Correct. sometmes I forget what I did :-(

I ran tests with Context pdftex and plain TeX using a 6 inch horizontal 
rule and no other typography. They all came up about 3/64 inch short. 
In the plain TeX sample I used dvips and printed from the PS file.
So it appears my printer shrinks a file by about 1% or thereabouts.  My 
customer's printer must do the same. It is not a Context problem nor an 
Acrobat Reader problem.
