Here in Germany it's possible to order IEEE publication from 'Beuth Verlag', but the exchange rate they use is quite strange (beyond 1:4). As far as I remember there are reasonable discounts on IEEE publications if you order many. Therefor my question: Could we organize a common order by an IEEE member for all German (European) Minix users who want the standards ? Who is an IEEE member and would be willing to order ? Of course all payment to the one who orders the publications must be in advance !

IEEE also has an office in Brussels. I don't know how that works, but since it is IEEE itself and not a third party who is adding a large profit margin, they might be cheaper. I don't have their phone number. Could somebody who does please call them up, ask what the deal is and post it. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

It won't gain you very much to have an IEEE member do the ordering. The member price applies only to the first copy ordered. -- V7 /bin/mail source: 554 lines.| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 1989 X.400 specs: 2200+ pages. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
