I (incorrectly) assumed that the pages were simply image scans of pages, which are really "pictures" and not editable. That is sometimes the case. I was using version 5 of Acrobat Reader. I upgraded to version 8 and those pages are now editable. You can't "edit" the pdf files with Acrobat Reader, but you can copy/paste. |

I got a free upgrade when yenc files showed up. I have a licensed copy of Agent, albeit a version a few years old. I don't like it now, and I didn't like it then. I am more than happy with Thunderbird for email and newsgroups. The thing I like about Agent is it is not "installed". You just run it from the EXE and it would probably run from a CD if you assigned working areas on oxide. I can load my agent directory on another machine, run it and then just delete the directory and it is gone. I keep two iinstances on this machine, one for binaries and one for text. I don't download or upload binaries. I use portable Firefox and portable Thunderbird from a USB key. My aren't you the technologist. Why is a news group's contents so important to you? Forget to take your smart pill again, d.f.? That's Mr. Dumfoch Dropout to you! I'll ask the question again. Why is a newsgroup's content so important to you that you carry around a thumb drive with a newsreader and its configuration files? And here's Hairball's answer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEK22iup4Zg That was funny. |

Yeah...I just noticed that and fixed it. Thanks. |

Why don't you explain to us how you *edit* .PDF files with "Reader." |

Being able to highlight and copy text to be pasted into another document IS editing, Hairless. That's *not* editing a *.PDF document with Reader, and that's what was implicit in your statement. |

No, that's what you read into it, grasshopper. Harry, Go back and read his response, he said you can edit the pages, and told how to do it. He did not say anything about editing a pdf document. You really do need to improve your reading comprehension. |

I know this will come as a shock, Harry, but everything you have on your computer, and every post or webpage you see or create on the internet... ALL binaries. D'oh. You must know we're referring to photo, music, and movie multi-part binaries, right? |
