[OS X TeX] two column slides with prosper

[Kannan Moudgalya]

John, I don't know what pdf graphics does.  Nor do I know about colortbl
and xspace.  I have always used graphicx to include figures that are in
the form of either pdf files or png files.  One of my talks is in
www.che.iitb.ac.in/faculty/km/cl353/iitb.pdf - in case you want to produce
anything like that, I can possibly help you.  Having said that, I am also
curious about prosper vs. pdfscreen comparison.
