Welcome to the SESUG 2002 Proceedings! This CD includes the SESUG 2002 Proceedings, published in September 2002. These are the Papers and Posters scheduled to be presented at the conference. At the time the printed Proceedings and this CD were compiled, all of the scheduled presentations except for a few are included here. All of the SESUG papers on this CD are PDF files. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (or higher) in order to read and search the PDF files on this CD. Earlier versions of Acrobat Reader will not work correctly. The current version of Acrobat Reader (5.0) is stored on the CD in the Acrobat sub-directory. Both a Microsoft Windows and a Mac version can be found there. Some of the papers included on this CD-ROM do not display clearly at the standard magnification. This is due to the font style and size chosen by the individual paper authors, or due to the use of low resolution screen captures. If text appears as gray lines, increase the magnification to view the text. After installing the Acrobat Reader, you can view the files by double-clicking the file PROCEEDINGS.HTML. Ignore any error messages and maximize the browser window. This page has a link to the Proceedings main table of contents page that contains a linkable listing to each section of the Proceedings and links to the individual papers.
