Intermediate information, *only* in electronic form; the 3rd (last)
announcement will be distributed at the beginning of September (late
August) in both electronic and printed form. Invited lectures are
marked by stars (**). One star marks tutorials and BoF, mostly in
parallel sessions (since the interest in tutorials was enormous).
We send it to inform you / to invite you to take part / to remind
you about sending your Registration Form of EuroTeX 92 as hardcopy
or just to keep in touch. Since the electronic journals/lists on TeX
are not read by all Texans and users we should appreciate
propagation of this information among your friends. For those who
prefer to read it in printed form or send it to friends without
e-mail connection the LaTeX source is attached at the end of this
file. The second announcement and/or the Registration form will be
sent to you provided you will ask for it on the e-mail address
<eurotex@cspguk11.bitnet>. Remark, that this *is not* the definitive
program (timing of lectures, ...).
EuroTeX 92 is organized by the Czechoslovak TeX Users Group with
Charles University and Czech Technical University, Prague, under the
auspices of both Rectors. EuroTeX is supported by French TeX Users
Group GUTenberg and by German TeX Users Group DANTE e.v. It takes
place in Prague, Czechoslovakia (CSFR)

****** 1992
As already announced, EuroTeX 92 is organized by
Czechoslovak TeX Users Group
in collaboration with
Charles University and Czech Technical University, Prague,
under the auspices of both Rectors.
It takes place in Prague
from September 14 to September 18, 1992.
The Programme Committee consists of Peter Abbott, Jacques Andre,
Jana Chlebikova, Yannis Haralambous, Bernard Gaulle, Karel Horak,
Joachim Lammarsche, Kees van der Laan, Erich Neuwirth, Petr Novak,
Stefan Porubsky, Phillip Taylor, Jiri Vesely and Jiri Zlatuska.
About the Programme: Invited speakers include Yannis Haralambous,
John Hobby, Alan Hoenig, Anita Hoover, Chris Rowley, Daniel Taupin,
Phillip Taylor. They will cover topics including the usage of TeX
for "non-standard" languages, typesetting music, Metafont-like
language for PostScript drawings, special effects with Metafont and
TeX, Latex3 project, aspect of the use of TeX and LaTeX at
University, WEB and even more...
Tutorials delivered after the conference by Yannis Haralambous, Phil
Taylor and Klaus Thull will cover Metafont and advanced topics in
TeX as well as an introduction to WEB.
Everybody who want to offer a presentation of results, ideas and
experience (despite the expired deadline for submitting papers)
should consider contacting the Programme Committee chairman
Jiri Zlatuska <e-mail:zlatuska@cspuni12.bitnet>
as soon as possible. Note that camera-ready papers are due to reach
him not later than July 10.
Suggested topics of special interest include the following themes:
Non-standard applications of TeX, national versions and
standardization, Quo Vadis, TeX ?, and the use of TeX for
small/newly emerging enterprises. Other interesting contributions
relevant to TeX are sought.
Why come to EuroTeX 92 ?
Besides the privilege of hearing the invited talks of leading
specialists you will have the pleasure to listen to other lectures
and to meet TeXfriends from many countries. The meeting is the first
to offer really extensive contacts with people "from behind the iron
curtain". It takes place in the Golden Heart of Europe -- Prague,
one of the most fascinating capitals in Europe. You can visit it at
a surprisingly low cost. Indeed, we would like to make EuroTeX 92 in
Prague accessible to the majority of TeXfans from all over the
world. It will be arranged at a modest level, yet covering all your
needs. It is worth noting that low prices do not mean a compromise
in quality, rather, they take advantage of the favourable exchange
rates applicable to the "hard currency countries".
Other conditions:
For about 50 participants (unfortunately, not more) we have reserved
rooms from Sunday, Sept 13th. Some participants could have
difficulties with proper timing and this is meant especially to help
them (apex flights, flights not available everyday, etc.). At least
three tutorials will be organized for participants of the EuroTeX
92 *after* the conference (Sept 18, afternoon and Sept 19).
Preferences will be given to those who will have paid the fee
earlier (number of participants is limited). Accommodation is booked
in a modern student hostel Kajetanka in double rooms. Two double
rooms form a unit and share facilities. We plan to arrange transport
by bus to Czech Technical University, where the programme will be
held (it is within some 25 minutes walk from Kajetanka). All
participants will be provided with a card for all Prague public
transport during the period Monday - Friday.
Lunches will be served at the conference site; during breaks some
refreshments will be available free of charge. Dinners are not
included in order to enable you to research Czech restaurants and
pubs on your own. An informal welcome party will be held on Monday
evening, 7 p.m. An organ concert will take place probably on
Wednesday and some other pleasant surprises are not excluded. To
those who will arrive on Monday morning or during Sunday we would
like to offer a sightseeing tour on Monday afternoon (still under
negotiation). The whole programme from Monday to Friday forms
a package (accommodation in double rooms, half pension from Tuesday
to Friday, opening party on Monday evening, concert, conference fee,
proceedings, tutorials for those who will stay a bit longer) for
330 DM. Those who would prefer a single room would pay 60 DM extra.
For *additional* 35 DM (45 DM for a single room) a day, a limited
number of participants may stay untill Sunday (one or two days more)
either for tutorials or just to enjoy meeting friends and to have
good beer in some of the pubs, such as Good Soldier Svejk liked. For
accompanying persons, a special programme will be organized
including visits to galleries, places of interest, etc. They will be
asked to pay 285 DM and are not supposed to order single rooms.
Payment:
Those who are interested and have already decided to take part or
want to get the package for the reduced price are requested to send
money via the following account
34735-021/0100 at KOMER\v CN\'I BANKA, PRAHA
(there is one "hacek" and one "prime" accent in its name: please, do
not forget to use them). The address of the bank is
KOMER\v CN\'I BANKA,
pob. Praha -- M\v ESTO,
Vaclavske nam. 42
110 00 PRAHA 1
Czechoslovakia
while the name of the account is
\v Ceskoslovensk\'e sdru\v zen\'\i{} u\v zivatel\accent23u TEXu
(our surface address (in Czech): Sokolovsk\'a 83, 186 00 Praha 8,
Czechoslovakia).
Important !!! :
If the payment is sent before July 1, 1992, you can deduct 35 DM
from the price of the package and pay only 295 DM (250 DM). There is
no deduction for extras, the price remains the same. We will send
a hard copy of the registration form to those who already asked for
registration and gave us the whole address. You can also print the
form distributed in TeX version (plain) and fill it in. The separate
file relating to this is included below. Please, enclose an
indication on how you have transmitted the payment to the above
account and, if possible, send us a xerocopy of the order. It could
help us to trace it (Czechoslovak money transfer system is still not
quite efficient, but something called "swift" is already available).
We were told that the important thing is to use CZECH name of the
bank mentioned above since its translation would cause some
mistakes.
Cancellation:
In case of cancellation (please, do not do it, you would miss a lot
of fun !) we will refund you the amount you paid minus a sum which
regretably has to be deducted: for cancellation done before July
15, 1992 it will be 10 DM, for the period from July 16, 1992 till
September 12 it will be 10 \% of the payment, and after this date it
will be 10 \% plus the costs of already paid necessities.
Climate:
Since much of Prague fascination is historical, architectural and
cultural, it can be enjoyed at any time. The average maximum
temperature in September is 18^o C (64^o F) and the weather is
relatively stable.
Currency:
The Czechoslovak Crown is rated approx. 17:1 to DM, approx. 28:1 to
USD. Recently, prices of goods have been increased somewhat. They
are slowly approaching "western standards" but in many respects
Czechoslovakia is considered favourable and cheap for western
tourists.
Transport:
Czechoslovakia is easily accessible by plane. The Prague's airport
is about 15 km from the city centre (the Kajetanka hostel is even
a bit closer). Public transport is relatively cheap, but going by
taxi, it is better to agree on the fare beforehand, since prices are
not fixed and actually depend on drivers. Roads are relatively good
but with only a few motorways which are not so fast as in the West
(speed limits: 110 km/h on motorways, 90 on roads, 60 in towns).
Parking in Prague is generally difficult. There are places to park
in the neighbourhood of the hostel, but not a (guarded) parking.
International trains connect Prague with Berlin, Munich, Nurnberg,
Wien, Warszawa, Budapest, etc.
More particulars will be given in the next (and last) announcement.
Important note:
We can host approx. 300 participants/accompanying persons. On July
10th we must specify the figures, therefore we encourage everybody
to use the reduced price (available untill July 1). Later on, we
would have difficulties with a varying number of participants. We
hope that you will understand our situation. Do not hesitate to
address your questions to the organizers (please, use e-mail, if
possible).
Those who are interested in taking part are requested to fill in the
following form (*provided they have not done so before*) and send it

The time is running rather fast: the count down for the EuroTeX 92
Conference already started. As most of you probably know it is
organized by the Czechoslovak TeX Users Group in collaboration with
Charles University and Czech Technical University, Prague, under the
auspices of both Rectors. EuroTeX 92 is supported by French TeX
Users Group GUTenberg and by German TeX Users Group DANTE e.v. The
support helps to bring to Prague representatives of existing or
emerging national TUGs from C&EE Countries. It takes place in Prague
******* from September 14 to September 18, 1992.*******
Registration:
The Registration office will be opened on Sunday, September 13 from
10 am to 8 pm and on Monday, September 14 from 9am to 6pm at
Kajetanka Student Hotel, Radimova Street 12, Prague 6
Phone No: (+422) for Czechoslovakia/Prague and then
316 72 12, or 35 47 50 till 59, or 35 25 50 till 59
`EuroTeX Conference guest XYZ' should be the proper start of
communication (carefull pronounciation and slow communication in
English should work).
There is no Fax available at the hotel, but your phone calls will be
put through by the operator to the participant's room. E-mail will
be available at a special room close to the lecture hall. Ftp and
telnet will be hopefully available, too, but we can not promise it
up to now. For copying public domain software 3,5" diskettes are
strongly recomended (there would be problems with 5,25").
We will also send the hard copy of this final announcement to all
who already sent us the registration form and paid the fee and also
to those who forget about it but we hope they will come. They are
kindly requested to use the SWIFT to transfer money on the
conference account since it is the fastest form of payment which
works also in Czechoslovakia. Those who provided us with their
e-mail address only we cannot reach by surface mail. The final
version of the program is attached below.
About the program:
Conference sessions will take place at the Technical University of
Prague (Czech abbreviation CVUT -- see the map) close to the
terminal station of the subway line C ("Dejvicka") at "Technicka"
Street No 2-4. Bus transfers from Kajetanka will be provided.
Invited talks are marked by stars (**). One star marks tutorials and
BoF, mostly in parallel sessions (since the interest in tutorials
was enormous). The other announcements and/or the Registration form
will be sent to you by e-mail: in case you are interested, send your
enquiry to the e-mail address <eurotex@cspguk11.bitnet>. Daily
bulletin will keep the participants informed about any schedule
changes or news emerging during the conference.
Invited talks are marked by stars (**). Single star marks tutorials
and BoF, in parallel sessions.
Conference proceedings (320pp) will be available at the beginning of
EuroTeX 92. If you are interested in ordering the proceedings
without comming to EuroTeX, please contact

Theatres, pubs, ...
For the accompanying persons special excursions on Wednesday and
Thursday morning will be offered. Other (different) excursions will
be organized on Saturday and Sunday.
Kajetanka (accomodation) -- how to get there ?
Here is a short description, how to use public transport system just
after your arrival to Prague. First, you should buy some tickets
(4,- Kcs (Czechoslovak Crowns) each -- there are some automatic
machines at the subway stations (orange color) or you can use also
tobacconists or the reception desks of hotels in Prague to get them)
-- you are supposed to stamp one ticket per one use of bus, of tram
or of the whole subway transport system (Metro -- the stops are
marked by "M"); within the subway system you can change lines A,B,C
and the ticket is valid for one hour. Public transport is relatively
cheap, but going by taxi, it is better to agree on the fare
beforehand, since prices are not fixed and actually depend on
drivers (prices on taxi-meters are in Kcs).
The shortest paths from the terminals to Kajetanka hotel are as
follows:
1. Trains. From the main railway station ("Hlavni nadrazi"), take
the subway line C (in the direction "Haje") for the next stop
("Muzeum"). At this stop change to subway line A (in the direction
"Dejvicka") and leave the subway at the stop "Hradcanska". At the
upper part of the station follow the sign to "BUS". Then you take a
bus number 108 or 174, which go to the stop "Kajetanka" located just
in front of the hotel.
Other railway stations:
>From "Praha - Holesovice" station use the subway line C and change
at "Muzeum" to the line A (in the direction "Dejvicka"). Continue as
in the previous case.
>From "Praha - Masaryk station" (old name: "Praha - Stred" station)
use the subway line B in the direction "Nove Butovice" and change at
Vaclavske namesti (station "Mustek") to the line A (in the direction
"Dejvicka"). Continue as in the previous cases.
Maps of the Prague subway system are at all its stations and in all
carriages of the subway trains.
2. Flight. From the airport take the bus number 119 to the stop
"Dejvicka".
This is the terminal stop of this bus line and a stop of the subway
line A as well. Change and take the subway to the next stop (station
"Hradcanska") and then use the bus as described above.
3. Car. Roads are relatively good but with only a few motorways
which are not so fast as in the West (speed limits: 110 km/h on
motorways, 90 on roads, 60 in towns). Parking in Prague is generally
difficult. There are places to park in the neighbourhood of the
hostel, but not a (guarded) parking. If you arrive by car along E
50, try to get to the cross called "Vypich" (this name is used on
maps, too) located on the west side of Prague on E 48. (Short
description: leave the motorway at its end and follow to the centre
(sign: "Centrum") downhill for about 1 km; cross a bridge (do not
leave the road to the right !!!) over another big road and follow
the road up to the top of a hill to the traffic lights; you are on
"Vypich", where you should turn to the right.) From this cross,
follow the drive almost straight on to the centre of Prague (to the
east). After about 2 km being on "Patockova" street (former name
"Pionyru", which is still sometimes used) you will see Kajetanka
hotel (it is the only one high building on the left side of the
road). We hope that the small part map (unfortunately too small)
will help you. If you come along E 55 try to follow the direction to
Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) and you will get to the required E 48. Any
road map should suffice to find the way. The Kajetanka hotel will be
on your right. Important remark: a lot of names has been changed
after 1989, even relatively new maps could be wrong as for names.
Performances:
We tried to reserve tickets for the Black Theatre ("Panoptikum ta
Fantastika" Theatre, 15.9. at 20.30, performance "Aspects of Alice",
14 DM or 250 Crowns ) and for Laterna Magica ("The Palace of
Culture", 17.9. at 20.00, performance "Odysseus", 24 DM or 430
Crowns): they will be available during the Registration, but we have
only a limited number of tickets. Those who intend to visit one or
both performances are asked to decide and to be more sure to get
tickets to send an e-mail. Programmes of other theatres will be
available also during the Registration.
What you will get for the fee (without extras): A card for buses,
trams (streetcars) and for the subway from the first day after your
arrival (from September, 14 or 15, till the end of your stay in
Prague), sightseeing tour on Monday afternoon (provided you ordered
it), welcome party, halfpension for Sept. 15 -- 18 (breakfast at
Kajetanka hotel, lunch at the conference site), organ concert,
refreshment during breaks, materials with general information and
daily bulletin, proceedings of EuroTeX 92 (an *interesting* book
with more then 310 pp.) is covered by paying the "package". Remark
that during the Conference the Proceedings of EuroTeX 92 will be
available in the limited number of copies for the *special* price of
25 DM.
Late applicants:
For those who would like to register by e-mail; use e-mail address:
<eurotex at cspguk11.bitnet>
and send the message:
*****
I shall take part in EuroTeX 92, Prague (14.-18.9.1992)
family: name(s):
full address:
passport number:
money will be transferred by SWIFT or paid at arrival (choose one!):
userid:
node:
*****
The same message should be sent to all below mentioned
addresses. Those late comers who will pay after
September 8 should pay 360 DM since it should need
some extra effort to rearrange things properly and we shall
have to pay more for some things. Remark that in such a case
neither the arrival on Sunday, 13 nor having single room is possible.
Payment:
Those who are interested are requested to send
money via SWIFT (!) to the following account
34735-021/0100 at KOMER\v CN\'I BANKA, PRAHA
(there is one "hacek" and one "prime" accent in its name: please, do
not forget to use them). The address of the bank is

while the name of the account is
\v Ceskoslovensk\'e sdru\v zen\'\i{} u\v zivatel\accent23u TEXu
Cancellation:
In case of cancellation (please, do it only if necessary, you would
miss a lot of fun !) we will refund you the amount you paid minus a
sum which regrettably has to be deducted: for cancellation done
before September 12 it will be 10 \% of the payment, and after this
date it will be 10 \% plus the costs of already paid necessities.
Climate:
Since much of Prague fascination is historical, architectural and
cultural, it can be enjoyed at any time. The average maximum
temperature in September is 18^o C (64^o F) and the weather is
relatively stable, but this year is up to now very special
(extremely hot).
Currency:
The Czechoslovak Crown (Kcs) is rated now approx. 18:1 to DM,
approx. 28:1 to USD. Recently, prices have increased somewhat. They
are slowly approaching "western standards" but in many respects
Czechoslovakia is considered favourable and cheap for western
tourists.

Intermediate information, *only* in electronic form; the 3rd (last)
announcement will be distributed at the beginning of September (late
August) in both electronic and printed form. Invited lectures are
marked by stars (**). One star marks tutorials and BoF, mostly in
parallel sessions (since the interest in tutorials was enormous).
We send it to inform you / to invite you to take part / to remind
you about sending your Registration Form of EuroTeX 92 as hardcopy
or just to keep in touch. Since the electronic journals/lists on TeX
are not read by all Texans and users we should appreciate
propagation of this information among your friends. For those who
prefer to read it in printed form or send it to friends without
e-mail connection the LaTeX source is attached at the end of this
file. The second announcement and/or the Registration form will be
sent to you provided you will ask for it on the e-mail address
<eurotex@cspguk11.bitnet>. Remark, that this *is not* the definitive
program (timing of lectures, ...).
EuroTeX 92 is organized by the Czechoslovak TeX Users Group with
Charles University and Czech Technical University, Prague, under the
auspices of both Rectors. EuroTeX is supported by French TeX Users
Group GUTenberg and by German TeX Users Group DANTE e.v. It takes
place in Prague, Czechoslovakia (CSFR)

****** 1992
As already announced, EuroTeX 92 is organized by
Czechoslovak TeX Users Group
in collaboration with
Charles University and Czech Technical University, Prague,
under the auspices of both Rectors.
It takes place in Prague
from September 14 to September 18, 1992.
The Programme Committee consists of Peter Abbott, Jacques Andre,
Jana Chlebikova, Yannis Haralambous, Bernard Gaulle, Karel Horak,
Joachim Lammarsche, Kees van der Laan, Erich Neuwirth, Petr Novak,
Stefan Porubsky, Phillip Taylor, Jiri Vesely and Jiri Zlatuska.
About the Programme: Invited speakers include Yannis Haralambous,
John Hobby, Alan Hoenig, Anita Hoover, Chris Rowley, Daniel Taupin,
Phillip Taylor. They will cover topics including the usage of TeX
for "non-standard" languages, typesetting music, Metafont-like
language for PostScript drawings, special effects with Metafont and
TeX, Latex3 project, aspect of the use of TeX and LaTeX at
University, WEB and even more...
Tutorials delivered after the conference by Yannis Haralambous, Phil
Taylor and Klaus Thull will cover Metafont and advanced topics in
TeX as well as an introduction to WEB.
Everybody who want to offer a presentation of results, ideas and
experience (despite the expired deadline for submitting papers)
should consider contacting the Programme Committee chairman
Jiri Zlatuska <e-mail:zlatuska@cspuni12.bitnet>
as soon as possible. Note that camera-ready papers are due to reach
him not later than July 10.
Suggested topics of special interest include the following themes:
Non-standard applications of TeX, national versions and
standardization, Quo Vadis, TeX ?, and the use of TeX for
small/newly emerging enterprises. Other interesting contributions
relevant to TeX are sought.
Why come to EuroTeX 92 ?
Besides the privilege of hearing the invited talks of leading
specialists you will have the pleasure to listen to other lectures
and to meet TeXfriends from many countries. The meeting is the first
to offer really extensive contacts with people "from behind the iron
curtain". It takes place in the Golden Heart of Europe -- Prague,
one of the most fascinating capitals in Europe. You can visit it at
a surprisingly low cost. Indeed, we would like to make EuroTeX 92 in
Prague accessible to the majority of TeXfans from all over the
world. It will be arranged at a modest level, yet covering all your
needs. It is worth noting that low prices do not mean a compromise
in quality, rather, they take advantage of the favourable exchange
rates applicable to the "hard currency countries".
Other conditions:
For about 50 participants (unfortunately, not more) we have reserved
rooms from Sunday, Sept 13th. Some participants could have
difficulties with proper timing and this is meant especially to help
them (apex flights, flights not available everyday, etc.). At least
three tutorials will be organized for participants of the EuroTeX
92 *after* the conference (Sept 18, afternoon and Sept 19).
Preferences will be given to those who will have paid the fee
earlier (number of participants is limited). Accommodation is booked
in a modern student hostel Kajetanka in double rooms. Two double
rooms form a unit and share facilities. We plan to arrange transport
by bus to Czech Technical University, where the programme will be
held (it is within some 25 minutes walk from Kajetanka). All
participants will be provided with a card for all Prague public
transport during the period Monday - Friday.
Lunches will be served at the conference site; during breaks some
refreshments will be available free of charge. Dinners are not
included in order to enable you to research Czech restaurants and
pubs on your own. An informal welcome party will be held on Monday
evening, 7 p.m. An organ concert will take place probably on
Wednesday and some other pleasant surprises are not excluded. To
those who will arrive on Monday morning or during Sunday we would
like to offer a sightseeing tour on Monday afternoon (still under
negotiation). The whole programme from Monday to Friday forms
a package (accommodation in double rooms, half pension from Tuesday
to Friday, opening party on Monday evening, concert, conference fee,
proceedings, tutorials for those who will stay a bit longer) for
330 DM. Those who would prefer a single room would pay 60 DM extra.
For *additional* 35 DM (45 DM for a single room) a day, a limited
number of participants may stay untill Sunday (one or two days more)
either for tutorials or just to enjoy meeting friends and to have
good beer in some of the pubs, such as Good Soldier Svejk liked. For
accompanying persons, a special programme will be organized
including visits to galleries, places of interest, etc. They will be
asked to pay 285 DM and are not supposed to order single rooms.
Payment:
Those who are interested and have already decided to take part or
want to get the package for the reduced price are requested to send
money via the following account
34735-021/0100 at KOMER\v CN\'I BANKA, PRAHA
(there is one "hacek" and one "prime" accent in its name: please, do
not forget to use them). The address of the bank is
KOMER\v CN\'I BANKA,
pob. Praha -- M\v ESTO,
Vaclavske nam. 42
110 00 PRAHA 1
Czechoslovakia
while the name of the account is
\v Ceskoslovensk\'e sdru\v zen\'\i{} u\v zivatel\accent23u TEXu
(our surface address (in Czech): Sokolovsk\'a 83, 186 00 Praha 8,
Czechoslovakia).
Important !!! :
If the payment is sent before July 1, 1992, you can deduct 35 DM
from the price of the package and pay only 295 DM (250 DM). There is
no deduction for extras, the price remains the same. We will send
a hard copy of the registration form to those who already asked for
registration and gave us the whole address. You can also print the
form distributed in TeX version (plain) and fill it in. The separate
file relating to this is included below. Please, enclose an
indication on how you have transmitted the payment to the above
account and, if possible, send us a xerocopy of the order. It could
help us to trace it (Czechoslovak money transfer system is still not
quite efficient, but something called "swift" is already available).
We were told that the important thing is to use CZECH name of the
bank mentioned above since its translation would cause some
mistakes.
Cancellation:
In case of cancellation (please, do not do it, you would miss a lot
of fun !) we will refund you the amount you paid minus a sum which
regretably has to be deducted: for cancellation done before July
15, 1992 it will be 10 DM, for the period from July 16, 1992 till
September 12 it will be 10 \% of the payment, and after this date it
will be 10 \% plus the costs of already paid necessities.
Climate:
Since much of Prague fascination is historical, architectural and
cultural, it can be enjoyed at any time. The average maximum
temperature in September is 18^o C (64^o F) and the weather is
relatively stable.
Currency:
The Czechoslovak Crown is rated approx. 17:1 to DM, approx. 28:1 to
USD. Recently, prices of goods have been increased somewhat. They
are slowly approaching "western standards" but in many respects
Czechoslovakia is considered favourable and cheap for western
tourists.
Transport:
Czechoslovakia is easily accessible by plane. The Prague's airport
is about 15 km from the city centre (the Kajetanka hostel is even
a bit closer). Public transport is relatively cheap, but going by
taxi, it is better to agree on the fare beforehand, since prices are
not fixed and actually depend on drivers. Roads are relatively good
but with only a few motorways which are not so fast as in the West
(speed limits: 110 km/h on motorways, 90 on roads, 60 in towns).
Parking in Prague is generally difficult. There are places to park
in the neighbourhood of the hostel, but not a (guarded) parking.
International trains connect Prague with Berlin, Munich, Nurnberg,
Wien, Warszawa, Budapest, etc.
More particulars will be given in the next (and last) announcement.
Important note:
We can host approx. 300 participants/accompanying persons. On July
10th we must specify the figures, therefore we encourage everybody
to use the reduced price (available untill July 1). Later on, we
would have difficulties with a varying number of participants. We
hope that you will understand our situation. Do not hesitate to
address your questions to the organizers (please, use e-mail, if
possible).

following form (*provided they have not done so before*) and send it

The time is running rather fast: the count down for the EuroTeX 92
Conference already started. As most of you probably know it is
organized by the Czechoslovak TeX Users Group in collaboration with
Charles University and Czech Technical University, Prague, under the
auspices of both Rectors. EuroTeX 92 is supported by French TeX
Users Group GUTenberg and by German TeX Users Group DANTE e.v. The
support helps to bring to Prague representatives of existing or
emerging national TUGs from C&EE Countries. It takes place in Prague
******* from September 14 to September 18, 1992.*******
Registration:
The Registration office will be opened on Sunday, September 13 from
10 am to 8 pm and on Monday, September 14 from 9am to 6pm at
Kajetanka Student Hotel, Radimova Street 12, Prague 6
Phone No: (+422) for Czechoslovakia/Prague and then
316 72 12, or 35 47 50 till 59, or 35 25 50 till 59
`EuroTeX Conference guest XYZ' should be the proper start of
communication (carefull pronounciation and slow communication in
English should work).
There is no Fax available at the hotel, but your phone calls will be
put through by the operator to the participant's room. E-mail will
be available at a special room close to the lecture hall. Ftp and
telnet will be hopefully available, too, but we can not promise it
up to now. For copying public domain software 3,5" diskettes are
strongly recomended (there would be problems with 5,25").
We will also send the hard copy of this final announcement to all
who already sent us the registration form and paid the fee and also
to those who forget about it but we hope they will come. They are
kindly requested to use the SWIFT to transfer money on the
conference account since it is the fastest form of payment which
works also in Czechoslovakia. Those who provided us with their
e-mail address only we cannot reach by surface mail. The final
version of the program is attached below.
About the program:
Conference sessions will take place at the Technical University of
Prague (Czech abbreviation CVUT -- see the map) close to the
terminal station of the subway line C ("Dejvicka") at "Technicka"
Street No 2-4. Bus transfers from Kajetanka will be provided.
Invited talks are marked by stars (**). One star marks tutorials and
BoF, mostly in parallel sessions (since the interest in tutorials
was enormous). The other announcements and/or the Registration form
will be sent to you by e-mail: in case you are interested, send your
enquiry to the e-mail address <eurotex@cspguk11.bitnet>. Daily
bulletin will keep the participants informed about any schedule
changes or news emerging during the conference.
Invited talks are marked by stars (**). Single star marks tutorials
and BoF, in parallel sessions.
Conference proceedings (320pp) will be available at the beginning of
EuroTeX 92. If you are interested in ordering the proceedings
without comming to EuroTeX, please contact

Theatres, pubs, ...
For the accompanying persons special excursions on Wednesday and
Thursday morning will be offered. Other (different) excursions will
be organized on Saturday and Sunday.
Kajetanka (accomodation) -- how to get there ?
Here is a short description, how to use public transport system just
after your arrival to Prague. First, you should buy some tickets
(4,- Kcs (Czechoslovak Crowns) each -- there are some automatic
machines at the subway stations (orange color) or you can use also
tobacconists or the reception desks of hotels in Prague to get them)
-- you are supposed to stamp one ticket per one use of bus, of tram
or of the whole subway transport system (Metro -- the stops are
marked by "M"); within the subway system you can change lines A,B,C
and the ticket is valid for one hour. Public transport is relatively
cheap, but going by taxi, it is better to agree on the fare
beforehand, since prices are not fixed and actually depend on
drivers (prices on taxi-meters are in Kcs).
The shortest paths from the terminals to Kajetanka hotel are as
follows:
1. Trains. From the main railway station ("Hlavni nadrazi"), take
the subway line C (in the direction "Haje") for the next stop
("Muzeum"). At this stop change to subway line A (in the direction
"Dejvicka") and leave the subway at the stop "Hradcanska". At the
upper part of the station follow the sign to "BUS". Then you take a
bus number 108 or 174, which go to the stop "Kajetanka" located just
in front of the hotel.
Other railway stations:
>From "Praha - Holesovice" station use the subway line C and change
at "Muzeum" to the line A (in the direction "Dejvicka"). Continue as
in the previous case.
>From "Praha - Masaryk station" (old name: "Praha - Stred" station)
use the subway line B in the direction "Nove Butovice" and change at
Vaclavske namesti (station "Mustek") to the line A (in the direction
"Dejvicka"). Continue as in the previous cases.
Maps of the Prague subway system are at all its stations and in all
carriages of the subway trains.
2. Flight. From the airport take the bus number 119 to the stop
"Dejvicka".
This is the terminal stop of this bus line and a stop of the subway
line A as well. Change and take the subway to the next stop (station
"Hradcanska") and then use the bus as described above.
3. Car. Roads are relatively good but with only a few motorways
which are not so fast as in the West (speed limits: 110 km/h on
motorways, 90 on roads, 60 in towns). Parking in Prague is generally
difficult. There are places to park in the neighbourhood of the
hostel, but not a (guarded) parking. If you arrive by car along E
50, try to get to the cross called "Vypich" (this name is used on
maps, too) located on the west side of Prague on E 48. (Short
description: leave the motorway at its end and follow to the centre
(sign: "Centrum") downhill for about 1 km; cross a bridge (do not
leave the road to the right !!!) over another big road and follow
the road up to the top of a hill to the traffic lights; you are on
"Vypich", where you should turn to the right.) From this cross,
follow the drive almost straight on to the centre of Prague (to the
east). After about 2 km being on "Patockova" street (former name
"Pionyru", which is still sometimes used) you will see Kajetanka
hotel (it is the only one high building on the left side of the
road). We hope that the small part map (unfortunately too small)
will help you. If you come along E 55 try to follow the direction to
Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) and you will get to the required E 48. Any
road map should suffice to find the way. The Kajetanka hotel will be
on your right. Important remark: a lot of names has been changed
after 1989, even relatively new maps could be wrong as for names.
Performances:
We tried to reserve tickets for the Black Theatre ("Panoptikum ta
Fantastika" Theatre, 15.9. at 20.30, performance "Aspects of Alice",
14 DM or 250 Crowns ) and for Laterna Magica ("The Palace of
Culture", 17.9. at 20.00, performance "Odysseus", 24 DM or 430
Crowns): they will be available during the Registration, but we have
only a limited number of tickets. Those who intend to visit one or
both performances are asked to decide and to be more sure to get
tickets to send an e-mail. Programmes of other theatres will be
available also during the Registration.
What you will get for the fee (without extras): A card for buses,
trams (streetcars) and for the subway from the first day after your
arrival (from September, 14 or 15, till the end of your stay in
Prague), sightseeing tour on Monday afternoon (provided you ordered
it), welcome party, halfpension for Sept. 15 -- 18 (breakfast at
Kajetanka hotel, lunch at the conference site), organ concert,
refreshment during breaks, materials with general information and
daily bulletin, proceedings of EuroTeX 92 (an *interesting* book
with more then 310 pp.) is covered by paying the "package". Remark
that during the Conference the Proceedings of EuroTeX 92 will be
available in the limited number of copies for the *special* price of
25 DM.
Late applicants:
For those who would like to register by e-mail; use e-mail address:
<eurotex at cspguk11.bitnet>
and send the message:
*****
I shall take part in EuroTeX 92, Prague (14.-18.9.1992)
family: name(s):
full address:
passport number:
money will be transferred by SWIFT or paid at arrival (choose one!):
userid:
node:
*****
The same message should be sent to all below mentioned
addresses. Those late comers who will pay after
September 8 should pay 360 DM since it should need
some extra effort to rearrange things properly and we shall
have to pay more for some things. Remark that in such a case
neither the arrival on Sunday, 13 nor having single room is possible.
Payment:
Those who are interested are requested to send
money via SWIFT (!) to the following account
34735-021/0100 at KOMER\v CN\'I BANKA, PRAHA
(there is one "hacek" and one "prime" accent in its name: please, do
not forget to use them). The address of the bank is

110 00 PRAHA 1
Czechoslovakia
while the name of the account is
\v Ceskoslovensk\'e sdru\v zen\'\i{} u\v zivatel\accent23u TEXu
Cancellation:
In case of cancellation (please, do it only if necessary, you would
miss a lot of fun !) we will refund you the amount you paid minus a
sum which regrettably has to be deducted: for cancellation done
before September 12 it will be 10 \% of the payment, and after this
date it will be 10 \% plus the costs of already paid necessities.
Climate:
Since much of Prague fascination is historical, architectural and
cultural, it can be enjoyed at any time. The average maximum
temperature in September is 18^o C (64^o F) and the weather is
relatively stable, but this year is up to now very special
(extremely hot).
Currency:
The Czechoslovak Crown (Kcs) is rated now approx. 18:1 to DM,
approx. 28:1 to USD. Recently, prices have increased somewhat. They
are slowly approaching "western standards" but in many respects
Czechoslovakia is considered favourable and cheap for western
tourists.
