First, at least one of a plurality of stored sources of resource information is selected. Each of these sources is defined by and under the control of signals stored in a plurality of page definition files. These page definition files are stored separately from the input data set and the sources of resource information. Visual-presentation control signals are embedded into this input data set to generate an output data set. This selected resource information and the output data set are then stored in a local memory for enabling the desired visual displays. | |
