The Sun User Group 1992.2 CD-ROM has gone to press!  Order now!

The SUG CD 1992.2 is priced at $150 to SUG members, including a caddy!

The SUG 1992.2 CD is an ISO9660 disk with Rock Ridge Extensions (which
means it can be used on PC, Macintosh, and many workstations as well
as on Suns).

The SUG 1992.2 CD-ROM emphasizes information sources (archives of
useful textual information) and includes plug-and-play Sparc binaries
for many useful libraries and programs.  (Naturally, sources are
provided also...) Almost 650MB of useful and interesting material in
an easy-to-use form.

This CD supplements (does not entirely replace) the 1992.1 CD (which
contains X11R5 and GNU as of Feb '92) and updates most of the content
of SUG CD 1991.
