Hi

Thanks to Paul Scott for responding.

I'm using Acrobat Reader 5.0, but have just downloaded Adobe reader 6.0 and
am still unable to open the files. Can I be really thick and ask what the
difference between PDF and PS is? That may be the key, as it seems the PS
files are the ones I can't open.

Regards
