- There is a datatype for PDF. Maybe that's what it's called, I'm not sure of
- the name. Install that and if necessary, configure your mime.types and
- mailcaps file if your using either Amosaic or Ibrowse. I know I found some in
- my Cache or T directory. I didn't realize when I was viewing them online that
- they were PDF but they can be read on your Amiga, I think.
