             invite you to the lecture (series)
 
             What things do we want NTS to do?

                       given by

                      Hans Hagen

  Abstract: When summarizing developments of TeX extension,
  we can conclude that eT eX has smoothed the path to NTS
  by providing a suitable arena for discussions. At the same
  time pdfTeX opens the road to a more drastic deviation from
  traditional TeX, if only by boosting TeX into the next century
  where graphics and interaction will dominate. Taco Hoekwater's
  eeTeX makes clear that we cannot neglect the input side
  and should closely follow the developments in the SGML field.
  The lesson learned is that we should not be too afraid to
  extend TeX.

Lecture will be given at Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk
University, Brno, Czech Republic, Botanicka 68a, on
Saturday December 11th, 1999, 11:20 AM in multimedia
