All those taking part in the conference will be admitted free. Guests are welcome to join in the evening's entertainment for a FF270 charge. \section{Tutorials} The following tutorials will take place in the week preceeding the conference: \noindent$\bullet$Advanced \TeX nical Details: Philip {\sc Taylor}, {\sc rhbnc}: This course is intended to cover the more advanced featues of \TeX\ macro programming, including such esoteric aspects as |\afterassignment|, |\futurelet|, |\expandafter|, |\uucode|, etc. Some time will be devoted to the area of cross referencing, both via external files and via control sequences, and the manipulation of |\catcode|s will be covered in some detail. \noindent$\bullet$\LaTeX\ Style Files: Chris {\sc Rowley}, Open University: Ever wondered how to make \LaTeX\ do what you wanted? This course will help you understand how to modify \LaTeX\ style files to give quality typesetting, and may even give you the confidence to write your own. Some experience with \LaTeX\ and \TeX\ would be an advantage. \noindent $\bullet${\mf METAFONT}: Doug {\sc Henderson}, Blue Sky Research \& Yannis {\sc Haralambous}, Universit\'e de Lille: The course will cover the basics of {\MF}, but should provide participants with enough information to generate their favourite CM fonts at any design size, tinker with the multitude of parameters, and even start to design their own characters. \noindent $\bullet$Beginning and Intermediate \LaTeX\ Malcolm {\sc Clark}, {\sc pcl}: Become proficient in \LaTeX\ in four days! The course covers the fascinating world of \LaTeX, concentrating on the joys of structured documentation, whilst trying to maintain a facade of quality typesetting. The course will include some details on modification of the style files to European standards, an examination of some publishers' \LaTeX\ style files and the recent additions to \LaTeX, notably the `orthogonal' font styles. Suitable for technical and non-technical alike. \section{Information about the tutorials} The location of the tutorials is different from the location of the congress. They will be held at \'Ecole Normale Sup\'erieure and the Institut Blaise Pascal Paris, on the 17th--20th September 1991. The tutorials will start on Tuesday, September 17th, at 9.30.
