C.L.--

Someone mentioned using the Adobe Reader.

Unfortunately for me, however, the Synaptic Package Manager doesn't have it.
 So I (after expending much in the way of blood, sweat and tears) eventually
learned how to use the CLI to run the bin file -- and in the process
discovered just why Linux seems condemned to occupy only 1% of the OS
market; namely, that the CLI is an EXTREMELY unforgiving tool that also
forces the user to brush up on his/her typing skills BIG TIME.  I
practically developed a case of carpal tunnel syndrome just from all of the
typing that I did!

So -- after enduring all of the agonies that are unique to the CLI -- I was
able to determine that the Adobe Reader does, in fact, print the graphics of
a ".do" extension file adequately.  AND I DON'T *EVER WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THE CLI EVER AGAIN! (I'd pontificate more on the evils of the
CLI, but my wrists are too sore.)*
