Then a bug must have been introduced before. The rules.doc, as pulled from 
cvs, expand the MAIN_SGML into the whole list of sgmls used to build the 
ecos.html, which caused an error only while building PDF target and not HTML.

But right now, I'm experimenting with picture resolution and type and the 
results are:

We can get high resolution pictures included in both HTML and PDF, if we 
convert the original gifs to jpgs with resolution of 300dpi and at the same 
time adding the Scalefit+Width attributes to source sgml.
In the case that the pictures are not converted to a higher resolution than 
the original (a 72 dpi screen resolution) the resulting import to pdf is also 
poor (72dpi).

I hope You'll be able to see the results for the tutorial tommorrow.
