Obtaining the proceedings of FTP97
==================================

Get the file

   http://www.logic.at/FTP97/ftp97.tgz

(size 2.6 MB).
Under Unix, the proceedings can be unpacked by the command

   gunzip -c ftp97.tgz | tar xf -

The result is a directory named "ftp97" (size 7.6 MB).



Contents of the distribution
============================

Unpacking "ftp97.tgz" creates the directory "ftp97" which
contains the following files:

COPYRIGHT .......... copyright notice

README ............. this file

buchberg.html ...... abstract of the invited talk by Bruno Buchberger;
                     referenced by proceedings.html

filelist ........... list of all Postscript files in subdirectory "proc"

ftp97.bib .......... bibliographic entries for all articles of the
                     proceedings (BibTeX format)

proc ............... subdirectory containing all Postscript files
                     which are part of the proceedings

proceedings.html ... home page of the proceedings; contains
                     links to all files in this directory and in "proc"

schloss.jpg ........ pictures of Schloss Hagenberg (used by
schloss2.jpg         "proceedings.html")



Putting the proceedings on the web
==================================

You are welcome to offer the proceedings on your own WWW server.
To do this, move the archive "ftp97.tgz" to directory "ftp97";
under Unix this means:

   mv ftp97.tgz ftp97

and copy the whole directory to your WWW area.
The entry page for the proceedings is "ftp97/proceedings.html".



Printing the proceedings
========================

Each paper appears as a single Postscript file in directory "ftp97/proc".
The name of the file consists of the first author's name truncated
to eight letters, followed by ".ps".
If your standard printer is able to handle Postscript,
the paper can be printed under Unix by issuing

   lpr ftp97/proc/<author>.ps

Furthermore, the cover page is contained in "ftp97/proc/cover.ps",
the preface in "ftp97/proc/preface.ps".

To obtain a printout of the proceedings as a whole, print the
files listed in "ftp97/filelist" in the given order.
Under Unix, this can be achieved by the commands

   cd ftp97/proc
   cat ../filelist | xargs -l lpr 

(again assuming that your standard printer understands Postscript).



Refering to an article of the proceedings (BibTeX)
==================================================

The file "ftp97/ftp97.bib" contains bibliographic data for all
articles in the proceedings. To refer to an article from within
a TeX document, use the command

   \cite{<author>97FTP}

where <author> is the first author's name truncated to eight characters.
For further informations see the LaTeX and BibTeX manuals.
