although DWF is an option, a rastor or pdf is easier for the end user. i'm not sure if there are any opensource/crossplatform dwf viewers. if you wish to view a dwf you would be forced to do so from a x86 platform. even if you used a dwf viewer with wine or the Xrossover plugin it would be limited to x86 hardware. as a Catia driver i would hate to have to hunt down a PC so that i can use IE, when netscape runs just fine on RS hardware. my current employer, and some of my prior ones, make extensive use of Tiffs and PDFs for this purpose. -- Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of DOS, and danced the skies on Linux silvered wings. http://pfrostie.freeservers.com/cad-tastrafy/ //www.freelists.org/list/cad-linux
