Sorry about the separate postings, but our news feed has been down for a bit
so I thought I better get it out via Arpanet unix-wizards, too.
Track A schedule is definite (we hope!), but Track B is a bit tentative. In
particular, a session or two may still be added to Track B. STUG in Track B
is definite. Order of data here is: Track A Usenix, Track B Usenix, Track B
STUG.
