Hi Danny & Bastian,
Danny you're right but you failed to mention
that the Adobe Acrobat Reader for DOS is essentially useless
for reading any technical file I've ever tried it on. I've
wasted a lot of time trying to get info this way. There was
considerable discussion on this topic a while back. I have never
tried sending the file to the addresses you have suggested however.
Others on this list have more experience with this than I.
