Hi, everyone, By now we should have received a 'final' copy of your postscript file of your submission; if you have not done so, please send a copy of whatever you have immediately. We are currently reviewing submissions for compliance with the author instructions. In a few cases, we added clarifications (e.g., omit page numbers). For those who have already submitted, you should have received a response with specific formatting to correct. Would you please review your formatting according to the following "checklist", and resubmit if necessary, ASAP? (we need to have final submissions very quickly; please send them by Wed July 28, 1999).
