Unlike wine " full path app-name " the quotes don't seem to be needed around the file name. It works with or without them. I now find that 2 instances of acroread will not function together where as kpdf, kgostview are ok. Kpdf is far to slow on some pdf's and neither of these render text as clearly as acroreader does. See attachment. I've lined up 6 lines of text. These take up the same amount of space and the page sizes are identical. > > Cheers, > Kevin -- Regards John Suse 10.0 KDE 3.4.2 B
