   Hello All, 

     Every year SIGGRAPH puts out slide sets at the yearly 
   conference. Sometime later the descriptions of the slides
   appear in "Computer Graphics". Does anyone have these 
   descriptions online? I want to have a file I can search 
   through instead of having to look through several thousand
   pictures when I make up a presentation. It would be nice 
   to be able to 

            grep -i NYIT picture.descriptions

   or 
            grep -i teapot picture.descriptions

   (list all descriptions having the keywords "NYIT" or "teapot")

   I will probably create such a file someday if it does 
   not already exist. 

   BTW is there any way to get copies of the older slide sets? I 
   need pre-1979 and 1980-1982.  SIGGRAPH sold several years' worth
   at a show a few years ago. Is there any chance that even older 
   sets could be reprinted? 

   - mark


   PS.  PLEASE do not post "ME TOO" articles! If someone asks 
       "Is there a free {UNIX/Pascal-to-C translator/wonderful something}?"
       and you want one too, write the poster directly.
