Mmm. Postscript documents. Real useful. NOT...

Sounds like an interesting variation on the project, but without
documentation in a standard, open format, his audience is going to be
limited.

Postscript is about as open and standard a format as you will find.
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ has free ghostscript viewers for most popular
platforms (windows, Linux, Mac, OS/2, VMS, etc).

It was never intended for online document distribution, though.
Postscript is for (obsolete) printers, and .PS files are an (obsolete)
hack.

..PDF is designed from the ground up for online viewing, and it's less
likely to require users to compile their own viewer application.

Actually, neither .PS or .PDF is as nice as DjVu for onscreen viewing,
but of the three, .PDF has by far the best shot at long-term archive
survival.

are Windows users.
