This page lists all presentations given at TC40. Wherever AsLing has been provided with the presentations, links to these are provided below. Most are in the form of PowerPoint shows (pps or ppsx formats), i.e., uneditable versions, but with animation by the presenters included. If you do not have Microsoft PowerPoint installed, you can download a free viewer from the Internet. A few are available as PDFs, either where the presenters provided us only with files in this format, or where – because the PowerPoint files are very large, a pdf is also provided for quick download and viewing.
