Ok, you're right. I'm not sure what point you want to make though : even
on a Linux you can have neither a PS viewer nor a PDF one.  I was just
saying that PS /can be/ directly viewed and that PS is the default
format for a lot of printer, so there's no real point abandoning it.

An out-of-the-box Windows can't read PDF, AFAIK. And BTW, when you do a
« Print into a file » on Windows, you get PS files.

But we're arguing considerably about nothing and making noise. I think
the only thing we have to wait for is a decision, for example by RMS.
