Cross Country
by Alfred Poor
Production Notes:
This book is the product of desktop publishing. The layout and typesetting were all done using Microsoft Word 6 for Windows on a 90 Hz Pentium system with 24 MB of memory. In spite of the complex formatting (including the various graphics in the different headers), the program never got bogged down, even when the manuscript was assembled into a single, large file.
The text is set in Bookman Old Style (11 points) as a TrueType font, and was output using a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5P at 600 dpi resolution with enhanced resolution enabled for smoother characters.
Not all was done directly on the computer. As Daniel Will-Harris said in one of his books, nobody gives out medals for doing it all by computer. While the photographs and charts started as digital images, they were converted to film by a pre-production service and stripped in by traditional methods. Most of the photographs came from CD-ROM sources, and the remaining photos and the charts were scanned using an HP ScanJet 4c color scanner.
