Yes, and thats why picking on Annelise for choosing one tool and not another
does not have much sense, as you noted Greg.  I mean, OK, my preference of TeX
and/or troff, or even better SGML over some proprietary format that I cannot
read in my Unix boxen... but hey, that was PDF; and I can actually *read* pdf
files in X11 with gv (thank you port masters) :-)

Come on guys (and girls).
PDF was fine for reading a `draft'.
At least for me.
