We installed the package (no dependencies) and it works beautifully and 
quickly and also provides a way to attach text commentary to files.  The 
jpegs it produces also look better than those from xpaint.  Thanks.
I might also try using XV to view pdf files if I can find some way to 
convert them to ps first, such as the pdftops that I have for DOS.  That 
would obviate the need to learn to print pdf files.  Where do I look for a 
pdftops convertor in SW71?
