The issues designated "printed style" are published in postscript format based on formatting in Latex, and are suitable for printout and reading off line. The issues designated "webpage style" are suitable for reading on line. The "Digest" is a variant of the "Full journal" containing links to other parts of the structure instead of including full text directly.

The News Journals of May 1997 and July 1997 were edited directly and were not based on Newsletters.
