EAD list:
To follow the Panorama-Interleaf thread. I called the number on the
Panorama Web page and received a call back from their products team. As
of last week, there is no short term plan to allow users to download an
evaluation version from the Interleaf web page. Panorama must be ordered
by calling the customer service number. This is a change in expectation
for those of us used to referring our users to a web page with
downloadable viewers. Here at Library of Congress, we are attempting to
make documents available in HTML as well as SGML.
