[Boatanchors] BAMA

[Garey Barrell]

Ron -

Instead of trying to "open" a file on BAMA, right click on the file and 
specify "Save to Disk" or whatever uSoft calls it. 

THEN "open" the file from wherever you saved it.  I don't know, but I 
suspect it has to do with the computer not being able to handle a large 
file along with the Adobe Reader, which is also a large file, at the 
same time.  In any event this way lets the computer do one thing at a time!

If that doesn't work, let me know what file and I'll see if I can 
download it here ok.
