Francine,

.pdf stands for "Portable Document Format" and is a format for 
files pioneered by Adobe.  In order to see these files online at your 
machine or on the web through your browser, you need to have the 
Adobe Acrobat Reader program installed on your machine.  The program 
is free from Adobe (they charge for the more complex program that 
lets you create pdf files, but they want everyone to be able to read 
them....grin) and since we are making greater and greater use of 
pdf files on the MOS website (as are many other websites) it would be 
a good idea for you to get and install the program.

Fran has a link on the web page that will go directly to Adobe's site
and allow you to download the program.  I have to admit it took me 
some browsing to locate that link, so here is the place to look for 
it:

We provide the MOS press releases and the back issues of the MD 
Yellowthroat (except for calendar entries) in .pdf format, so once 
you have the program, check them out!

Check them out and let us know what you think.  If you have further 
questions, don't be afraid to ask!

Norm

P.S. I'll print and mail you the conference registration form 
tomorrow morning.
