Karl,

The PostScript question is well taken. We seriously need some
way to capitalize on "desktop publishing" (compound documents)
without being forced back to paper only. At the same time, all
of us recognize and have experienced the problem you describe.
The one thing which is still a major conundrum for me is the
problem of illustrations. ASCII only illustrations are painful
to produce and most tools produce other than ASCII (bitmap or
PostScript is more typical graphic tool output).

What's your general thought about finding a path towards
benefitting from the tools now emerging while at the same
time not losing the obvious benefits of the ASCII output form?
