Technology has moved us to the point where creating a CD-ROM as an alternative to paper volumes is not only cost effective, but also provides an opportunity to add significant value to the information presented, both in terms of quantity and usefulness. The past year has been a pivotal one in terms of access to simple and cost-effective tools and technologies that push “personal publishing” of CD-ROMs closer to reality for a whole range of publishers and information providers. This paper will review the development cycle of SPIE's first CD-ROM product, the Electronic Imaging '93 Proceedings on CD-ROM, a hybrid Windows/Macintosh disc that was created without the use of any of the proprietary (and often expensive) software royalty-based contracts that have been the established turn-key solution until now. The intent of this paper is to provide a first-hand look at the developmental, technical, and financial issues involved in creating a CD-ROM publication.
