That's WONDERFUL.  Can I get a copy for my Sun?  How about for LINUX.  I
have about 30 VaxStations running VMS?  How about my 10 HPs?  What about
UNIWARE, SCO, SOLARIS, OS/2, and my HP firewall that only lets me run
Mosaic as an X-Client?

Are you promising to support all platforms, past and present, that might
be on the internet?

By the way, how much for the software to create a posting?

Can I get a detailed specification without signing a nondisclosure?
Can I get reference source code (a brain-dead, doggy slow version is fine)
for a portable implementation of reader and writer?

That's my definition of an open standard (suitable for use on internet).
What's yours?

Are you trying to tell me that Acrobat is an Open Standard?

(One of the down sides of posting an ad on the internet is that people can
RESPOND to them :-).
