Actually, I think it's time to ditch the PDF and PS versions. Why? We'll
they're certainly big. The PDF and PS files have also gone missing from
the MASTER_SITE. I haven't had time (defending my thesis in 1 week) to
fix the ports, but I think we can safely drop the PS and PDF versions -
I've played w/ them all and the HTML version is by far the most useful.
Give me a week or so and I'll fix them and can the PDF and PS versions
unless there's a big demand not to.
Brett
