Ok, it does work :) (but it took quite some time for my Free Pascal Users
manual to be transformed - and it's "only" 297K I would probably not like
to run this program on a 386).

That was NOT a good idea. I didn't know how big the program was and 964K is
a little much to add.
An APM download on the other hand seems to be a good idea, I'll get around
to it right away and upload it later today (I wonder when the alarm goes
off at university <g>).
BTW: Should it work on on-line files as well? I guess one can change this
line him/herself then.
application/pdf PDF
into
application/pdf TXT|@c:\\xpdfdos\\pdftotex.exe $1 $2
Only problem with that is that the files will be in the cache directory
under "weird" names. I'll need to figure out how to make acopy and this
work together.
