[Coco] [Color Computer] .djvu vs .pdf: example files posted

[Robert Sherwood]

I honestly can't see any difference in the graphics between the three 
copies.  test1.djvu clearly has better quality text - but then that's what 
you'd expect after running it through OCR.  Without an OCR'd copy on PDF, 
we can't make a proper comparison for test1, but I suspect that the 
differences would likely be similarly negligible.

Since you say you're planning on using image files instead of OCR (unless I 
totally misread you), then it seems the PDF slightly edges out DJVU.  But 
then, I don't think if a filesize difference of only ~5% is really enough 
to force a decision.  Although, won't the images have to be much larger in 
order to do OCR later?  (Sorry if that's already been resolved, I haven't 
really been following these threads too closely.)

(On a point unrelated to quality...  The DJVU viewer for Windows comes in a 
single, self-contained executable weighing in at a mere 484 kB, which I 
find *VERY* appealing.  The only minor problem there was actually locating 
the downloadable, but I have it now, so I shouldn't have to mess around 
with that again.  :) )
