setting and information processing with traditional and new media. Books in the series
address the practical needs both of users and of system developers. Initial titles comprise
handy references for ET# users; forthcoming works will expand that core, Ultimately, the
series will cover other typesetting and information processing systems, ad well, especially
insofar as those systems offer unique value to the scientific and technical dommunity. The
series goal is to enhance your ability to produce, maintain, manipulate, or reuse articles, Illustrating documents with
papers, reports, proposals, books, and other documents with professional quality.
