Acrobat 6, certainly initially, had, well, "issues". Something to do with compatibility, and not liking files created by earlier versions.

Yes, Panther's "Preview" app is a super-fast PDF viewer that's a lot snappier than Adobe "OMFG! A vector! How do I draw that??!!" Acrobat. Close the gap of shame (and stop yourself eating your own fist off waiting for Acrobat to start up) by running ADOBE READER SPEED-UP, a eensy-weensy Windows program that deletes a bunch of Adobe plugins that you don't care about.

I use a copy of the VMark UniVerse Quick Reference. It is a small (8" x 4.75") wire bound notebook. It is a little dated now. It was published as the 7th edition for release 9.4.1 and is dated July 1997. The VMark part number is 70-9009-941. Is this Quick Reference no longer available from IBM? Gordon J.

Re: PDF Manual [Data typing in MV Basic]
Which manual are you referring to (ignoring the heavy sarcasm implying I am a Luddite:-)? I would use an online version of a book with comparable (succinct) coverage! I don't want a shelf of dead trees but the quick reference has the following TOC: TCL Commands TCL Keywords Sentence Stack Commands RETRIEVE commands RETRIEVE keywords SQL Statements Responses to REVISE Prompts Editor Commands PROVERB Commands uniVerse Spooler Commands BASIC Statements, Functions and Operators RAID Commands Conversion Codes @ Variables BASIC Subroutines File Types User Exits ASCII Equivalents all in an easy to use, small (7"x5"x.75") form . It is much easier to use than the online set of manuals which have no easy (that I have found) unified search facility. The online manuals are great for those times you want an indepth discussion of a topic, or to first learn a subject, but are abysmal (IMNSHO) as a quick reference for a syntax question or a summary. While it has not been updated in a few versions, the data is sufficient in day to day programming. BTW the current PDF is set up for larger pages (8.5"x11" IIRC) so that ehe Kinko solution is not a particlaraly good one, especially since the PDF contains page images (not text) for some down level version (9.? I believe). That is not particularly conducive to reformatting. Stuart Boydell wrote: ...
