However I found this link to Acrobat Reader 1.0 for DOS! This is the same one that came with my Syndicate installation, and at least it works with the pdf file I got with that game. Not sure about newer files, though...
:whistle:

Omuletzu That would require MANY CD's
And yes please email me the program.I'll send you my email adress through a PM

Rogue Sorry Omuletzu,
I was unable to answer your question while I was sick.

I used Adobe Acrobate Reader that came with couple of old games (Syndicate Plus is one of them). If you don't have it, I can email it to you (if you have Yahoo or some other email with enough space).

The other part of my question was: why don't you unzip games in windows, after you download them, and then burn unziped files to CD that you will use to copy games to your DOS computer?

Loial I fiddled around with Dosbox last night anyway, so I decided to try it out... I couldn't get the psview to work, and it didn't give any usable feedback either... It is a wrapper for several other progs (som found in the xpdf package too) so I looked at the source for psview (included) and tried to run the progs manually, but it stopped up with gs (ghostscript)... Could be DosBox, though... Maybe gonna try on my real dos machine myself, but it won't be before new years...

However, I tried pdftext in the xpdf package, and it seemed to work, that is, outputting the text to a textfile... Use "-eol dos" to get the linebreaks correct...

'till next time... :bye:

Omuletzu: On Dave's page, which you linked to yourself, there are links to psview and xpdf, which both claims to be able to read pdf files, although I havent tried them myself.
I suspect those are not for DOS[/b][/quote]
Well, still not tried the progz, and won't either as I'm away from my comp for the holidays, but:

1. I espected you knew this already, since you provided a link to Dave's page yourself, but it IS a DOS only site...

2. The first 7 words on the PSVIEW site is "PSVIEW: PostScript and PDF viewer for DOS"

3. Xpdf's download page has precompiled binaries for DOS6, here is a quicklink to that file.

So I suspsect those really are for DOS...

Have a Merry Christmas! :bye:

Omuletzu Well... yes i have it already installed... for about three months now...
And it's working great minus the fact that i can't read pdf files :crazy:

Danny252 If you can get DOS to work on your system, use it because if you have an old enough OS then your system probably isn't fast enough for dosbox.
