jab@DUKEE.EGR.DUKE.EDU (John A. Board) (08/18/89)
Below I have typed in a reasonable approximation of the printed registration information for the Fall meeting of the North American Transputer Users Group, to be held October 18-19, 1989 in Durham NC. Details of the technical program will follow in a few days; we have accepted about 30 papers from around the world for presentation at the meeting, and a poster session will also be held (contact me for more details if you would like to present a poster). I typed this in a hurry (this is the disclamer in case I need to release a revised version later), but the important info (dates, places, and fees) is apparently correct. Many of you will receive the printed form in the mail; if you are not on the NATUG mailing list and wish to be, contact me for information. For more information about registration, contact Western Leisure at the numbers below. - John Board - Duke University - Program and General Chair for NATUG 2 - jab@dukee.egr.duke.edu North American Transputer Users Group Fall Conference Sheraton University Center, Durham NC October 18 & 19, 1989 Organized by: Academic Sponsor: Brian Raines, CTC, CMP Duke University Western Leisure, Inc.
