Well, if Eck is going to tackle IrComm, then I guess I need to start on my=

other most-wanted app, the PDF viewer=2E (I assume the existing team on th=
is
has not made any progress lately?)

My thought is to clone the Movie Converter code, and export each page of
the PDF to an image file (Pict or JPEG)=2E Then the converter could do one=
 or
more of the following:

1=2E Create a simple Web page to reference the JPG's
   This could be used with NewtsCape to create a Newton Book

or

2=2E Create a simple RTF to go into Newton Press
   This assumes that we can work around NP's general flakiness=2E

or

3=2E Create a Mapper module to go into NTK (if we get the NTK problems
resolved)
   This method has the advantage that Mapper allows large images to be=20
   scrolled, but it uses a lot of heap=2E

Comments/Suggestions?
