Introductory Notes (meetings section)

This issue of VECTOR is mainly devoted to the April workshop on Nested Arrays. For an overtly technical meeting this was extremely well attended, and once again the Royal Over-Seas League came up trumps with excellent facilities. I am very grateful to David Crossley for providing a full write-up of his most interesting talk, and I remain hopeful that we may yet see a more structured version of Graeme Robertson’s fascinating peregrination through the grammar of nested systems!

As for the AGM, our own very brief notes (for which many thanks to my colleague Eileen Dyson) could not attempt to cover the details of what is basically a highly technical subject, viz connecting mainframes and PCs. We are therefore pleased to be able to include Graham Fieldsend’s paper on this valuable but often less-than-riveting topic; there seem to be so many ways of doing things, and none of them seem particularly satisfactory.
