There are many old and valuable, but long out of print books that were scanned and encoded to djvu format a decade or more ago. Converting such books to pdf format using open source tools is usually difficult without drastically reducing the quality or increasing the file size two- or threefold. And when you do decide to convert, you need the ImageMagick or similar software. I am grateful to OpenBSD developers and porters for supporting various seemingly obscure dependencies and software packages, even though they may seem to be useless to the majority of the users. -- Andre
