Post #142,556 by inthane-chan 2/20/04 3:37:51 PM Reply	On Adobe support. I discovered a fairly major flaw in Acrobat Reader 5+6 late last year. Called Adobe, told them I was calling in a bug report, they wanted to charge me to report a bug. Imagine that. Now we're using GhostScript and GSView, and my, do they work fine at the exact same thing. "I'll stop calling this crew 'Orwellian' when they stop using 1984 as an operations manual." - J.

Post #142,927 by rickw 2/23/04 7:46:07 PM Reply	What a coinkydink I just installed gsview about a half hour ago. I was prompted by acroread suddenly ceasing to function, and a combination of the skylarov case and that amazingly intrusive splash screen made me look for something else. Never going back. WWJD?
