How about 15? I checked Adobe's web site when this thread got started,
and Adobe has readers out for most mainstream OSs, and many obsoleted
ones. All flavours of Windows from 3.1 onward, PPC and 68k Macs, Linux,
AIX, SunOS, Sparc Solaris, x86 Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX, Digital Unix, and
OS/2 Warp. The only two missing are FreeBSD (which could run under the
Linux emulation module) and the Amiga. I'd say Adobe has done a fairly
good job of covering their bases.
So my A2000 doesn't get called in to read PDFs. It does a lot of other
stuff very well, but I am lucky to also have a Linux box that I can
switch to for reading PDFs.
Bring on the PDF docs! ;-)
Cheers,
Kev
