There is a listing of conventions maintained in the Sf-Lovers archives at elbereth.rutgers.edu and is available FREE by anonymous ftp. I try to keep this list up-to-date as much as possible with the latest information. (The information currently in the list is correct as of February 1, 1991) To get the list via anonymous ftp: % ftp elbereth.rutgers.edu > cd pub/sfl > get cons.txt If you don't have access to ftp at your site, you can send mail to BITFTP@PUCC.EDU with the commands given above (without the single character prompt at the beginning) as the body of your message. You will then get, by email, the con listing. If you (or anyone else for that matter) wish to have a convention listed that isn't already there, send all pertinent information to SF-LOVERS-CONS@RUTGERS.EDU. -- --- Saul Jaffe Rutgers University ARPA: Jaffe@elbereth.rutgers.edu UUCP: ...!rutgers!elbereth.rutgers.edu!jaffe
