that above will be handled on a
case-by-case basis.

2. Manuscript Deadline:

    All manuscripts must be received by October 23, 1998, in order to be
    included in the proceedings.


     INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION

We are assuming that all authors have access to the usual LaTeX and dvips 
document preparation software.  If these tools are not available to you, 
please contact the Editors.
 
  __ Get the formatting and sample document files from mso.anu.edu.au 
     as follows:
	   % ftp merlin.anu.edu.au (150.203.89.16)
	ftp> [log in as anonymous]
	ftp> [use your email address as the password]
	ftp> cd pub/tss/Proceedings
        ftp> binary      [don't forget this!]
        ftp> mget *.Z
	ftp> quit

  __ Use "uncompress" to decompress the files (all files have been compressed 
     to minimize the transfer time your machine.  If you have any problems,
     please contact the Editors and we will make uncompressed versions 
     available to you).

  __ Run latex and then dvips on the "sample.tex" file --- this is both a 
     sample paper and a detailed set of instructions.  "sample.tex" should be a
     sufficient template for most circumstances, although "paspman.tex" is
     included, for those who might like to know more about all the capabilities
     and options available with the ASP style file.

  __ Prepare your paper according to the formatting guidelines, and check
     that it prints correctly.

  __ If your paper has figures or illustrations NOT in encapsulated PostScript
     (EPS) files, prepare hardcopies at production size, and AIR-MAIL them to
     the First Editor's Colorado address.  If at all possible though, we *beg*
     the authors to submit electronic encapsulated PostScript figures!!
     It would be *greatly* appreciated if the authors could restrict themselves
     to black-and-white reproductions only.

  __ Check to be sure you have included an abstract.  

  __ Deposit your manuscript files (source text and any EPS figures) in the
     directory pub/tss/Manuscripts on the node merlin.anu.edu.au via 
     anonymous ftp.  Large files can be compressed with "gzip" or "compress"
     before being deposited.

     Identify the manuscript copy by using the last name of the first author,
     e.g., gibson.tex.  Any EPS files should be identified in a similar way,
     e.g., gibson_fig1.eps, gibson_fig2.eps.  Authors with multiple papers will
     need to indicate this as well, e.g., putman1.tex, with figures
     putman1_fig1.eps, etc, and putman2.tex with figures putman2_fig1.eps, etc.  
  __ Conversely, authors are welcome to email their completed LaTeX text and
     encapsulated PostScript figures to the Editors.  In this case,
     please ensure that the subject line reflects the file-naming convention
     espoused in the previous paragraph.

  __ If you did not leave a signed and dated Copyright Agreement with the
     Editors during the Workshop, please sign and date the Copyright Agreement 
     and FAX or AIR-MAIL it to the First Editor's (B.K. Gibson) Colorado 
     address.  A signed Copyright Agreement is a necessary pre-requisite for 
     publishing your manuscript. 

  __ Unless contacted by the Editors, a complete paper copy need not be
     submitted ... the electronic version should suffice.
