Ah.  8 MB is difficult.  Even if you can use X I doubt you can run
Sketch.  I've used X on linux on a 486 with 8 MB, perhaps 3 years
ago, I don't think it crashed for the sort of things I was doing but
it was *slow*.

Let me know what you think.  It's 45 K in size, which I think is
reasonable for this kind of stuff, but maybe hand-written postscript
could be much reduced.

Do you know anything about svg (scalable vector graphics)?  I tried
exporting it in that format too, but when I load it again all the
areas with colour gradients come out black.  I don't know whether
this is a bug in sketch, or svg only supports flat colours.
