When ez2ascii is run over the following message, the last line is
dropped. Also, the conmversion of symbola{7} just displays a 7 and
nothing else. Perhaps it should be dropped? Anyways, the info-athena
part should have been displayed.

MIT's Project Athena will participate in several activities at the Anaheim
USENIX:
\symbola{7} \italic{\bold{Software Distribution}} Project Athena will make its
network services software (along with select applications) available for
copying through the facilities available in the terminal room. Approximately
40 Mb of data will be available, including our \italic{Kerberos}
authentication service, \italic{Hesiod} naming service, \italic{Zephyr}
notification service, and \italic{Moira} systems management service. This is
the same software which is available on tape from the MIT Software
Distribution center; bring your own tape and save a few hundred dollars.
\symbola{7} \bold{\italic{Kerberos V5}} A \italic{works-in-progress} session
on Friday at 2:00PM will discuss the ongoing work on Version 5 of the
\italic{Kerberos} authentication system. This is the same system which was
recently chosen by the Open Software Foundation as their choice of
authentication service for their Distributed Computing Environment offering.
\symbola{7} \bold{\italic{The Evolution of Turnin: A Classroom Oriented File
Exchange Service}} This paper will be presented by Bill Cattey during the
Applications parallel session on Thursday afternoon between 2:00-3:30PM. As
used by faculty and students at MIT, \italic{turnin} and its associated
utilities are used to hand in and grade homework assignments, pick up course
handouts, etc.; this system can easily assist those in need of tools to
support computer-based cooperative work.
\symbola{7} \italic{\bold{Network Services}} There will be a Project Athena
birds-of-a-feather session on Thursday evening at 8-10PM (room TBA). There
will be a brief presentation which will describe our network services and
their applications, and there will be time to ask questions of our staff.
The abstract which will guide our discussion appears below.
\quotation{MIT's Project Athena has developed several services to make large
(more than 1000 workstations) heterogenous workstation environments manageable
and useful. These services have been in use at MIT for several years now, and
are in use at sites all over the world. This BOF provides a forum for those
who use the Athena software now, as well as for those who are building large
workstation environments who seek solutions to some of the problems that come
with such environments.}
\italic{\bold{Questions about Project Athena?}} Come to the Project Athena
BOF on Thursday evening; we'll be glad to answer your questions then. If you
can't get to the BOF, feel free to leave a message (with your business card)
on the message board under \italic{Athena} and we'll reply during or after the
conference. You may also use e-mail to send your query to
\italic{info-athena@MIT.EDU\
