Thanks for sending the changes for the PostScript files.  I've
incorporated them into the guides in our FTP directory, but I'll be
remaking the files soon, because we have a more recent version of
FrameMaker that we will use to save the files as PostScript.

I'd like to make the guides available in PDF form as well from the
new FrameMaker.
