ELECTRONIC TYPESETTING METHODS

六年来，我们一直在探索各种方法， 为电子排版收集和编码文本， 政府印刷局。 既消除了密钥更新， 排字工人的手稿和校样阶段， 生产使我们的排版成本降低了百分之八十。 我们继续改进现有的编码格式， 简化了几个代码。 我们还诊断出一个错误， 的程序，并与IBM合作解决问题。 我们代表国家卫生研究院印刷分支会见了Jesus， 调查了一个概念的电信之间的电子邮件和 NIH，类似于FDA和国会现在使用的。 这 这只是一个遥远的可能性，缺乏适当的 在NIH的计算机资源 我们第一次用软盘测试我们的排版方法 磁盘而不是磁带。 尽管这会使一些 国内生产方面，软盘承诺更好的回报 时间和更好的控制。 1987财年DCRT年度 REPORT是用这种方法制作的第一份出版物。

For six years, we have been exploring various methods for collecting andencoding text for electronic typesetting by the Government Printing Office. Eliminating both the rekeying of manuscripts by typesetters and the galley proof stage of production has cut our typesetting costs 80 percent. We continued to improve upon our existing coding formats, by simplifying several codes. We also diagnosed an error in one of the GPO programs, and worked with GPO to solve the problem. We met with GPO on behalf of the NIH Printing Branch to investigate the notion of a telecommunications between GPO and NIH, similar t what is now used by FDA and the Congress. This proved to be only a distant possibility, lacking appropriate computer resources at NIH. For the first time, we tested our typesetting methods using floppy disks rather than magnetic tape. Although it complicates some aspects of internal production, floppies promise better return time and offer better control. The FY1987 DCRT ANNUAL REPORT is the first publication produced with this method.
