It makes some of my old documentation much more accessible. Sadly,
it is a 66MB download. (It is also Java code, but requires
Windows.)
It's written in Java, and yet it *requires* Windows? What is the
nature of this requirement?
(I'd love such a reader but don't use Windows!)
There are Linux and OS/2 versions as well. No idea if the Linux
version
is usable on a non-x86 Linux box.
The "Linux" version is probably fine...I will pull it down and try it
when I have a chance. It's likely that there's a .jar file in there
somewhere; there just aren't that many different ways to run Java
bytecode.
