28th EPS Conference on Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics
Madeira, Portugal
18 - 22 June 2001
Notes on formats used on the Conference web pages:
HTML is the most standard format used in the WWW, so it is viewable with any browser without any aditional software. However, the visual layout may not be the best, so if your intention is printing, perhaps you should try another.
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Your browser will not be able to display it unless the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader (version 3.x or newer) plug-in is installed. Acrobat® Reader is a free application and may be downloaded from the Adobe® website (http://www.adobe.com). At the time this page was built, the exact URL for download was: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html.
It may happen that the PDF files don't show properly on the screen. However, they should print without problems no matter how badly they appear on the screen.
RTF stands for Rich Text Format. Usually you will need an application external (Microsoft® Word, for instance) to your browser to read and eventually print files saved in this format.
Postscript is a page description language understood by many high-end printers. In such printers, printing a Postscript file is a matter of sending the file directly to the printer.
"Zipped" means that the actual document comes compressed inside a "Zip" archive to save disk space and bandwidth.
