I am using a friend's account to send this message because all mine
were removed by Bell management.

I am leaving Bell Labs to take a faculty position at the Wang Institute
of Graduate Studies.  The Wang Institute is not affiliated with Wang
Labs but was founded by the same family who owns much of Wang Labs.
The Institute is a non-profit school currently specializing in software
engineering.  I will be teaching and doing research in human factors in
software development.

My reasons for leaving are varied: some personal, some professional.
The crux can be found in Chapter 13 of Pirsig's book, Zen and the Art
of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I hope to promote interaction among people doing interesting work on
user interfaces and documentation environments.  My own work, including
software, will be in the public domain where I feel academic research
belongs.  Should you be interested in receiving updates on various
projects, please contact me at the address below.

As far as Bell Labs is concerned, I will be happy to help people with
any transitions brought about by my leaving.  Ironically, most people
at Bell will have better access to my work done after leaving than
while I was there.  I wish my friends at Bell Labs the best in their
work.

My address after October 1 will be:
	Gary Perlman
	Wang Institute
	Tyng Road
	Tyngsboro, MA 01879
	(617) 649-9731
