I was using the /usr/local/Acrobat3/bin/acroread and /usr/local/Acrobat/Browsers/netscape scripts which are not patched. The netscape plugin uses the /usr/local/Acrobat3 version. IMHO, it would be better to patch the scripts and link them into /usr/local/bin as appropriate so this sort of thing can't happen. :-) I'm not sure how to go about doing the plugin support. I think when the Linux version of netscape is used, the directory /usr/local/lib/netscape/pl ugins needs to be created and the acrobat nppdf.so file linked into there as well. > tg Cheers, -Peter
