Using the CD-ROM

Requirements

Any Web browser configured to launch a PDF reader as external application or as plug-in or Adobe Acrobat Reader® 3.0 and higher. If you do not already have a copy of the Acrobat Reader® software to read the files in PDF format you will find a copy on this CD-ROM. Just follow the simple installation instructions (see below).

Navigation

The buttons on the top of the pages let you navigate through the document structure. For each paper an HTML file is provided, which informs you about the title of the contribution, the authors, and the abstract (The images of the mathematical expressions within the HTML page will probably look best together with a text font size 12 or 14 pt). The link at the bottom of the HTML page lets you view the whole paper in PDF format.

Installation instructions for Acrobat Reader®

The papers are held as Adobe Acrobat® PDF documents and the CD-ROM comes complete with Adobe Acrobat Reader® for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX for you to install on your computer if you do not already have a copy of the Acrobat Reader® software.

Acrobat Reader® for Windows 3.x

Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Choose Run from the Program Manager File menu, type [CD-ROM drive identifier]:\ACROBAT\WIN\16BIT\SETUP.EXE (for example, type E:\ACROBAT\WIN\16BIT\SETUP.EXE if your CD-ROM is in drive `E') and press Enter. Follow the installer’s on-screen instructions.

Acrobat Reader® for Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5.1, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98

Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Click the Start button and choose ``Run...'' from the pop-up menu. Type [CD-ROM drive identifier]:\ACROBAT\WIN\32BIT\SETUP.EXE (for example, type E:\ACROBAT\WIN\32BIT\SETUP.EXE if your CD-ROM is in drive `E') and press Enter. Follow the installer's on-screen instructions.

Acrobat Reader® for Macintosh

Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Open the Acrobat folder. Open the Reader folder and double-click the installer icon. Follow the installer’s on-screen instructions.

Acrobat Reader® for UNIX (SUN, HP, IRIX (SGI), AIX and Digital UNIX)

If you are installing in the root file system, you need to log in as superuser. Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. If Volume Manager is present, the CD-ROM will be mounted automatically. Otherwise, mount the CD-ROM using the UNIX mount command (see UNIX systems administrator guide for details). Change to the CD-ROM mount directory. This directory is the root directory for the CD-ROM. To install the Acrobat Reader, change directory to acrobat/unix/. Type ./install. Follow the installer's on-screen instruction. When installation is complete, type <install path>/bin/acroread to launch the Acrobat Reader. (Please note that on some systems file names may appear in upper case.)

If you have any difficulties with the PDF files on this CD-ROM, your Acrobat Reader® contains comprehensive on-line information on all of its features, buttons and menu items. From the Help menu, choose the Reader Online Guide for general instructions, or the Plug-in Help for help on searching.
