The 4.0 Adobe Acrobat reader has been made the Athena default for all
platforms, and is now the Netscape helper application for the pdf mime
type. The search feature is not available in the Linux version. To run
it, type:

	add acro
	acroread &

You can still run the stand-alone 3.0 release by typing:

        add acro
        acroread -ver 3.0 &

As distill (Distiller) and acroexch (Exchange) 4.0 are not currently
available for UNIX, the default version for these will remain 3.0.
