This is to inform you that Geoff Huston's NEWS program will indeed be on the Fall 1987 VAX SIG tapes, which I intend to send to initial distribution not later than the end of February 1988. The tapes will be a 3 reel set this time, with not very much compressed. This will fit on one TK50, one reel at 6250, or 3 reels at 1600 BPI. There was just too much submitted to fit on two reels. If your LUG librarians send tapes ahead of time to their DECUS tape distribution points for the SIG tapes, they can cut the time necessary for obtaining the tapes. They should of course make it clear what they want. I send the tapes to the top level distribution via tree at 6250 and 1600, as more and more of the population wants the 6250 version.
