 ;login: What UNIX Documents Would You Like USENIX to Offer? The Association is investigating, subject to obtaining the appropriate copyright releases, printing UNIX documents and manuals needed by its members. The manuals would probably be offered in the 6"x9" format. We would like to know if you would like this service to be undertaken, and exactly what documents and how many of each you will be needing during 1983. Please mail a statement of your projected needs for 1983 to the Association office. If you know of sources for UNIX manuals that sell to the general public please let the office know. If the Association offers manuals in the future they will be priced at a discount to members. USENIX Association Office Report The Association office has been following up on questions received at UNICOM, handling 1983 memberships, finishing distributing the 1982 tapes, preparing for the next distribution tape (see the two related articles elsewhere in this issue), and receiving an awful lot of phone calls. All 1982 Institutional members should have received their 1982 distribution tape or a letter explaining why they have not received it. As of March 1 we still have not received 80 release forms for 1982 tapes. New procedures for verifying licenses for the software distribution tapes were developed with the assistance of AT&T. The office must be sent a copy of each Institutional member’s license(s) with the 1983 membership form. Before any licensed material is sent to an Institutional member the license at the office will be verified with documentation provided by AT&T. It will be up to the member to provide adequate documentation of any changes to the Association. Renewal forms for 1983 were sent to Institutional members in February after the license- verification procedures were worked out. As of March 11 there were 338 Individual and Public members and 121 Institutional members for 1983. (The 1982 membership figures were 402 Individual and Public members and 300 Institutional members: 151 with Educational licenses and 149 with other licenses.)
