I've also updated the scalable thing and I think it's much improved
now.  It's necessarily different from the "original" jpg I used, since
it's not a computer-generated copy, so I felt it necessary to email
Kirk McKusick to ask whether it's ok to distribute it.  Anyway, you
can pick it up at the same place as earlier
  http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.png  
          (2528x1701 resolution, 129k) 
  http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemonsmall.png  
          (474x319 resolution, 17K)
  http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.eps 
          (vector postscript, 45K)
  http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.sk  
          (original Sketch file, 22K)
  http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.eps.gz (12K)
  http://theory1.physics.iisc.ernet.in/rsidd/daemon.sk.gz (7K)

This is in more or less final form, so if the powers-that-be in the
advocacy team like it, feel free to pick it up and use it/distribute
it (and take care of the legal issues of including Kirk's copyright
notice and so on, which I haven't done since you'd know what to do
better than me.)

You can easily produce a bitmap with different resolution by importing
the eps file into Gimp and specifying a resolution at import time.
The PNG format seems best to save it in: JPG becomes either too lossy
(colours run over the boundaries and so on) or too bloated.  And of
course you can do other things once it's in Gimp, like adjust the
colour/brightness/etc, add some noise (it looks a bit too smooth and
shiny right now, which is hard to avoid in vector graphics) and so
on...

Note that default settings of ghostscript/ghostview don't show the eps
file very well.  I haven't tried printing the postscript directly, the
quality may depend on your printer / your setup's ghostscript settings.
Even if it doesn't work, the gimp->bitmap route above should be safe.

Rahul.
