A document is -stored as a single file, in a format that we call a "Lectern document". The -application "BuildLectern" constructs these documents, and "Lectern" lets you -view them on your computer. - -A Lectern document contains images of each page of the document (at several -scales), text for the pages (for searching, not for viewing), and global -information about the document (such as a copy of a PostScript version of the -document, if available). - -A Lectern document has a fairly simple internal structure. There's an -internal directory, and a set of components. The components each contain the -bytes for some part of the overall document: a single page image at a -particular scale, or the text for a single page, or the PostScript that was -used to create the document. - -BuildLectern generates a single Lectern document. Its input can be a -PostScript file, or parts of previously built Lectern documents. Or its -input can be original raster-based images (such as a set of TIFF files), -typically at a moderate resolution such as 300 DPI. Finally, BuildLectern's -input can be a combination of all of these. +The goal of the Virtual Paper project is to make on-line reading +an attractive alternative to reading printed documents (such as +books, manuals, or reports). We're talking about actual reading +here, not just browsing or finding documents (though we have support +for that too, as you'll see). And we're talking about documents +that can be as large as full-length books, not just short reports, +and not brief articles such as most electronic mail or WWW pages.
