Electronic Conference on
	Heterocyclic Chemistry.
	29 June - 24 July 1998

Abstract and Article/Poster Submission Procedures

1. The deadline for article and poster submission was 15 May. Everyone who registered should now have a login ID and its password (if you do not, please mail us) and should receive formal notification if your abstract has been accepted shortly. One you have been told it is accepted, you should proceed as follows;
   • If you want to modify your article/poster details (e.g. registered title, author names etc), use this on-line procedure.
   • Please add/replace individual HTML/Image/Molecule files using this on-line procedure. Please do NOT send Microsoft Word files if at all possible. The mechanism only really works if HTML etc is submitted. If you wish to send Word files, please use mechanisms 2 or 3.
   • Molecules can be submitted to the conference database using Peter Ertl's JME (Java Molecular Editor).
2. We also have alternative mechanisms if mechanism 1 causes you any difficulties.
   • Create an archive of your file(s) and email this as an email attachment. Remember to give the archive a distinctive name (i.e. 027.zip rather than echet98.zip), and to name the "home document" (from which all others are called) index.htm . Please note the distinction between the email address echet98@ic.ac.uk, which is used ONLY for discussing articles, and echet98-submit@ic.ac.uk, which must be used for submitting them. We do prefer to receive Web-ready HTML documents, images and molecules, but are happy to accept a Microsoft Word document and e.g. ChemDraw files. We prefer Word 6, Office 97, Office 98 or "Interchange or RTF" format. These will then be converted to Web-form by the conference editors, but please note that a minimal amount of "tweaking" for the Web will be applied.
3. Alternatively, you can send either a Word document or an archive of Web-files (ie in ZIP or Stuffit format) using ftp to our conference ftp account. Using Telnet or an ftp client, connect to ftp.ch.ic.ac.uk , login as anonymous (providing your email as a password), type
   binary
   cd echet98
   put yourfile.zip (or whatever type of file)
   To preserve confidentiallity, you will NOT be able to view a directory of the files placed there. Please also email us on echet98-submit@ic.ac.uk to let us know the file is there.
4. The Abstract registration procedures will remain open for a few more days for those who have notified us requesting a short extension.
