The companion CDROM contains:
1) Full images of the maps as separate JPEG files, in color
where applicable
(The book is in black & white, and some maps
are slightly trimmed for the book format. The larger maps are
printed in separate segments in the book)*
2) Complete copies of some of the old documents, such as the 1749
diary of the surveyors who mapped and described Fort Dummer.
2) all of the text and maps of the printed version of the book
as an Adobe PDF file
3) a copy of Adobe® Reader®
software (for those who do not have it already - this is widely
used software)

More details on the maps on the CD:
* full color copies of many of the maps,
(where the originals are in color). The full copies include
decorative borders.

* Readers can print out excerpts of any map, at any size they
want with their own software and printer.

The larger maps are in several smaller files
so that readers who don't have powerful computers will be able to
use them. Each map folder will have the title block
("cartouche") also available as a separate, small JPEG file for
easy access the map title. The CD
is made for Windows PC computers, but most MAC users will know how
to use the image files.
The Adobe® Reader® software is included for reading the
book. No software is included for reading the JPEG files.
Most computer owners will have file-viewing software already. |
