   In reply to Steve Hardin's enquiry, I think that he refers to the
INSPEC publication.

   I received a letter from them towards the end of last year,
notifying me of their intention to drop the volume numbering from
their abstracting services - Computer and Control Abstracts,
Electrical and Electronics Abstracts, and Physics Abstracts - with
effect from 1992. The letter probably arrived with one of the issues,
which may explain why Steve missed it.

   I have since discarded the letter, so that although I can confirm
the situation I cannot give you the rationale behind it.
