(I tried sending mail directly - but as I has use Internet routing to
try to connect to UUCP routing - I'm not sure if it has, or ever will
get through -- so appologies for posting this here)
--------------------
How much does a subscription to the Journal of C Language Translation
cost? (duration, and/or # of issues?)
Are back issues available? (are TOC's for back issues available?)
Is it available in machine readable format?
Is it possible to get educational discouts (i.e for a university library)?
Is the address:
Journal of C language Translation
2051 Swans Neck Way
Reston, VA 22091
The correct address to use for subscription requests?
Is there a phone number (or email address) which could be used instead?

Again, my appologies for posting this here. Please direct responses to
me so as not to clutter up this group.
