Electronic abstracts may be sent as plain text, or as files in Word, Word
Perfect, PDF, .ps or .prn format. The organizers cannot be responsible
for problems arising from clashes of hardware or software; try to 'embed
fonts' in any files you send and/or avoid the use of non-standard fonts. If
in doubt, mail paper copy in addition or instead. Our first choice is that
you send your abstract in both paper and electronic form, for ease of
communicating with all referees.

For good advice on what is expected in a good abstract, see the LSA's advice
for abstract-writing in the December 2000 Bulletin, available at:
