Sorry, Jim, I may have misjudged your diagnoses. Perhaps you are
right? Acrobat does not handle this anti-aliasing (if it is that)
and Preview does.

I know a few things about Cairo. My dad used to work there and a
fellow with a barrow and an organ used to come by every week with
a monkey turning the handle and we used to throw down piastas
from the balcony...

About monkeys and organs, this is exactly how I have been feeling
handling floats for a new site I am building this week, I am the
chimp and the tune is not what I want to hear yet... back to the
grind...
