Thanks for the feedback, Edward.

I've modified the distiller in the last couple of months to trim out
some unnecessary function codes, which can result in a savings of 5-20
bytes per paragraph, uncompressed.  That may be part of it.

My guess would be that the image formats are slightly different -- the
image parser probably uses a different Palm image compression variant.
I believe I selected RLE compression in the Java image parser.

Now you're going to tell me there are no images in the file :-).

A log file of what kind?  The distiller never creates a log file, does
it?

Wasn't aware that I was.  I certainly don't set it, and it seems to
work OK for me.
