[Premium-Rx] Comments on djvu compression format

[GandalfG8 at aol.com]

Hi Ted
I really didn't expect to find such strong opinions on this:-)
At the end of the day, I will continue to use both depending on what seems 
most appropriate at the time.
However, I don't really understand your comment...
"All of this wouldn't be half as legible with djvu as with pdf"
Surely the legibility just depends on the base material?
I've converted pdf files to djvu and, although I have to say Adobe software 
is much more polished, haven't really seen anything suffer in the process.
That includes complete manuals with diagrams and schermatics.
Djvu doesn't make any claims to be anything other than a compression tool.
That's all it does, it isn't a drawing package or whatever.
I didn't say it did anything "better" than Acrobat, nor that I would 
necessarily choose to use it myself with all things being equal, but it does produce 
smaller files from any given document set and with similar quality....
which is where we came in:-)
regards
Nigel
