  12. Does anyone know a way to reduce the size of huge postscript image
  13. files?  Our application produces only bitmaps for shaded output which
  14. can be several megabytes in size.  Print time can be hours, with the
  15. biggest delay being time to send through the parallel port.
  16.  
  17. I'd like to optimize the file, perhaps by finding areas of nearly the
  18. same color or intensity and polygonalizing them.
  19.  
  20. Thanks for any help.
