Haters of Adobe Reader should be sure they're looking at the latest one --
4.05b. I just downloaded it and find it much quicker and easier to use
than the old one.
So much of the value of the manual is in the screenshots and tables, I
think it would be a shame to give those up. I know HTML can handle all
that fine, but the HTML editors I have used all seem to give platform-and
browser-dependent variations in the finished product.
