One thing to note, however. UNIX users are used to fiddling
for(seemingly)ever to make something work, whereas Windows users want a
simple point and click.  That would suggest PDF over Postscript. I'm
generalizing here, of course.

I am going to try to figure out how to make ghostscript/ghostview to work.
Putting large schematics on a web page as gifs does not work well for me.

No simple solutions, eh?
