Sorry, I should be shot for not including that info, I know better. Adobe
Acrobat 5.0 on Win98
I guess it might be worth trying to do it with an up to date reader. When I
load the doc I get the bad char boxes in front of the table of content list
items. I tried printing with Netscape 6.2-- latest, and just got the first
page out. I am sure it is something in the style sheet, but what? :)

He loves pretty picutures so I am trying to get those as well. Something
must be going on with perl.com at the moment, the site seems really slow,

Anyway, I guess I will take a break and come back later.
