Talking of Haiku rocking - the R5 BePDF works almost perfectly in Haiku in the
last build I tried. Opening the app stand-alone will crash it in the Open File
Dialog, but just double clicking a pdf correctly brought it up. I could view
the pdf, add annotations, show and hide the toolbars, it all seemed to work.
Some of the colors were wrong until I set the color depth of the offscreen
bitmap in preferences to match the screen color depth but that's fairly minor.
Awesome!
Mat, occasional boots I have the terminal not accepting keyboard input, never
had it crash there tho (unless the partition gets screwed up, which happens
fairly frequently after hard reboots).
