Well, from a quick look at the adobe page, Acrobat reader works on quite a
few systems (Win95,NT,3.1,Mac,Linux,AIX,SunOS,Solaris,IRIX,Hp-UX,Digital
Unix, OS/2). That's a pretty good list IMHO. The only two OS's they are
missing that I know of are DOS (no graphics anyway) and AmigaOS. Besides
you need Acrobat to view almost all datasheets (unless you are getting
them in printed form).

Postscript ends up being a pain in the ass if you don't have a postscript
printer (i.e. having to get Ghostscript et al.) GIF's are good too. It
should be upto whoever is supplying the schematic to decide what format to
use.
