3D FAQ woes

Some of you may have access to a postscript capable printer, such as an HP
Laserjet 4.  Just copy the file to the printer and it prints!

Otherwise, if you have a PC with windows 95, download "ROps32.zip" (373K)
from <http://www.shareware.com>

It is a nice postscript viewer/printer.  It also can extract the ASCII text
but has some typos, omissions, and run together words when doing this.  You
have to rotate the tables so the text runs left to right before extracting.
I can E-Mail the ASCII text from these FAQ's to anyone interested.  Bear in
mind that the graphics will be missing.  There are many nice drawings of
film formats, and film chip mounting that you should see.

I could also copy both documents and mail them for a fee to cover my time
and the paper, for those not wanting to any of the above.

printing a 700 page document just so I could see 20-30 pages of the 
file.
Needless to say, I've never seen the 3d FAQ, though I'd love to. Just
refuse to chop down the last remaining old-growth forests just so I can
print a few pounds of 3d stuff.
