Jack, Don't know if you've received an answer yet, but I didn't see any replies on PACS-L. Sorry for the delay, but I've been a little lax in reading my e-mail lately. I don't know if this solution will work for you, but have you considered Adobe Acrobat. When you buy the full Acrobat application software (I think it's about $200 US), for creating Acrobat .pdf files, it comes with a module (Acrobat Distiller) which converts postscript files to pdf. Postscript files have always been a bit of a nuisance for me, so I love this feature of acrobat, and it *does* work. I have no affiliation with the company, other than being a very satisfied customer. I've been using Acrobat for putting all sorts of company documentation up on our Intranet. It's great because it doesn't matter what format I've got a document in. If it's electronic, you can just "print" to a pdf file, or if it's only in hard copy, you can scan it into pdf format. And, of course, you can convert PostScript documents too. It may not be as convenient as .gif or .jpg, especially if you want the charts and figures to display as inline images. But if your users have the Acrobat Reader and it's plug-in, you should be able to use the <EMBED> tag to display the pdf files in-line.
