I am just finishing up a catalog for Dominican College that the client
is going to want to put up on their site. I've already done their site
(a couple of years ago), uploaded the files on their server. They have
this old guy, who knows *nothing* about html, etc., maintaining the
site. (e.g., he decided to change the case on the file names [on his
Unix server] then couldn't understand why nothing worked!) I don't know
how difficult it would be to convert the catalog pages (Quark docs, on a
Mac of course!) to pdf, but I'd think that this would be one way they
couldn't be fouled up! Yes, we'll probably do the html (it's really just
a two-column format now), but they also want a way for students and
prospective students to print it out. I've used pdf files to read
on-line documentation in many instances and haven't had a problem. And,
yes, it's nice to be able to print it. Doesn't everyone have a laser
printer of some sort by now?
