.pdf it is, then.  If my associate does not already have Adobe Reader, I
presume that he can download a free copy which runs under any version of
Windows, including XP and Vista.

On Debian, I have been using evince, but that is to view documents which I
obtain from other sources.

Documents which I generate almost always are destined for ink-on-paper.  I
compile with latex, and always have xdvi running in the background; thus I
always can inspect the latest typeset version.  To print, I use dvips and
then use lpr to send the Postscript file to the printer.

This is the first time I recall needing to transmit a document other than
by the postal service or by facsimile.
