Mozilla or derivative, XPDF or GV, Imagemagick or zgv... support freedom ;-)

Yes - I'm with you on that. Only trouble I found was that GV seems to fall over quite a bit on 'newer' .PDF files - very reminiscent of what Ghostscript 5.1 for DOS does (which is what drove me to Linux in the first place!!)

My only very brief fiddle with Mozilla suggested that it looked awfully like Netscape. Is it? And better or worse, bug-wise?

Isn't MC a bit long in the tooth and abandoned now?

I didn't know that. I just found it originally on the Slack 3.5 disk when I was starting out and feeling very lost.As a very-dyed-in-the-wool DOS Xtree Gold man, I started to feel more at home when I happened upon MC. I've just sort-of stuck with it - kindred spirits, I suppose! Of course, XTree's long in the tooth and abandoned now, too, and so am I (well, not abandoned...) so it all fits together. I did discover something called Unixtree, which was supposed to be Linux's closest resemblance to Xtree Gold, but I never got it to run.
