and

What's
| wrong with JPG? or AVI? or MOV? Nope. That's not good
enough.
| It's got to be converted to PDF, or PPS, or flash, or
shockwave,
| or one of the dozens of other formats that are the fad of
the
| week that by the time people manage to find a player to
view
| them, is no longer in vogue. If file size is an issue,
these
| formats are already compressible - just re-encode them
with
| increased compression for web use.

Stubby.
