One suggestion made was to use ghostview to view PDF files.  Does anybody know
how to build the latest version of ghostscript under OSF/v3.6?  Adobe finally
got around to supporting acroread on DEC Alphas, but only under later versions
of OSF.  It would also be nice to have a more recent version of ghostview.  The
problem is compiling the package libpng.
