Yes, I'll create PS files on www.engelschall.com, too. And when Ghostscript
can handle the generated PS files I'll create PDF with it as well.

Yeah, it uses a width of 600 pixel. That's not to bother you. There are two
reasons for it: First this way I'm able to layout the various nested tables
more easily (where I sometimes had to specify fixed widths to avoid nasty
next wrappings) and second this way the text lines are shorter. The reason for this
are the same typographical reasons you find in books and newspapers: To make
it easier to read. I know that the usage of HTML for doing fixed layouting is
against the intent of HTML but I break those rules intentionally as a
webdesigner (and not as a HTML purist) here ;-)
