Re the earlier discussion on an electronic WBG: Has anyone tried a product
called "Common Ground"? This is purported to let one view and print
documents cross-platform using either an embedded "mini-viewer" placed
by the originator of the file, or a "viewer" running on the reader's
machine. Versions are presently available for Mac and Windows, with a
version for Suns due "soon". The company tells me that the full viewer
can be puchased in quantity for about $19 per copy. A user who has
purchased the full version (about $100) can embed a mini-viewer in a
document and distribute royalty-free.
