(hoping that Acrobat for BSDI or something might be on the porting list at Adobe, I sent them comments, hoping other FreeBSD people might be doing the same). I would very much like to get a hold of your PDF viewer. Anything you could do (source patches, binaries, whatever) would be greatly appreciated! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Howlett Atlantic Systems Group E-Mail: Peter.Howlett@ASG.unb.ca Fredericton, N.B.
