Hello All,
Every year SIGGRAPH puts out slide sets at the yearly
conference. Sometime later the descriptions of the slides
appear in "Computer Graphics". Does anyone have these
descriptions online? I want to have a file I can search
through instead of having to look through several thousand
pictures when I make up a presentation. It would be nice
to be able to
grep -i NYIT picture.descriptions
or
grep -i teapot picture.descriptions
(list all descriptions having the keywords "NYIT" or "teapot")
I will probably create such a file someday if it does
not already exist.
BTW is there any way to get copies of the older slide sets? I
need pre-1979 and 1980-1982. SIGGRAPH sold several years' worth
at a show a few years ago. Is there any chance that even older
sets could be reprinted?

PS. PLEASE do not post "ME TOO" articles! If someone asks
"Is there a free {UNIX/Pascal-to-C translator/wonderful something}?"
and you want one too, write the poster directly. herzog@dogwalk.Sun.COM (Brian Herzog, Sun Microsystems, GPD) (05/05/89)

Video review issues all the way back to Issue 1 are still available; I'm not sure how far back the slide sets and Proceedings go. Contact: ACM Order Department PO Box 64145 Baltimore, MD 21264 (800) 342-6626 (301) 528-4261 (Maryland, Alaska, Hawaii, and outside the U.S.) Video reviews going back a year or so are available at the SIGGRAPH conference, in the registration/materials area (on the third floor of the Hynes Convention Center). The issues that will be available this year are (tentatively) Issues 26-43. Selected SIGGRAPH slide sets, Proceedings and video reviews from past years are also available at the conference, at the ACM booth (on the first floor of the Hynes Convention Center, fairly near the main entrance.) -Brian Herzog herzog@sun.com P.S. The SIGGRAPH '89 advance program is at the printers and is scheduled to be mailed the week of May 15. P.P.S. To Mark Paul: Yes, you're on the mailing list for the program (sorry, I inadvertantly deleted your email address).
