This document processing application is written entirely using the Java1.1 language, and as such will run on all supporting platforms (currently including Win95, WinNT, MacOS, and many UNIX flavors). In addition to offering the user the standard word processing features, the software also offers : * Embeddable Java Applets and JavaBeans This allows any Java code to be embedded within the document, code such as molecular editors, graphs, charts, equations etc... The demonstration version includes an example 3D Molecular Viewer, which allows 'live' 3D models to be placed into the document. * Distributed Document Server The user has the option to save and load his document to and from either the local disk or to a remote document server. This enables multiple authors to jointly write papers even if they are physically separate form each other and/or using different platforms. * Citations Database Built into the full release version of the software is a complete citations database, allowing references to be placed within documents, and then automatically formatted and numbered as required. * Automatic Journal Styling Papers can be written and then automatically styled for the destination journal. i.e., style for an JACS submission, and then with one click, re-style the whole document (references includes) for a J. Chem. Soc. submission. * Platform Independence The Publisher itself will run on any Java1.1 enabled machine. In addition, its documents are fully portable. * Chemical Formulae Styling Type in a chemical formula in plain text, have the software automatically superscript or subscript the numbers, and place 'proper' arrows where needed. We have just released a demonstration version of the Publisher Lite, showcasing the basic features of the software, and are anticipating a full featured release during the forthcoming summer. We'd be grateful if you would take a look at the web site, which details the project, download and test the software and pass on your valuable comments and suggestions. web : www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/proj/publisher/publisher.html email : publisher(+ at +)emsl.pnl.gov The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory is a Scientific User Facility at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research in the U.S. Department of Energy.
