        Chicago HP Handheld Users' Conference HP48 Software Disks
                      "CHIP.ZIP and PUBDOM.ZIP"


These two disks full of HP48SX material were generated for and during the
Chicago Hewlett-Packard Handheld Users' Conference, held June 1-2, 1990 in
Franklin Park and Rolling Meadows, Illinois. This conference was sponsored
by the Chicago Area "CHIP" Group, which was founded as a chapter of the PPC
Calculator Club in 1976.  Jack Stout is the coordinator of the group. The
first disk file, labelled "CHIP.ZIP" was distributed in the morning at the
formal conference itself, and was collected by Joseph K. Horn on the west
coast and brought to Chicago by Richard Nelson for distribution with the
conference proceedings. A rough list of its contents is below:

Many thanks to Joe Horn for putting the first disk together in time for the
conference and to Jackie Woldering for working in "real time" to collect
the material for the second disk while we all sat and listened to informal
talks in the evening after the conference.

These disk files are available in at least one ftp site from here...
is it piglet.caltech.edu?
