My question: do you have a program to do this from your dvi, or
must I do some fancy photocopy work? Personally, I do not object to your 
posting of the .dvi, just to your choice of a paper format not easily found in
a common laser printer.

Well, forms is intended for maths, and math people use TeX anyways. :-)

PS: and, not all people have troff too now. Try to find a site with
"pic" or -me macros... I am sure they are less numerous than TeX sites...

PPS: I distribute GWM with a LaTeX documentation, TeX seems to be really
present everywhere...
