A. the CD-ROM A. The CD-ROM ~ll complete!' said the Toad triumphantly, pulling open a locker. 'You see ... everything you can possibly want...you'll find that nothing whatever has been forgotten ... ' Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows The disk that accompanies this book contains software and documenta­ tion for systems designed for use with SGML, and also for some which are more general-purpose but have some specific SGML applications. Although I have tried to make the documentation as obvious as pos­ sible, I have avoided starting on the bottom rung of trying to teach the use of the keyboard, the mouse, and the operating system (see the assumptions alluded to earlier, which are in section 1.3). Not all the programs described in the book are on the disk, as many of them are regular commercial products for which no free or demo version exists. By the same token, not all the programs on the disk are necessarily described in the book, as I have tried to make the disk as up to date as possible, and the lead-time for printing is longer than that for making the disk. If you don't have access to MS-Windows to use the Synex ViewPort browser provided (see next section), you can read the same information by using your regular Web browser to open the INDEX. HTM file on the CD-ROM. The disk is written in ISO 9660 format, so that it is usable on Macs, PCs, and Unix systems. 384 Peter Flynn A.1. BrOwsing the CD-ROM: using SyneX/lnso ViewPort Synex, makers of the ViewPort SGML browser engine for MS-Windows, have kindly provided a copy of their demonstration browser for you to use with this CD-ROM. It's not marketed as a separate product, because they license it to people who want to embed the browser technology in their own products, but this is the latest version and it provides a useful way of seeing what's what and using SGML to do so. If you're not running MS-Windows, you can use any regular (HTML) Web browser to view the same information in HTML files. MS-Windows users can run the browser directly off the CD-ROM using the browse. bat file. If you wish, you can copy the browser instal­ lation (the SYNEX folder) to your hard disk (for example to c: \Program Fi 1es \Synex), but you will need to update the configuration file SY.INI in the c: \wi ndows directory to reflect the correct hard disk letter. A.2. Words of warning about the software Two small warnings are needed: 1. The conditions in which you use the software, the nature of your data, and the configuration of your computer are outside my con­ trol, so please ask the manufacturer or the software author if you need further details about a product or the way it works, not me or my publisher. 2. All the programs on the disk have been obtained from reliable sources, either from the manufacturers themselves (in the case of commercial software), or from a trusted archive or the original author (in the case of public domain software). Where facilities exist the executables have been virus-checked, but as neither I nor my publisher wrote the programs, we cannot be held responsible for their contents, nor their effect on your system or data. A.3. How does It work? The CD-ROM is written in plain ISO 9660 format, so you can use it on Apple Macs, PCs (MS-DOS and MS-Windows), and Unix workstations Understanding SGML and XML Tools 385 which support the CD File System, but on older computers you may need to update your CD-ROM driver software (consult your supplier for details). CD-ROM format and filenames The ISO 9660 CD-ROM format (sometimes called a 'multisession' CD-ROM) can be used on multiple platforms because it restricts two aspects of the file system: • the file names and folder names are all UPPER CASE; • no folders can nest more than eight deep. For this reason, all software is kept in the following archive or compressed formats which contain the applications with preserved mixed-case filenames within them: • ZIP files (DOS/Windows and VMS): unwrap with UNZIP; • HQX files (Macs): unwrap with UnStufflt; • TAZ files (Unix): unwrap with gunzip then tar; In most cases there is a self-installing SETUP or make program which you run to install the application. In a few cases the setup is manual, and the software author has provided instructions in a README or INSTALL file. Unzipping and other public decompression tools are in the UT I LS folder in each platform directory. I have not modified any of the software in any way, so if there are instal­ lation problems, inquiries should be directed to the software author; please, not to me. Apart from the software, some of which is specific to certain platforms, there are DTDs, stylesheets, and SGML documentation which can be used on all systems (see section A.S below). Most of the examples and illustrations have been taken from MS-Windows versions of the software because that was the closest to hand at the time of writing, but the principles apply equally to all platforms. The top-level (root) directory of the CD-ROM has folders for the various platforms and one for the ViewPort browser (an application for MS-Windows to let you browse the SGML documentation on the disk): 386 Peter Flynn [j :J :J :J :J wi BfCl wnr mae '": soml ~ :.J'ims CATALOG' II Ra~ 8.htm fII] Rudme.Jom Ra~dm. _txt The SGML folder contains DTDs and reference documentation and has a different structure to the platform-specific folders. The PC folder is subdivided into DOS and Windows (I am not aware of any SGML software exclusively for Windows NT alone yet: 32-bit software for Windows is typically written to execute on Windows 95 as well as NT). Within the platform folders, the structure follows (where possible) the life-cycle approach of the chapters of the book: x fOe (dO _ I!oO> ~ :J :J :J .:J .::J a,<w"" d.v,101) edit CI~choes IUIrn OM! .:J ~ ....J 'wi! ~ ,w .n~ • .hU'n1 ,.,dme,soml """. """'H l!ffii~@ 12 ..).db) '1-"" Each of the upper-level folders has a plaintext INFO file containing information in unmarked text, so you can read it in any simple editor or word processor even if you haven't started using SGML yet. The same information is in two other files, an SGML README which you can use with the ViewPort demonstration browser supplied on the disk, and a HTML I NDEX file which you can read with any standard Web browser such as Opera, Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. In the SGML folder, the DTDS subfolder contains zipped copies of all the Document Type Descriptions covered in section 1.5.1.5, and the ENTITIES folder contains zipped copies of the standard ISO character entity files which are referred to by DTDs to specify symbols and ac­ cented characters. These are all plaintext files, so they are usable on all systems. There is a master CATALOG file in standard OASIS (SGML Open) format at the top level of the CD-ROM directory structure, which gives the equivalences between the file names for all the DTDs (and the character entity files) and their Formal Public Identifiers (explained in sections page 145 and page 153) . You can install all these files on your hard disk by using the setup program if you use a PC, or by copying them manually on other systems. The following folder names are rec­ ommended for installation, with 'dtds' and 'entities' subdirectories within them: Understanding SGML and XML Tools 387 Platform Disk prefix Directory name PC c: \sgml Mac Hard Disk :sgml Unix [none] /usr/local/lib/sgml VMS SYS$LOGIN: [.sgml] On shared system such as VMS and Unix, you may not have access to the root directory or the system disk, so you may have to install the folders by hand elsewhere withing your personal directory structure and make the relevant changes to the catalog file. In the other folders, the software is supplied either as self-extracting installation programs (. SEA files for Macs; . EXE files for PCs) or as plain compressed files (.ZIP, .GZ, or .SIT archives). The Unix software is in . TAR. GZ format. The dearchiving and uncompressing programs needed to handle these are in the UT I LS folders for Macs and PCs (Unix systems come with copies themselves already). If a program has installation instructions supplied by the author, these are included in each program subdirectory without change; sometimes in a file with a name such as INSTALL. If there were no separate instructions, I have provided some in a file of that name. Most of the self-installing software must be copied to your hard disk before trying to run the self-installer, because it needs to create temporary files, and this is not possible on a CD-ROM. I am told that there is a small amount of SGML software for the Atari and Amiga, which are still popular and useful machines, but I have been unable to track it down, even after many requests. Regrettably, there is still very little SGML-specific software available for VMS or Macs by comparison with the PC or Unix world. Despite two decades of proving its worth, the Mac is still regarded by many software developers as a niche machine for artists.

  • CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM Drives) Are the Hardware Devices That Read Computer Data from Disks
    A Brief History of CD/DVD The first disc that could be written and read by optical means (using light as a medium) was developed by James T. Russell. In the late 1960s, Russell created a system that recorded, stored, and played audio/video data using light rather than the traditional contact methods, which could easily damage the disks during playback. Russell developed a photosensitive disc that stored data as 1 micron-wide dots of light and dark. The dots were read by a laser, converted to an electrical signal, and then to audio or visual display for playback. Russell's own company manufactured the first disc player in 1980, although the technology never reached the marketplace until Philips and Sony developed the technology. In late 1982, Philips and Sony released the first of the compact disc (CD) formats, which they then called CD-DA (digital audio). In the years since, format has followed format as the original companies and other industry members developed more adaptations of the original specifications. Digital Versatile disc (DVD) had its beginning in 1994, when two formats, Super disc (SD) and Multimedia CD (MMCD) were introduced. Promoters of the competing technologies failed to reach an agreement on a single standard until 1996, when DVD was selected as a convergence format. DVD has, in the few years since, grown to include variations that do anything that CD does, and more efficiently. Standardization and compatibility issues aside, DVD is well-placed to supplant CD. Magnetic vs Optical Media Optical media are storage media that hold information in digital form and that are written and read by a laser; these media include all the various CD and DVD variations, as well as optical jukeboxes and autochangers.

  • CD Burning with Mac OS X
    CD Burning with Mac OS X Software: Macintosh OS X and iTunes Platform: Macintosh Connection:N/A Availability: Purchase/Labs Why create a CD-ROM? CD-ROMs are a low-cost media that can hold large amounts of information in a variety of formats. Also, nearly every computer today has a CD-ROM drive, so your data can be transported easily. While most people are introduced to CD-ROM burning as a way to create custom audio CDs, CD-ROMs are well suited for archiving and backing up personal data. In the classroom, existing electronic resources can be easily incorporated into a CD-ROM. Step 1. Decide what kind of CD you want to create Macintosh Files & Folders - This is the easiest method for burning for Mac. Macintosh Volume - This allows you to make an exact duplicate of another CD ISO 9660 - PC Format. Make sure fi le names are legal. Macintosh/ISO 9660 - “Hybrid” CD for both Macintosh and PC platforms Audio - For creating music CDs Step 2. Planning Gather your content This includes all the material you want to burn on the CD-ROM. Archive word documents, e-mail, presentations, PDF fi les and other traditional computer fi les. You may also need to collect any media fi les such as graphics, audio fi les, or movie fi les. In some cases, you may want to convert your fi les from one fi le type to another prior to creating your CD. For example, you may want to convert a word document to a PDF document prior to distribution.

    Object Synchronisation and Security for Mobile Communication Devices By Torbjörn Borison Royal Institute of Technology Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan 2001-09-20 Examiner and academic Prof. Gerald Maguire Supervisor: Department of Teleinformatics Royal Institute of Technology Corporate Supervisor: Johan Hedin Ericsson Radio System AB Abstract The main objective of this master’s thesis project was to investigate and find solutions to the problem of how to combine the SyncML synchronisation specification with object security and thus protection of personal information, such as contacts and calendar entries in mobile devices. SyncML is a new synchronisation specification agreed upon by major device developers (Ericsson, Palm, Motorola, etc.) and the major synchronisation server developers (Starfish, Puma, fusionOne, etc.). It is independent of transport (HTTP, WSP, or OBEX) platform, operating system, and application and simplifies synchronisation of personal information between dissimilar SyncML supportive devices. SyncML compliant devices are fully capable of synchronising information with a third party operated Internet based server and a desktop computer. This allows us to access, up-date and maintain information independent of Intranets or geographical position. However, synchronising and storing confidential personal information on an third party operated Internet based server entails weaknesses in our personal information security. Even if transport and storage security are used, how secure is the server where this information is stored since this server has the highest probability of being attacked. Can we really trust that an employee or other person with valid appropriated administrators access to the storage facility with the appropriate knowledge, working together with the third party server operator, won’t try to access our stored information? To prevent this, the personal information’s confidentiality must be guaranteed before the information leaves the device.

    VIS 215, Graphic Design Princeton University 185 Nassau Room 303 Tue 1:30 – 4:20 pm, 7:30 – 9:40 pm David Reinfurt / [email protected] www.t-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y.org T-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y This class will be organized as either (take your pick) a practical seminar or, a theoretical workshop. It will not be a simple exercise in learning the tools of graphic design but neither will it be a grand tour through its history and theory. Instead the class will be run as half-workshop and half-seminar, usually at the same time. Graphic design has an equally split personality — it’s both the technical execution of writing words (images, ideas) into the world by giving them form; and it is also a way of understanding the world through the forms of its writing. Designer and writer Paul Elliman describes the two-way street concisely: “Writing gives the impression of things. Conversely, things can give the impression of writing.” I’d suggest that this reading-and-writing-at-the-same-time, or typography, is the root-level skill of graphic design. So in this introductory class, we will focus on typography by both reading about and making it. The word “Typography” has split roots as well. Evolved from the Greek, “typos” means “figure” and “grapho” means “I write.” This two-sided practice (reading- writing) I’ve just described is even written directly into the word “typography” itself. If there is one fundamental skill that every beginning graphic design student should master, it is this: to be able to set a text so that the form it is given works together with the substance of the text to produce a third meaning.

  • The Internet As a Course Support Tool in Pharmaceutical Sciences Education: a Primer
    The Internet As a Course Support Tool in Pharmaceutical Sciences Education: A Primer David J. McCaffrey III Alicia S. Bouldin Kathryn F. Gates SUMMARY. The move toward increasing student-centered learning efforts and improving students’ cognitive interaction with the course content is becoming increasingly evident in U.S. higher education. Pharmacy education is not an exception. However, such interactive learning may require consideration of alternative ways to deliver course content, especially for the large lecture class. For these and a variety of other reasons, pharmaceutical sciences educators have started looking to the Internet to support or supplant traditional instructional methodol- ogies. The integration of Internet-based elements into pharmaceutical science course offerings familiarizes students with technologies and behaviors that are likely to persist and improve throughout their ca- David J.
