        Oops! I goofed... I thought the Acrobat PDF Chooser Extension was freely
available. It's so damn hard to keep up with application "accessories" such
as this... Especially if they end up in the Extensions Folder!

        In any case, there IS an NT4 version available on Adobe's site - Version
3.03 - But it requires a valid serial number for Acrobat Distiller
(?Acrobat Exchange as well??)

        As for Ghost & GhostScript (freeware PostScript® clone), you get what you
pay for. `Ya pay your dues, `ya take your chances. However, keep in mind
that unlike single author shareware & freeware, GNU stuff is done by
committee, and (especially) Mac stuff can run into stability problems.

        Cheers!
