Hello

Is it possible to run Acrobat Reader 9.0 using ar5os2.exe ?
So far, ater adding MSVCR80.DLL UNICOWS.dll which were
missing, the massage says the CORE dll can'b be loaded.

Is there more recent ar5os2.exe version ?

Thanks for help

K.

Hi Kelbel
The last version of AR for OS/2 is AR5.1

I doubt if later versions will run using ar5os2.exe or odin - but if you
do work it out let us know :-)


Regards

Pete

Pete,
Thks for your answer. I may not be up to date re ar5os2.exe, the current
file I have says "2/03/04 10:32 33707 0 ar5os2.exe"
BTW the innotek website seems to be closed by now..
Should you have the latest version handy, can you upload it and tell
where I can get it ? (if no license rights breached..)

So far, I tried previous Acrobat versions.. no luck yet.
This is now a pain in the neck, many .pdf documents cant be read with
Acrobat 5.0 ..

I have only tried it under Linux but the newer versions of Libreoffice /
OpenOffice can open some pdf files (and even allow editing)
Don't recall the latest release for OS/2 that was released with eCS 2.1.
