  links/      : AMAST newsletter
     Contents : 
                AL-Index.html, v03/, v02/, v01/, sample/

       Note     : The file AL-Index.html provides WWW users with links
                  to individual issues of the AMAST newsletter: both
                  those of `AMAST Links' (regular series, started in
                  October 1994), and the previously appeared sample
                  issues (see description of sample/ below).

                  Each annual volume of `AMAST Links' is located in a
                  separate subdirectory vnn/ (where `nn' is the volume
                  number); within this, each issue of AMAST Links nn
                  is stored in a separate subdirectory imm/ (where `mm'
                  is the issue number), both as a single, whole-issue 
                  (hyper)text file, and as a collection of distinct
                  (hyper)text files, with each of these only containing
                  one page of that issue.

                  File naming conventions are as follows, where `vv',
                  `ii', `pp', and `tt' are variables, respectively
                  denoting
                    vv : volume number   (two digits)
                    ii : issue number    (two digits)
                    pp : page identifier (two characters)
                    tt : file extension  (.txt and .html are available)
                  
                  ALvvii.tt     : the whole issue AMAST Links vv ii
                  ALvvii-ToC.tt : the ToC page of AMAST Links vv ii
                  ALvviipp.tt   : page pp of AMAST Links vv ii

                  The directory of each issue of AMAST Links may have a
                  subdirectory full/, where more detailed information
                  is stored, that is referred to in the corresponding
                  newsletter. Only the presence, not the contents, of
                  those subdirectories is documented here.

       Note     : each sample issue of the newsletter is available in
                  a separate subdirectory, both as a single text-file
                  and as a set of distinct text-files, where each of
                  these only contains one page of the sample issue.
                  File naming conventions are as follows (where `xx',
                  `y' and `z' are variables):
                  
                  SIANxx.txt     : the whole sample issue xx
                  SIANxx-ToC.txt : the ToC page of sample issue xx
                  SIANxxpy.txt   : page y of sample issue xx
                  SIANxxpy-z.txt : page y.z or y-z of sample issue xx

                  Starting from issue03/, there is also a hypertext
                  version of the newsletter:

                  SIANxx.html

                  Starting from issue04/, each directory issuexx/ has a
                  subdirectory full/, where more detailed information
                  is stored, that is referred to in the corresponding
                  newsletter. The contents of those subdirectories are
