The pub/geometry directory also contains some files auxiliary to the
bibliography.  geom.ps is a Postscript formatting of the bibliography,
omitted from the default distribution because of its size (>350 pages).
o-cgc19.ps is the issue of Joe O'Rourke's computational geometry column
discussing the bibliography.

The geombib subdirectory contains an explosion of the tar file, for those
lacking that program.  geom.bib itself however is accessible only by
retrieving the full tar file prepared for contributors.

The big files formerly were also made available using .Z compression,
as well as in chunked form for the presumed benefit of overseas callers
with troublesome ftp connections; however this has been discontinued
after a couple of surveys indicated no one was still using them.  If you
are having problems, please consult a local support person, or
jones@cs.usask.ca.

The bibliography is maintained by its users, with new releases prepared
each March, July, and November.  Contribution reminders and announcements
of new releases are sent only through a mailing list; you can join by
sending mail to majordomo@cs.usask.ca with a body of "subscribe geombib".
(Mail to geombib-request@cs.usask.ca will yield some details about the
list and how to join, but no subscription.)  Note, if you're looking for a
general discussion list for computational geometry, this isn't it:  for
directions on that, send a mail body of "send readme" to compgeom-request@
research.bell-labs.com.
