Radio Yerevan: In theory yes, in practice no. The intermediate PS file
was several hundred MB in size. Converting it to PDF reduced it to
20 MB. It doesn't make sense to distribute a file that is larger as the
average hard disk connected to a VAX. I could have gzip (or even bzip2)
it, but as you refuse to use gzip...
Maybe this was not clear to you: We are talking about PS / PDF conaining
only lots of high res monochrome bitmaps. No OCRed text.
