	We have successfully compiled xpdf for FreeBSD 2.1.0.  It's a 
pretty good pdf viewer, and the port was nearly brainless to do.  We had 
to add two pounds to the Makefile.config and delete two other!  Does 
anybody know if there is a better pdf viewer available for FreeBSD?  

	If I get time I will try to do the procedure for making xpdf into 
a port for FreeBSD.  If someone else has already done this or can give me 
a reason why I shouldn't bother just email me.  Thanks

Scott
