Heh.  Too bad GhostScript for Windows hasn't caught on..  Anyway, kind
of on that subject, I just found out about the 'dvipdfm' utility the
other day.  You may know that running 'ps2pdf' produces what is best
described as 'blobby' output when read with Acrobat Reader.  dvipdfm
fixes a lot of that..

Anyway, yeah, if you want to make a PDF document, try to make a PS one
too.. or anything else, really...

Also, Carl, you may want to try reading PDF files with xpdf rather than
acroread.  It seemed a bit slower to me, but it might be better in the
memory usage area..
