Re: The HTML Experiment



If anyone has been considering using or experimenting with Adobe Acrobat,
this is an excellent time to do something about it.

UNTIL JUNE 30TH, Adobe is offering Acrobat Reader AND WRITER for $30 at
<www.adobe.com/purchase/main.html>. Both Mac and Win packages are
available at this price.

The Reader, which lets you view .pdf docs that have been composed by
others, has always been free. The Writer, which lets you compose your own
..pdf docs, usually sells for hectobucks. As Leigh has suggested, Acrobat
is as close to a "universal message propagator" as currently exists.

Caveat: This offer is available only by online download with e-mailed
activation keys, a process not recommended for cybersissies (or slow ISP
connections [5.5Mb download]).

Best wishes.

Larry

Adobe Acrobat Exchange (.pdf = portable document format) is widely
used, cheaper than Eudora Pro, and, like html (which has Netscape)
has a free reader (Adobe Acrobat). Using Exchange one can produce
documents with any application and include, in addition to
mathematical formulae with arcane orthograpies, graphical material
- even color photographs - more easily than it can be done in html.
I have promoted .pdf in this group before; I still urge you all to
give it a try.
