I would also like to thank Javier.  That is quite a document!  
I look forward to reading it as well.

The problem with the PDF version is easy to fix.  The PDF version 
was created with Ghostscript with a target of Letter size paper 
(8.5 x 11 inches), which was probably different than the paper 
size used to create the original document.  If you download the 
Postscript version and then translate it to PDF using a target 
paper size of A4 (21 x 29.7 centimeters), then the result is a 
very nice looking document with no page headers cut off.

Thanks again Javier!
