Having recently completed a number of projects that involved electronic
transfer of documents among several authors and to publishers located in
other countries, I am interested in hearing what problems others have had in
their own experiments in "electronic publishing." What problems has the
electronic medium created for you that you wouldn't have had in the "old
fashioned" world? Here's some general sketches of things that occur to me
as troubles that I've encountered:
added >from's, strange error messages, etc., caused by the
forced use of an inappropriate mechanism (mail) as transfer
medium.
Inconsistent environments causing odd formatting changes
Mailing electronic media across national borders
I'd like to hear what's happened to you! Drop me a line and I'll collect
the responses.
