Actually, that's exactly what I'd recommend too. Most of the musicians on my morris dance teams aren't technically oriented, and wouldn't go out of their way to install a PostScript reader, but they already have the acrobat reader plugged into their web browsers. Giving them a link to a PDF file serves their needs sufficiently. > I originally took up Linux because it seemed simpler than getting TeX > running on DOS. :-) When I worked in a for a company that made Windows software and I had to use Windows, I installed the MiKTeX TeX/LaTeX package, which was actually pretty easy to set up, and worked well for me. (Those plus CygWin plus emacs made the whole thing bearable.)
