Do the following to save and groom an Illustrator file on the Mac:

1. Not sure if the level (1, 2, or 3) makes a difference, but Level 1 seems to be the best bet.
2. Set Preview to None.
3. After FTPing, the ctrl-Ms must be converted to ctrl-Js; perhaps we can figure out a way to do this via FTP or Illustrator on the Mac, but if not it's done in Emacs.
4. So far, even with thumbnail and preview turned off in the Illustrator save dialog, there's a chunk of binary data between %%BeginData ... %%EndData; if not removed, it causes the error "groff: grops: Signal 11". If we can't get this to go away by some save option on the Illustrator side, we can:
   1. write an emacs batch script to remove it
   2. try groff version 1.15 (we're currently (as of 9dec01) using groff version 1.11).
