WISR6 Information:
The files in the pub/WISR/wisr6 directory on ftp site
gandalf.umcs.maine.edu currently reflect the final proceedings, prior
to the workshop on November 2-4, 1993 in Owego, NY.
1. The majority of papers (68) are in LaTex form and are in the
repository as Latex, DVI, Postscript, AND ascii files.
*** DISCLAIMER ***
The ascii files of the LaTex papers are dvitty dumps of the dvi files and
are in most cases EXTREMELY ugly.
******************
Those papers that have Postscript diagrams have them included
as separate Postscript files in the /tex directory. The diagrams
are also embedded in the Postscript files in the /ps directory,
but are NOT embedded in the DVI files in the /dvi directory.
*** IMPORTANT ***
If you don't already have epsf.sty and ieeetr.bst on your system,
you may need to ftp them from the /textools directory (ieeetr.bst
for those papers with bib files, and epsf.sty for those papers
with embedded postscript diagrams).
*****************
2. 11 of the papers were written using Microsoft Word 5.0,
appearing as Mac Word 5.0 format (.msw) and RTF format (.rtf) files
in the /word5 directory, and as ascii (.ascii) files in the /ascii
directory. The .msw files need to be transferred in binary mode and
can only be processed by Mac Word, but the .rtf files can be
transferred in ascii mode and should be readable by both
IBM and Mac versions of Word.
3. One paper was written using Framemaker and is available in
MIF interchange format (.mif) in the /mif directory, Postscript in
the /ps directory, and ascii in the /ascii directory.
*** UNFORTUNATELY ***
I've had problems getting Mac postscript files to print on the
postscript printers on our SUN network. Given that the files tend
to be extremely large I surmise that a large amount of font
information is being packed into each file that is not
understandable by the printer drivers. I therefore haven't
included postscript files for the Word generated papers. If
anyone would like to try their hand at generating usable
postscript files for these papers, go for it...

Please let me know if you have any problems accessing and printing
this material.
