Hi all. The 2nd UCR Guildsman is now available via anonymous ftp in
postscript & LaTeX formats from watnxt2.ucr.edu (192.31.146.189).
The files are under pub/ucrgg and are named guildsman2.tex.tar.Z
and guildsman2.ps.tar.Z respectively.

As usual, we're ripping a lot of stuff off the net, but in the true
nature of electronic media, we're making it available to all of you
free of charge. Here's the contents of the Fall issue.

Note that all the separate articles have been tar'ed into a single file
for your ease of transfer. For you VMSers out there and all you who
don't have ftp access, just send me email at...

               Internet: jimv@ucrmath.ucr.edu
                             or
                   uucp: !ucsd!ucrmath!jimv

...and I'll email all this stuff up to you. A note to postscripters:
the .ps takes about 2.6 Meg untar'ed and uncompressed, so make sure
you have somewhere to stuff it before you ftp.

Last but not least, we're looking for comments and we need to know
our geographic distribution, so please send email specifying your
location so we can know how many of these went wherever. Because of
budget constraints and a lack of techies in the Guild, we may be
forced or otherwise coerced into abandoning net distribution if the
response is fairly low-key, so if you wanna see a Guildsman #3 in
Winter, please respond with your location and any applicable
(hopefully nice :-) comments. Thanx...
