hapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in
cooperation with the Math & CS Dept at the University of Denver is
offering a week-long Professional Development Seminar on X.11, aka XWindows.
Because I forgot to post this notice (sent out a mailing, forgot email!) there
will be no late registration penalty. However, you MUST register no later than
Wednesday, March 11 (next week).

The DRMCACM can only handle checks - personal or corporate. That means NO
credit cards, no purchase orders! A registration form follows the course
outline below. This is a workshop environment - we will have SUN workstations
for everyone to use (no more than 2 people per machine)

For more information call me at 871-2802 or send email to 

       blanche@du.edu
