I believe -grayscale is what you want (unless you really want b&w
in which case -bpp 1 might work).

There are some lists on some web sites that people try maintaining,
but I don't remember them offhand, and last I looked people didn't
seem to contribute much.

Excel 4 works very well as far as I can tell. Haven't used it
extensively, just tested it out. But Powerpoint 4 brings up the
banner and then you get sent back to the browser with the message
launch.c:448; fatal error in `launchchain': failed assertion `code0 && (*code0).p'
This was on 1.99q12, registered, with the system set to 7.0 and all
the pretend stuff checked.
On a bit of the downside also, the printing works, but is not that
great. I currently have executor print to a file and then I print out
these postscript files to an HP 4Si/MX and some things come out
nicely, others not that great, like Excel spreadsheets. But since I
don't require nice printing that often, it's not that big of a deal
for me.
Jesse.
