Colophon

1. Authors received rough guidelines from the editors, together with the corresponding LATEX style. This formatter was recommended, but not mandatory. The main reason for using such a style was to allow authors: (a) to know if their text was too long, and; (b) to prepare figures which would fit into the physical frame of the page. 2. Following these guidelines, authors prepared their papers using various formatting systems (such as LATEX, Microsoft Word, FrameMaker, etc.) and sent them to the editors through different channels (email, ftp, floppies, etc.). 3. The editors translated this heterogeneous material into LATEX files, using the house style epodd.sty designed by John Wiley & Sons. 4. Source texts were then corrected both for typography (use of space, capitalization etc.; generally, though not entirely, in accordance with the rules of [3]) and for English idiom (note that more than half of the authors are not native English speakers). 5. In a parallel process, figures and images were electronically pasted in as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, either supplied by the authors or generated by the editors. 6. More typographical corrections were made by the EP–odd team. 7. The corrected papers were rerun through LATEX, and the output was converted to PostScript and transferred to a Linotronic typesetter to produce high-resolution bromides which were sent as camera-ready copy to the publisher.
