Abstract
The discovery last year of a planetary system orbiting a millisecond p ulsar raises important questions in pulsar evolution, planet formation , and planetary dynamics. We review the literature concerning pulsar-p lanetary systems, emphasizing particularly the contributions to the me eting Planets around Pulsars held at Caltech in 1992.
