Since I've been having trouble reaching all registrants by direct mail
paths, I'm also sending the agenda to this list.  Anyone not yet
registered who wants to do so should send mail to
xconference@zermatt.lcs.mit.edu giving name, postal address, phone
number, and which if any of the tutorials you want to attend.  The
conference is (still, as of this writing) free.
