And "PEOPLE WANT" to send Word-Documents or HTML-Pages as E-Mail.
Do you like E-Mails with 1 MB size? That's what PEOPLE WANT.
People want to mouse click at a link to see the result. And there is
no difference if the result is displayed by Acrobat Reader, by
an Acrobat-plugin (which is available for only a few systems) or
by XView, GSView, GV or however the Postscript viewer is named.
I would prefer if people first had to click at a smaller amount
of data like I offer it with GIF-images of the scores. But maybe
that's out of discussion.
Sorry -- Werner
