Much as I hate to say it, I sort of agree. I would like to suggest that perhaps Usenix could sponsor a week of tutorials? Perhaps extended tutorials, i.e. 2 or 3 days long, mixed with the traditional 1 day tutorials. As much work as the tutorials are, I find it very frustrating that I can only take two at a time, when there are usually about four that I would like to go to. -- Unix is a Registered | Arnold Robbins -- Emory University Computing Center Bell of AT&T Trademark | DOMAIN: arnold@unix.cc.emory.edu Laboratories. | UUCP: gatech!emory!arnold PHONE: +1 404 727-7636 -- Donn Seeley | BITNET: arnold@emoryu1 FAX: +1 404 727-2599
