Re: Setting up a cover page



Please don't include large binary attachments on the list.

Having looked at it, though, would it not have been better to create
the logo as encapsulated postscript and use the encapsulated postscript
inclusion sequence from Adobe's "Red Book" (PostScript Language Reference
Manual).  (Many single page Postscript documents are compatible with
encapsulated postscript, even if they don't have the right initial
comments.)  The Red Book is available, in PDF, on Adobe's site.

Also, the logo looks like it was drawn with a vector type drawing package.
Maintaining it in vector form until imaged by ghostscript would almost
certainly produce a better quality image.  It would certainly have
produced a much smaller file.  (The one complication is that most of the
text seems to be in slightly distorted versions of the Avante-Garde type
face.  Most of the distortions can reasonably be handled by Postscript,
with the exception that it seems to use a bold version when ghostscript
is only supplied with demi-bold (for a look alike - URW Gothic - not
the the actual copyrighted font).)
