(We changed servers and Unix flavors, and some things needed a bit of tweaking.) If you've had trouble with these various automatic features recently, please try them again; if they give you any trouble, send the webmaster e-mail at web99@99.nasfic.org. I recently added a link off of "Basic Information" and "Related Links" to the "Science Fiction Convention Survival Kit for Newbies," which is mostly comprised of a bunch of hand-outs that Norwescon provides in a special "Neofan Track" set of programs. If you're new to all this, you might find it of interest.
