   Yes... the EPS is 17.5 MB.  And that's the format that DVI uses to 
embed images, so.... I'm stuck with it.  Although, I CAN package it as a 
bzip2 file, which reduces it to 700K, and but an instruction in the 
document to automatically unpack.  Maybe that's the way to go.  PDF is 
fine, as it can use PNG, TIFF, or JPEG(though not all JPEG compression 
options are supported, so I converted it to PNG)
