ACQUILEX I and ACQUILEX II papers

The papers are all available either as LaTeX source (standard macros, plus a4.sty, a4abstract.sty, a4wide.sty, examples.sty, avm.sty, macros.sty, tree-dvips.sty, tree-dvips.pro) or as ps files. For long reports made up of several LaTeX files, uufiles has been used to create a single compressed uuencoded tar archive. These files will unpack themselves on a Unix machine - see instructions at beginning of file. Other files have simply been compressed (use binary mode to ftp them). In some cases the papers don't format particularly nicely, because I have removed references to some non-standard LaTeX macros. Hard copies of the ACQUILEX II working papers can be obtained by sending a request marked ACQUILEX WORKING PAPERS to <cide@cup.cam.ac.uk> University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory Technical reports can be obtained by contacting <tech-reports@cl.cam.ac.uk>.
