OK.  In that case there are at least ten formats we want to compare:
encapsulated postscript, cgm (binary and text), and 3DMF (binary and text).
The gziped and straight versions of all of the above formats.
Note also that encapsulated postscript files often include a preview;
essentially they store the postscript code needed to generate a
high-quality image as well as a bitmap.  Try two versions of the
postscript, one with a preview and one without.  So that brings
the total to twelve formats.
