I should mention that I am collecting all the contributions to the
discussion of the journal proposal and will archive them in the
"seminars" subdirectory of wsystems at csf.colorado.edu
The format problems mentioned by Tieting Su will be solved in time. For now
I would suggest that we use ascii text files. These are easily moved over
internet by ftp and gopher. If authors want to make hard copy figures, graphs,
maps, etc available to readers by request through snail mail they can.
eventually the technology will be able to move graphics. there will soon be
an easily used program that tranlates binary files into ascii files and back.
that will make all things possible.
 
the questions raised by Timmons Roberts are good ones. I would like to see what
 others have to say on these matters.
