Starting late tonight, netscape from the infoagents locker will use a
plugin to show files in Acrobat format.  This means the document will
show up in the netscape window rather than in a separate acroread
window.  Users who don't like this behavior can adjust it via Netscape's
Options | General Preferences | Helpers | application/pdf

From now on netscape will use the acro locker rather than keeping
acroread in the infoagents locker.  The infoagents dependencies on the
acro locker are described at
