[note from moderator: it is quite possible that as result of a labour dispute at Mount Allison University the categories list may be dormant for an undetermined period. I will attempt to let you know and provide alternate access to the list if this happens; thanks for your patience. regards to all, Bob] Here is the table of contents and associated information for Theory and Applications of Categories for 1998.

The scope of the journal includes: all areas of pure category theory, including higher dimensional categories; applications of category theory to algebra, geometry and topology and other areas of mathematics; applications of category theory to computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences; contributions to scientific knowledge that make use of categorical methods. Articles appearing in the journal have been carefully and critically refereed under the responsibility of members of the Editorial Board. Only papers judged to be both significant and excellent are accepted for publication. The method of distribution of the journal is via the Internet tools WWW/ftp.
