This is the option I chose.  Although it's the ugliest, it's also the
easiest (I don't use ppr on the client side anyway, so doing a "-P
trustme" isn't an option).


As an addendum, I found the problem of designating "atend" for a
singular resource again on some different files.  This time it was from
Adobe Distiller 4.0.  Recall that before my bogus files were generated
by Adobe Acrobat 4.0.  I assume they share some of the same codebase.
