Marriott Hotel and Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. The keynote
speaker will be Dennis Ritchie, of AT&T Bell Laboratories and co-author

video."
The Technical Exhibition will feature 65 + hardware and
software companies, and will be open Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday,
and Thursday.
The Technical Program (see below) will emphasize
retrospectives, analyses of tradeoffs, and critical thinking in
today's UNIX environment.
The Tutorial Program on Monday and Tuesday will
include Mach, 4.3BSD UNIX, OSF/Motif, C++, (more) TCP/IP, Postscript
Programming, OSI, MIT X Window System, X Toolkit intrinsics, and
more. New tutorials will be featured on Open Look and the TCP/IP
protocols.
A second track of the conference sessions will once again
feature informal talks on such subjects as computer generated music---
how do computers make music, and how are they being used in music
production, arrangements, and composition; Regular expressions;
TCP/IP system administration; and a system administration problem
solving panel.
Conference sessions run on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
