TIMe Electronic Textbook version 4.0 September 1999

This product is copyright SINTEF 1997, 1998, 1999.

The TIMe Electronic Textbook exists in two variants in three formats; TIMe ELB, TIMe HTML and TIMe PDF.


TIMe ELB

This is the full version in FrameMaker format. TIMe ELB is written in FrameMaker 5.5, and will work on all platforms where FrameMaker or FrameViewer run, using version 5.5 or later. This version has interactive links between text, figures and definitions. The HTML and PDF versions do not support these features, so we recommend the FrameMaker version for serious reading.
Full functionality of the TIMe textbook requires an installed version of the inexpensive FrameViewer or the complete FrameMaker on your system. The FrameMaker files are compressed into a single ZIP file, which must be extracted after download.

To download TIMe ELB, click here (about 26 MB).


TIMe HTML

This is the reduced online variant in HTML format. TIMe HTML is a conversion from FrameMaker to HTML for selected parts of the book, and can be run on any web browser that supports "frames", e.g. Netscape version 3 or later, or Explorer version 4 or later.

TIMe PDF
