Proper Publishing is proud to announce a new journal for computer scientists and computing professionals. Text in Computers is a scholarly journal published four times a year covering all aspects of the use of text in computers: text input, processing character and word strings, and output. Text in Computers will be of interest to all researchers, programmers, and analysts who work with text. The regular features will include research papers, technology updates, book reviews, hardware and software descriptions, algorithm notes, a database of text professionals and researchers, and an information exchange. Text in Computers will fill a gap that exists in the magazines for computer scientists and will aid programmers who work with word processing and data manipulation programs. I am sure that many of you have research papers that would be appropriate for Text in Computers. We will be covering some of the topics that are covered in net.text, and extended articles are especially welcome. Please call or write if you would like to submit papers for the first issue. Subscriptions for Text in Computers are $25 for one year (4 issues). Foreign subscriptions (outside U.S., Canada, and Mexico) are $50. The first issue will be published in Summer 1986. If you would like to subscribe or have any questions, please contact me at Proper Publishing: dual!proper!paul@ucbvax.berkeley.edu or Proper Publishing 2000 Center Street, Suite 1024 Berkeley, CA 94704 415/644-0433

Will this journal really be so weighty that each copy will cost $6.25 more to mail overseas than to North American addresses?! -- \\\\ Graeme Hirst University of Toronto Computer Science Department //// utcsri!utai!gh / gh.toronto@csnet-relay / 416-978-8747

However, I've been advised by others publishing academic journals that overseas subscriptions are a royal pain (even in non- Commonwealth countries :-) ) due to getting checks cashed, issues that never show up and need to be re-sent, and so on. Most folks said "double the price and expect that few will subscribe." Anyhow, you're in Canada, so don't worry. If this is a financial hardship to someone out there, let me know.
