There were some problems with the postscript versions of the Amoeba
papers on midgard.ucsc.edu (in ftp/pub/amoeba).  New compressed
postscript files have been installed.  If you got a version and it
acted strange, you can FTP the new versions.  That should work better.
The problem is thought to relate to paper size (8.5" x 11" in the U.S.,
210 mm x 297 mm in Europe).  This difference affects page layout, and
when tables and figures are split across page boundaries, funny things happen.
