                             April 18, 1992
                              Version 1.1


The following is a index of the courses to be offered at ACM/SIGGRAPH'92
in Chicago, IL.  The conference runs from Sunday, July 26 through Friday,
July 31.  The courses are offered on Monday, July 27 and Tuesday, July 28.


The conference is trying something new this year.  We are offering half-day
course.


For complete scheduling details, please refer to the ACM/SIGGRAPH'92 Advanced
Program.   


The subtopics available provide additional details about each
course.  The files have been submitted by the course organizer. Sometimes, the
organizer has included contract information so you can ask specific questions
about each course.  We kept this information in the file but PLEASE LIMIT YOUR
CONTACT TO THE ORGANIZER to questions that must be answered.  Each organizer is
quite busy with many other responsibilities so PLEASE ONLY CONTACT THEM WHEN
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.  Many thousands of Advanced Programs are distributed; the
organizers do not have time to answer questions from each person.
