ANNOUNCEMENTS

Announcing the CAPN Homepage

A World Wide Web site has now been established for CAPN. The site currently features this edition of the Bulletin as well as previous issues beginning with Volume 25.2 (Fall 1994), an up-to-date membership list, membership information, a brief history of CAPN, and a few more goodies. The site is very much under construction, and the editor welcomes any comments or suggestions (alain @u.washington.edu). The site looks best on Netscape, but any WWW browser (e.g., Mosaic, Lynx) will work.

The address or URL is: http://weber.u.washington.edu:80/~alain/CAPN/CAPN_Homepage.html
