Web pages via Context.

Web pages via Context.

[John Culleton]

At the pragma-ade.nl site we are given a choice of browsing the site
via html or pdf. Unfortunately in my browsers the pdf interpeter is launched
separately and the anchors (references to other pages) don't work. 

I use Linux and either Mozilla or Konqueror. Both are set up to use Acrobat 
Reader plugin. What browser--plugin combination  allows this
site to be navigated using PDF? will Opera work?

In my galeon it doesn't work. perhaps because galeon doesn't support
full-screen page opening mode for the plugin. It does open in the
same tab/window, but the content of the pdf is shifted to the left
about half a page, and the links don't work.

I tested with both Netscape 6.2 and Mozilla 0.99. I used the pragma-ade.nl
site for the tests. I could drill down one layer, and sometimes two. But 
frequently I got error messages and finally with either browser I got into
a loop of flashing screens. Three possiblities:

1. There is a defect in my version of Acrobat Reader 4.0
2. There are problems at the Pragma site (not likely :)
3. The length of the connection (US to NL) causes erratic behaviour and
timeouts. 

I would like to hear other reports.
