Rather, you proceed to http://www.ibm.com/software/applications/office/bkmgr/softcopyread.html and (on the right hand side of the page) click on the download link for either "Softcopy Reader for Windows" or "Softcopy Reader for Linux". I just checked and the current version for Windows is 3.5 ... much better than 3.3, but still er... mm.... uh... shall we say "less than perfect"... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
