Has anybody managed to get new paper sizes into the Page Setup dialogue (I
believe this is part of the LaserWriter file)?  About the only thing that
would tempt me to get a personal organizer would be if I could print my own
stuff to fit it; has anybody managed to do this in a clean way so that (a) any
application could use the size and (b) it would still work on upgrades to
system software?  If so, how available is the result?

Is Apple likely to support this size in the near future?  I'd expect it to
enable a new cottage industry in MacDraw street maps, software for making
custom time planning forms and the like.
