What follows is an announcement by Dan Foreman about technical
seminars being conducted in varous Australian cities.

Provisional dates for Perth are Novermber 20th/21st. The seminar
for Perth has been pencilled in, but we are still a little low
on numbers to make it worthwhile for the "team" to come over here.

Please advise me by/on Friday, October 13th (should be easy enough
to remember) by either voice or email if you are interested.

Please read the announcement, and if you're interested, then send me a
mail reply, indicating possible number of participants. Contact info
(email/phone/fax) for all interested would be very helpful, as it will
allow for rapid dissemination of information updates.
