Sign up for a consultation with experts from leading CD-ROM firms. NOTE: This 'workshop' takes place in individual 15-minute one-on-one sessions. Please try to arrive early and sign up for your time slot; then you're on your own (visit the exhibits? call your office?) until your session time. This way, all participants receive the complete attention of a CD-ROM consultant. We'll work with drop-ins if any time slots remain unassigned. http://tc.eserver.org/24977.html http://tc.eserver.org/24977.html CD-ROM (compact disk read only memory) multimedia technology has opened the door to vast quantities of readily accessible information for personal computer users. For a product to qualify as a multimedia effort., it must incorporate sound (recorded music and voice) and dynamic graphics (video and/or animation), as well as static text and graphics. http://tc.eserver.org/24293.html http://tc.eserver.org/24293.html The amount of complexity involved in providing technical documentation on CD-ROM depends on the document formats you want to support, the extent to which you customize the publishing packages and the design expectations for the finished product. Issues and decisions include: (1) choosing software packages, (2) structuring files, directories and writing style for the medium, (3) adding navigation and userfriendly features, (4) providing (and obtaining!) technical support and (5) working with a CD-ROM manufacturer. The payoff includes the satisfaction of providing a truly value-added product and—not incidentally—the increased technical skills acquired by documentation staff.
