[TriLUG] Re: CD479.pdf

[Michael Mueller]

I tried Mozilla 0.9.4 and I *was* able to get to the next link.  I tried 
Konqueror ind KDE 2.2.1 and I still go the "incorrect parameter message".

It was a browser difficulty and not a .pdf problem at first.  Now, however, I 
do have an Acrobat problem.  The website won't let me download the .pdf file. 
 It is forcing me to use Acrobat.  I do not have Acrobat loaded.

Thanks.
