It's not that I consider it difficult, it just isn't very easy to exchange
these types of files. Most of the authors I would give these figures to may
not appreciate the fact that though the screen image looks _bad_, the printed
output will look better. A lot of conference proceedings now use a web-sub-
mission process that converts the file to pdf, since I'm not the one who
will submit the document, I'm concerned that a .ps figure would not fare well
through this process.
