You can read PDF with the ghostscript stuff or the free Adobe stuff. A man who cannot read .pdf or .ps in today's computer science world is a crippled man (IMO-YMMV). I couldn't live without citeseer, and almost all university computer science papers are in either pdf or ps. I can send you the documents via email if you are unable to collect them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
