Getting the ASP LaTeX style files

The ASP LaTeX style file and instructions have been posted on the JAC/UKIRT FTP site. You can retrieve these files using an ftp client and commands such these:

This should get you the following files:

asp2004.sty

the new ASP Conf. Series style file

aspauthor2004_2.ps

author's instructions (Postscript)

aspauthor2004_2.tex

author's instructions (LaTeX file)

Print out the file aspauthor2004_2.ps for a full set of instructions for authors. These instructions explain, step by step, how to prepare your article using the ASP Conf. Series style file (asp2004.sty). Please follow these instructions carefully. No prior knowledge of LaTeX is assumed. Note that a lot of the markup which the PostScript file tells you to include in your TeX file is already present in the aspauthor2004_2.tex file, so cut-and-paste from there may speed you up.

Please let Andy know if you have trouble obtaining or interpreting these files. It is also possible to get them from http://pasp.byu.edu/, but obtaining them from the JAC site will at least ensure that everyone gets the same version (versions appear to have changed once or twice in the last two months).

Deadlines and page limits

As noted previously, the deadline for submission of manuscripts is:

(i.e. three months from the start of the conference). Please, if you have not already, check the author/title listings at the following URL:

http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/JACpublic/JAC/pol2004/papers.html

which gives titles based upon your entries on the ASP copyright forms. We would like to be sure that we have not missed anyone, or misrepresented any titles.

Also as noted previously, page limits will be as follows:

Posters:	2 pages
Contributed talks:	5 pages
Reviews:	12 pages

Discussion notes will not have to come out of your page allowances; sufficient space has been allowed for these to be appended by the editors. We will be sending notes on these questions shortly.

Uploading your files

Once you have written your proceedings, you should upload the files to the JAC ftp server as follows. Type:
ftp ftp.jach.hawaii.edu

Login as anonymous, using your email address as the password.

Then, change to the appropriate directory:
cd incoming/pol2004/posters
or
cd incoming/pol2004/talks

Type:
ls
to list the names of the directions, then cd into your own. For example:
cd Adamson

Then upload your files. For example:
binary
put poster.tex
put figure1.eps
quit
