Yesterday I described the availabilty of Singh's bibliography
via electronic mail:

%A Baldev Singh
%T Computer Graphics Literature for 1986: A Bibliography
%J Computer Graphics
%V 21
%N 3
%D June 1987
%P 189-208

and

%A Baldev Singh
%A Gunther Schrack
%T Computer Graphics Literature for 1985: A Bibliography
%J Computer Graphics
%V 20
%N 3
%D July 1986
%P 85-145

I described the advantages of searching and reformatting,
anonymous FTP.  I then went into describe electronic mail retrieval
Hopefully, you are all co-ordinating, and flipping pennies. 8-)

The last method of getting this information is the most low-tech.
You send us a 1 MB of disk(s) and we will place it in ASCII word processing
files:

	Ed Post
	Secretary/Treasurer
	Bay Area ACM/SIGGRAPH
	P.O. Box 3553
	Santa Clara, CA 95055

We will currently do this for free so long as you send return
postage and are VERY patient with us.  In the future, when we
determine demand, Ed may ask for a small handling fee (he's a
private consultant). (you still have to be patient: 6-8 weeks).

THERE ARE TWO DANGERS inherent:
The bibliography is kind of big.
The second danger is everybody asking at the same time.

We in the Bay Area ACM/SIGGRAPH local group will be adding to these.
Reference contributions and corrections are welcome.  It's only possible
if we work together to see this through.  We can always use key entry
and other assistance or donations, storage media (like if you do a graphics TR?
send us a copy and we can add it.)

Have fun.

Another gross generalization from

--eugene miya, NASA Ames Research Center, eugene@aurora.arc.nasa.gov
  ex-Lame-duck Prez. Bay Area ACM/SIGGRAPH
  resident cynic at the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers:
  "Mailers?! HA!", "If my mail does not reach you, please accept my apology."
  {uunet,hplabs,ncar,decwrl,allegra,tektronix}!ames!aurora!eugene
  "Send mail, avoid follow-ups.  If enough, I'll summarize."

BTW: I have copies of Singh's work at certain other hosts, but DEC,
not my employer is guaranteeing a home for a while.
