The first edition of the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic 
Computing Newsletter is now available as an Acrobat PDF (~5Meg 
and 106 pages) (and also as a "degraded" HTML file) at:

  http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/newsletters/2003jan/
and IUCr mirrors.  E.g.,:

Its main intended audience is that of crystallographic programmers;
people who like to look under the bonnet of the programs they are
using; and those interested in crystallographic programming.  There
are also general articles of possible interest to those who use
crystallographic software as a black box, and/or interested in topics
surrounding crystallographic computing.

The next intended issue is scheduled to appear around June/July 2003.
Submission of articles for this next edition are welcome.

A Table of contents for the current January 2003 edition follows.
