That particular article is 50 printed pages long, about half text and half
graphics.  Too large to type, and too costly to make copies and mail them to
all interested.  I suggest you try to get a copy of the whole proceedings.
There are other interesting items in there too.

SURF, for those who don't know, stands for the Sequent User's Resource Forum,
the name of the offcial Sequent user's group.  If you don't already belong, you
should.  You aren't required to attend the yearly conference, but if you can,
it's a wonderful way of getting questions answered, learning from other
people's experiences, and finding out about new software and hardware
products.  Even if you don't go, you get a copy of the conference proceedings.

I think that you join SURF (and hopefully get a copy of last year's
proceedings) by calling your local Sequent sales representative or the Sequent
main offices at (800-854-0428 or 503-626-5700), and ask for the SURF
representative.  If someone else knows a better way, please post.
