[AT] Off topic Open Office PDF UPDATE Larry Goss

[charlie hill]

I have ..... (well had I guess.  I just looked for it and must have lost it 
with a hard drive back in the spring).....  some sort of generic PDF writer 
that I bought online in the middle of the night one night when I had to get 
a PDF file out and had no way to make it.  I can't remember the name of it 
now but it didn't cost much.
