(2) Because of the uncertainly of (1) above, it is difficult to reliably support such installations. (3) Adobe does not provide support for such installations. If you have a problem and want Adobe's support, you will "clean" your system by uninstalling all pieces and parts of Acrobat and Reader that you have installed and install either one or the other. Unless you are pretty good system hacker and know what you are doing, we REALLY recommend that you don't try such parallel installations. And furthermore, if you are successful at such an installation, please don't encourage others with less skills to do so; you are doing them no favors! - Dov ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
