Important things to note about this call for papers:
The deadline for papers is soon, June 30, 1989. Don't forget, we
like short as well as long papers, so you *do* have time!
There will be, for the first time at a workshop, full-day tutorials
on systems administration, taught by illustrious administrators,
so plan now to attend.
Registration materials forthcoming soon.
Cheers,
Alix

Complete papers only, please, even if short. Abstracts and
