The ACLPUB uses a 'meta' file (in your local proceedings
direcory) to configure the generation of the CDROM image
when you issue the 'make cdrom' instructions.

It will also use the following fields to generate
the BibTex entries for the papers:
abbrev, booktitle, month, year, location, bib_url.
(See the explanations for format below.)

The publication chairs may provide you with a customized
meta file for your workshop/conference, or you can create
one.

Please check the correctness of the data carefully.
In particular, the personal information of the chairs
should be given as correct and as much as possible.
You can insert additional chairs into the file if necessary.

The 'meta' file has the following format:
(** Don't use capitalized field names such as 'Booktitle'.
They may introduce errors.)
