Yes, the file size information might be helpful.

As you might expect, the IDL preview method doesn't
create a very big file, since it apparently throws
away most of the information you care about. :-(
The resulting EPS file is 53 KB in size.

Interestingly, the GSView method, when you create
a Windows metafile preview, is even smaller, although
the preview image looks reasonably good in Microsoft
Word. That file is only 41 KB. But, remember, this
is a file that Framemaker couldn't load. The EPS
file with the TIFF preview image is bigger, of
course, but not terribly so. It is 254 KB in size.

The Acrobat method was somewhere in the middle.
It created an EPS preview file of 157 KB. Since
this was a Level 1 PostScript ASCII file, I also
tried a Level 2 PostScript binary file. That file
is 141 KB and the preview quality is the same.

If I get a minute I'll add the numbers to the
article.

Cheers,

David
