Xpdf is known to work on the following systems:

  x86, Linux 1.2.13, XFree86 3.1.1, gcc 2.6.3 PowerPC, AIX 4.1, gcc 2.7.0
  SPARC, SunOS 4.1.3, gcc 2.5.8 MIPS, Ultrix 4.4, gcc 2.6.3 Alpha, OSF/1
  1.3, gcc 2.6.3

Those without convenient http access can access source code and precompiled
binaries at ftp.andrew.cmu.edu:pub/xpdf/

I’ve never tried it myself, but if Unicycling info is distributed in PDF, I
guess I’ll have to. Reading comp.os.linux.announce has finally paid off. :slight_smile:

ObUnicycle:

I’m not making much progress on idling. I think this is due to a fear of falling
backwards. Any advice on how to overcome this, preferably without falling
backwards repeatedly?
