Thanks for your comments, which have all been on the relative
merits of PS and PDF. Enough to convince me that I need to 
continue mounting both. 

Another point is that I propose to make more use of text files. If I
receive a file as text, I propose to mount only that. And I will myself
use only text files for the indices of documents and for the address
list. Here is a new summary:

.....................

For SD1, the Complete Document Register, I have mounted a text version
and I propose to discard the PostScript and PDF versions.

I will continue to mount PostScript file as PDF too, but any text
files that I receive or generate myself will be mounted only as
text. 

I am considering moving the contents of each Acrobat, PostScript, or
Text directory into its host. This will make it easier to see which
versions of any particular document are available.

Best wishes,

John.
