The "paper" ALADIN Newsletter 19 and ALATNET Newsletter 2 were published (February 22, 2001) jointly, due to so many links between themselves. The consultation of one of the electronic Newsletters presented here could drive you either on the ALADIN or on the ALATNET web sites. Each Newsletter may prove to be more interesting knowing about the contents of the other one. Thus, the contents of both electronic Newsletters are presented here. They are not exactly similar to the paper joined Newsletter.
