    I have SuSE 9.1 (only a few months old) and it came with Acrobat 5.0
    It cannot read this document.

    Yet another upgrade!
    I know that it is 'free', but
    a lot of upgrades upset other things (I see the trouble and problems
    encountered by reading these mailing lists) and it is so much a
    reminder of that M$ system which I am trying to get away from.

    Sorry to 'divert' a little here, but I really don't think users should have to
    monitor software development just to be able to use their systems.
    I have forty (yes, 40) years of technical software development, but that
    experience just makes me more aware of the whole attitude that software
    development is for the developers and not for the users.
    Acrobat, like M$, only develop their software so that they can sell more
    (i.e. force more upgrades).
    Acrobat 5.0 displays crazy hieroglyphics : why can't the code just skip
    those control sequences it cannot understand? Sure, the format might be
    weird but the text would be readable?
    I guess that 'planning for the future' is a bit much to ask of most software
    developers!

    Anyway, thanks for the feed-back.
    I'll set off on the upgrade path and hope that this new Acrobat doesn't
    cause me too much trouble.

    Regards,
    Colin
