Abstract submission

    The abstract deadline for the Sympoisum on "new directions in chemical modeling"
is February 28, 2000.

    Please sign onto the web site http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/csc2000/callfor.htm
<http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/csc2000/callfor.htm>  for information on how to
proceed.

    This conference has had considerable success using the Hermes
software package for preparing, submitting and editing abstracts.  Please
follow the instructions carefully.  It works best if you use a PC; us poor
Macintosh users are at a disadvantage.

 Here are some hints.

1. <fontfamily><param>Trebuchet_MS</param>If you have a PC with Windows, or a
Mac with Virtual PC, you may download HERMES from <color><param>9999,3333,0000</param>http://www.ozonesoftware.com</color> and
follow the easy-to-use instructions.
2. Alternatively, you may ask a departmental system administrator to
download and install HERMES on a public PC with Windows, or a Mac with
Virtual PC. Abstracts prepared by either route 1 or 2 may be submitted
(uploaded) via the same site,
<color><param>9999,3333,0000</param>http://www.ozonesoftware.com</color>.
 

3. The least preferable alternative is to produce your abstract in
Microsoft Word. Authors who choose this route, or who use web browsers
incapable of uploading files, can submit their abstracts via FTP. The
host machine is called www.ozonesoftware.com <http://www.ozonesoftware.com>
-  username = calgary, password = calgary (both lower case). Please specify binary or image
mode when putting the file to the server. We will then produce a HERMES
file for you. Please note: the deadline for Abstracts submitted by this
route is January 31, 2000. Later submissions will only be accepted via
HERMES. Note also: only MS Word documents (.doc or .rtf) will be
accepted. Please ensure that all of the required fields are specified
and that your abstract will fit into the space allocated by
HERMES.</fontfamily>

Note: fill in the title for the Symposium: New directions in chemical modeling

Also, could you send me the title of your talk so I can update the web page. I
don't have acces to the abstracts before after February 28
