I am currently doing a group research project on Open Document Architecture. My section is to investigate Adobe's Carousel approach to this problem. All my attempts to find information have drawn a blank. So if anyone has any information or knows where I can get hold of some, could you please e-mail me and let me know.

Adobe has renamed this effort to Acrobat. There are press releases and technical overviews available from Adobe. I don't know what other information they may have.

carousel was renamed acrobat.
according to today's new york times (in the article on ``microsoft at word'', in the jump on p5):
Next week, Adobe plans to introduce Acrobat, a program that allows documents to move more easily among different computer systems, ...
i am just quoting a public source and not making any statement for adobe. on the other hand, the people who know stuff probably can't say anything until the product is announced.
looking around the adobe public ftp server (ftp.adobe.com), i did find one press release, in pub/adobe/Updates/921123.Acrobat.press, but i'm not sure that that has much you're interested in.

As another message pointed out, what used to be called Carousel is now called Acrobat.
The complete specification of the Portable Document Format (PDF), which is the native file format of the Acrobat family of products, will be published by Addison-Wesley. The book will be available this summer and is called the Portable Document Format Reference Manual (ISBN 0-201-62628-4).

Adobe just shipped the book desribing the Acrobat (the release name of the product) format to developers. The book is called the "Portable Document Format Reference Manual" by Tim Bienz and Richard Cohn to be published by Addison-Wesley. The first Acrobat products should ship in a few weeks. These will be products for reading and generating PDF files on Windows and Macintosh platforms.
You might be able to get more information from Adobe's anonymous ftp address ftp.adobe.com or via their mail server: ps-file-ser...@adobe.com For information on how to use the mail server, send a message to it with the word "help" in the subject line and with nothing in the body message.
Good luck in your project. Michael Slade, Datavision Technologie, msl...@netcom.com

I believe Carousel was abandoned and has been or will be released in a different form called Acrobat. -- Eric Jacobson - jacob...@rrdtc.donnelley.com - Lisle, Illinois | Taste, chew, I express my own (not my employer's) opinions. | _and_ enjoy!
