Thats great Theodore.  I'm glad someone managed to bring that up into 
the 21st century.  It's a cast iron bear to get it to compile useing 
SAS/C, I finally gave up on it although I used it for a lot of other 
stuff, and it wasn't exectly fun when the GeekGadgets gcc was still 
stuck at 2.7.1 or something.  Lots of sneaky little workarounds were 
required.  Humm, later ones have taken the pdf support out and tossed 
that into xpdf's lap, where a pdf is first converted to a .ps and 
then shuffled off to ghostscript.  It only makes the file 10x bigger 
in some cases, so disk space to buffer the conversion can get tight.
