Right, sorry, with you now.  A limitation which can be removed with a
bit of tweaking.  ( It's coded in Python with WxWidgits )

Missed the 'Q' bit in my quick scan of the message.  This Mr Cretu's  QT4 layer
over the original pdf2swf.   If he's dropped a version number off,  then you'd
better drop him a email.

Spoilsport. ;o)

As was stated, I'm not really a 'footie' fan.   But, that 'Cyril'
ditty got a cult
following in the UK at the time, and ended up becoming  part of the social
fabric of the English language, way more successful than any of Arsenal's
'dirges'.  Almost everyone knows it,  even those way too young to remember
where it originally came from.

Arsenal's great claim to fame came from having their team name being
shouted by the late British comedian, John Eric Bartholomew

every time his double-act partner Ernie Wise coughed!
.
Now so far off topic as to not actually caring... I leave you with this one,

     http://www.arseweb.com

I'm not sure that whomsoever came up with that, was a fan or an enemy!!

Cheers,


Chris.
