[mod.computers.workstations] Postponement in OIS-86 paper submission deadline

Hewitt@MIT-MC.ARPA (01/22/86)

Because of the delay in the distribution of the call for papers for
OIS-86 in the Newsletter, we have decided to postpone the deadline
for paper submission from February 1 to March 1, 1986 in order to
satisfy the requirements for broad distribution of the call.

Enclosed please find the call for papers which reflects this change:
