\section{TUG'98: The 1998 \TeX\ Users Group Conference}

\begin{large}\parskip 12pt\parindent 0em

The 1998 \TeX\ Users Group Conference will take place at the Nicholas
Copernicus University, Toru\'n, Poland from 17th to 21st August
1998. This conference will be organised and hosted by the Polish TeX
Users Group, GUST.

Proposals for papers are now being solicited: preference will be given
to papers which deal most directly with the theme of the conference
(`Integrating TeX with the surrounding world'), but papers on related
topics (e.g.~DSSSL, HTML, PDF, SGML, XML, etc.) are not excluded.
Proposals (which should ideally be written in English, but which may
be written in another language by prior arrangement) should be sent to
the TUG'98 Programme Committee (email \url{tug-98-papers@mail.tug.org}).

 Each proposal should include the title, name,
address, e-mail address and affiliation (where appropriate) of the
proposer, together with an extended abstract (the latter should
correspond to approximately one side of A4.  In addition, there should
be an estimate of the necessary time for verbal presentation
(excluding questions: a further five minutes will be allowed for
questions after each talk), and a further estimate of the number of
printed pages which will be required to reproduce the full text of the
article using the [L]TUGproc macros.  Any special needs should also be
stated (for example, colour pages in the preprints/proceedings;
e-TeX/pdfTeX/Omega/etc. to process the paper, \ldots).

  fund, Euro\TeX'98 in St Malo (France) at the end of March, and
  TUG'98 in Toru\'n; (Poland) in mid August.  If you want assistance
  from this fund, whether for EuroTeX or TUG98, please contact the
