Here's an idea. For on-line documentation, format the text with small
pages and display with texsun's zoom mode to get whole pages displayed
in big readable format. Or format with long pages and have the user
use he texsun scrollbar in zoom mode. My point is that the 8.5x11 page
is irrelevant to screen display.
