The Project Archival Navigator: a new tool for presenting and archiving information

The Project Archival Navigator (PAN) software is a new way of presenting and archiving information on a PC. Developed under the auspices of an Air Force laser experiment and originally used to present and archive experiment results, its authors, Applied Technology Associates (ATA), envision commercial markets for the PAN. Towards this end, this technical writer/editor was part of a team tasked with the responsibility to create a corporate capabilities presentation using the PAN, which would serve as a demo package for potential customers and investors. This paper describes technical aspects of building the PAN presentation, commercialization activities, and future plans
