From: Topology Atlas Sender: message-20.Feb.1998.6@mail.mathatlas.yorku.ca Date: Fri, 20 Feb 1998 03:39:36 -0000 Subject: Your preprints in Topology Atlas SUBJECT: Your preprints in Topology Atlas ATLAS REFERENCE: 20.Feb.1998.6 *********** We want to provide free information useful in both mathematical research and education and to help the mathematical and scientific community become aware of what topologists and mathematicians applying topology in their research are doing. One way of working towards these goals is to maintain as complete a list of preprints as possible. We would like to display your preprints on our web site. In Atlas Preprints, http://www.unipissing.ca/topology/preprint.htm , we maintain lists of preprints ordered by author, title and date. We will soon be adding an option of browsing preprints according to subject classification. If your preprint is already available online, then just tell us where to go and get it. If it is not yet available online, then just send it to us by e-mail or, better still, use our online form. Then we will quickly mirror it on our web servers worldwide and make it available in four convenient formats: TeX, dvi, PostScript and AtlasImage format. We can process documents in any flavour of TeX, as well as DVI, Microsoft Word, Scientific Word, Word Perfect, PostScript and other formats. If you prefer not to make your TeX file available online, then we welcome you to submit only your .dvi file. We will then process this into Postscript and AtlasImage formats. But we will still need an abstract in TeX or ASCII. When you submit a preprint to Atlas, it acquires an official time-stamp. In case of priority dispute, we can then certify that your preprint was submitted to us on that precise date. If you later revise your preprint we again issue an official time-stamp for the revision. Please point your browser at http://at.yorku.ca/cgi-bin/submit/preprint/20.Feb.1998.6 to choose the most convenient method for you to send us your preprint. If you do not have access to a web browser (such as Netscape, Internet Explorer or Lynx), then please send your preprints via e-mail to submit-preprint-ref-20.Feb.1998.6@mail.mathatlas.yorku.ca We are determined to respect the copyright considerations of authors. If your preprint is published in a journal and you decide to transfer your copyright to the journal publisher, then please tell us, at that time, the details of publication (such as name of journal, volume, year and page number). If necessary, we will make an effort to ask you via e-mail after some period whether your preprint has, in fact, been published. If such action is required to comply with the new copyright situation, the preprint will then be withdrawn from the Atlas and only the abstract and the information on the article's publication will remain. A few publishers, however, including the AMS and Elsevier Science (North-Holland), permit the earlier version of the paper to remain on the preprint server. In those cases, the Atlas will continue to make the earlier version (or versions) available, along with information on the subsequent publication elsewhere. Thank-you for your consideration.
