^^^^^^^^^

There are many "nonprofit" publishing houses that compete with commercial
publishers. I recommend dropping the words, "at profit".

BTW, check out my free books.

ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS ON NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal
for the publication of significant new and important developments in numerical
analysis and scientific computing. In addition to the rapid publication of
scholarly work, ETNA permits the publication of manuscripts containing
COLOR figures, diagrams, or photographs.

An individual who wishes to obtain a copy of a current or back manuscript can
get a copy through World Wide Web (URL http://etna.mcs.kent.edu) browser such
as Mosaic or Lynx. ETNA's WWW server also provides a KEYWORD search facility
for all of ETNA's publications. To use this facility connect to ETNA's
WWW server and click on "Keyword Index" in the "ETNA Publications" section
of the home page. Using the "Keyword Index" an individual can find and display
any of ETNA's published manuscripts which contain a specified set of keywords.

ETNA is also available through Gopher (etna.mcs.kent.edu),
anonymous ftp (etna.mcs.kent.edu), or through e-mail (send e-mail to
mailer@etna.mcs.kent.edu containing the phrase: send index).

To register to receive ETNA's quarterly list of titles and abstracts, please
send an e-mail message to etna@mcs.kent.edu. The subject of the message
should be: ETNA registration. Titles and abstracts of papers published in
ETNA will be e-mailed quarterly to the return addresses of all such requests.
Inquiries for further information should be e-mailed to etna@mcs.kent.edu.
