 Electronic Submission
UK - for the first time the JCMT is experimenting with expanding the electronic system
that is a modified version of the HST submission procedures. This worked extremely well collecting the International applications for semester 98A. However, please
bear with us during this expansion phase when we just from collecting and collating 20 applications to dealing with 100 applications.
Fear not, however we experiment, your submissions will not be lost! See
below for further details.
CN - HIA, Victoria has the ability to accept electronic submissions. Please
refer to local information about formats.
NL - these applications are routinely collected electronically at University
of Groningen for processing. They are FTP'ed to JAC. Please refer to
local information about formats.
Int - we will continue experimenting with the electronic system
that is a modified version of the HST submission procedures. Please
bear with us during this phase since we have now included the UK applications into the system.

UK and International Electronic Submission
1 - to obtain the most recent JCMT application template, send an email to
jcmtprop@jach.hawaii.edu with the phrase 'request templates' as
the Subject.
Following text will be ignored. All neccessary files will be emailed back
to you. The PATT3 template has been slightly modified from the version
used for semester 98A so please obtain a new one to complete.
2 - complete the Latex template as instructed in the header section. There
are only minor modifications to this template from the one that you have
already been using. These changes are neccessary because, at some later
date, we intend to automatically parse the returned file to generate the
tables and files that the TAGs require.
3 - email the completed Latex template back to 'jcmtprop'. You are also
required to submit a Postscript version of your application. Each
submission will be acknowledged with a number and several people here
will be informed of its arrival.
4 - if you do not wish to play with the electronic system, you may still, for
this semester, submit your hard copies through the usual route to PATT
Secretariat in Swindon, UK. However, we would like to encourage you to
try out this system.
