I wanted to take this time to make mention of the solution I have come up with. 
 There are a couple of minor problems with the difax via IDD.  The only one we 
have real control over is that the size is smaller  (if you use a typical laser 
printer).  Some of us don't have a special printer and no longer want to use 
the Okidata 293.  I have come up with a script that uses the PBMPLUS utilities 
that takes the 4panel difax images such as the NGM stuff and crops them into 
two images.  They are then printed seperately and the resulting two images are 
nearly the size of the original DIFAX via satellite.  There are several images 
that I crop, flip and do many other things to.  I wanted to let everyone know 
that if they would like to have a copy of my script to please let me know.  I 
had hoped to get a chance to clean it up but you know how that goes:).

I run Solaris 2.5 and compiled the PBMPLUS without a hitch so I'm afraid I'm 
not too much help there.
