• a subprocess for extracting identifying information from said source file;
• a subprocess for creating a map file in said third data format containing said extracted identifying information;
• a subprocess for configuring said subsystem to access and display said presentation files in said second data format based on said map file;
• and
• a subprocess for creating a first Table Of Contents (TOC) file in said second data format;
• and
• a subprocess for generating a second TOC file in said third format based on said first TOC file and said map file.
