NewJour moderators' note:  on 26 April 2001, the editors of
PACS Review announced that the journal would suspend publication.  PACS
Review was one of the real pioneers of electronic journal
publishing:  first announcement was made on 16 August 1989 and the first
issue appeared on 3 January 1990 -- it is estimated that no more than half
a dozen electronic journals were in existence at that time, however you
define them.  A history of the journal appears at the URL above.  The note
below is one that was posted to NewJour in 1996.
