Well, if you get hold of a copy of Asia/Pacific Open Systems Review, you will
find a 20 page AUUG 1992 Conference Programme in the centre. Apart from
"accommodation" being spelled correctly everywhere except the main heading for
it on page 15, I didn't (in a quick, non-exhaustive scan!) notice any glaring
faults. I couldn't see any sign of Coles Myer, so I don't know whether they
would have written Coles Meyers again or not! :-)

Quite agree.
