Reports and Command Papers are posted on the website in the Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) file format. To view or print them, you will require the Adobe Acrobat reader software which may be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe website. In some instances, it has been necessary to divide large documents into individual PDF files and compress them into a single 'ZIP' file. You can use any standard 'unzip' software to open such files. Many unzip programs are available free of charge in public software archives, for example the TUCOWS archive.
