Jeffrey, Are you the person who uses OS/2 as an OS? Using this OS in 2003 is asking for frustration, it seems to me. There are not going to be major software builds that account for OS/2 compatibility. The OS/2 user base is not going to grow, despite the "solid support" that IBM alleges for OS/2 in Enterprise work on the web page I just read at: http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/warp/strategy/#Header_6 And you are also the person who has railed against people using HTML in their email, if I recall, because you get the digest, and HTML shows up as garbage. So you are limited to Distiller 3.0, to text in email messages, and to an OS that is not getting software tailored for it. Two reasons why IE (or any browser) might be required is that Acrobat plugs into the browser to read PDFs and also that the browser acts as the update method for software updates. The key might be getting a well-supported and stable OS. - Bob Lema -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dr. Jeffrey Race Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 9:20 AM To: PDF list Cc: Jeffrey Race Subject: [PDF] Duh, thanks Adobe, for requiring MSIE to install Reader 6 The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________ After 20 minutes downloading a test install of the latest and greatest Reader 6, the installer aborted saying "you have to upgrade your browser to a later version of MSIE". What nonsense is this, please? For security reasons we don't use that browser and never will. Lots of other people don't either. There is no legitimate reason to require ANY browser to install code. Great Gods at Adobe, kindly rectify this bad engineering decision. Tell us when you do, so we can do the trial install.
