We still have a kardex and check this in by vol. and no. so the lack of a
date is not a problem for us.

We have not received v.18, no.15 either.

We have not received the #17 issue which I assume is Nov.  But #15 is a
special issue "INC 500".  Hope this helps.

The INC issue no. v. 1994:4 is the numbering for the INC TECHNOLOGY edition
and the v. 18:17 is the numbering for the regular issue of INC.  The Inc
technology issues always include both numbering sequence.  The v. 18:no. 15
issue is the INC-500 issue dated 10/22/96.
Hope this helps

Subject:      Re: Numeration of Inc.

On 19 November 1996 Maggie Clarke inquired about the numeration of Inc.

Inc. numbers their Technology issues in two ways.  On the spine is the
numeration for Inc. Technology (#4 for the issue you just received).  On
the table of contents page is the regular volume and issue information for
Inc.  Thus v.18, n.4, published in March, was Inc. Technology #1, V.18,n.9
= I.T. #2, v.18,n.13 = I.T.#3, and v.18,n.17 = I.T.#4. We check in using
the volume and issue number and just make a note in our comments field
indicating which issues were Inc. Technology.  Inc. also published a
special issue in May that was v.18,n.7.

I hope this is helpful.
