We are considering putting the conference proceedings along with those of the

disks to produce. Our objective is to keep the price at a minimum, but
sufficient to cover expenses. The price of the CD ROM will depend on the number
of copies expected to be sold, probably between $25 and $75.

This is NOT an order, nor a commitment!

Please DO NOT send payment!

If there is sufficient interest, orders will be taken at the conference.



I would be interested in purchasing the NCS Conference Proceedings on CD Rom as
follows:
___ copies, if the price per copy is $25
___ copies, if the price per copy is $35
___ copies, if the price per copy is $50
___ copies, if the price per copy is $75
