The ISSN is 1065-7657.

Some members may recall that the excellent Sesame Bulletin ceased 
publication a year or two ago, and referred its subscribers to the new 
Multilingual Computing. It was hoped that one journal would fill the 
need better than two.

Since then, it has become apparent that the two publications are quite 
different. Multilingual Computing is heavy on product reviews; Sesame 
Bulletin carried articles on topics of multilingual computing, some 
theoretical, some technical, a few product-specific, but most 
cross-product in coverage.

Because of dissatisfaction with the lack of the latter type of 
coverage, Sesame Bulletin has resumed publication. Every library 
attempting to support this area should have a subscription to Sesame, 
though individuals may find it a bit pricey (around US$50, as I 
recall).  ISSN is 0950-2025. The address 

	Sesame Computer Projects
	8 Avenue Road
	Harrogate
	North Yorkshire
	HG2 7PG
	England

(The Editor, John Clews, is the author of *Language Automation 
Worldwide: The Development of Character Set Standards*, 1988, 
ISBN 1-870095-01-4 --still the best single volume coverage of the 
subject)
