+Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 3.01 - a PDF viewer for X
+
+
+Glyph & Cog, LLC is pleased to announce a new version of Xpdf, the
+open source Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer for X. The Xpdf
+project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript
+converter, and various other utilities.
+
+Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X
+components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and
+should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
+
+Major changes:
+* Added the continuous view mode, including the '-cont' switch and the
+ 'continuousView' config file option.
+* At high zoom levels, don't rasterize the entire page - this avoids
+ problems running out of memory.
+* Added "search backward" and "match case" options to the find dialog.
+* Support explicitly masked images and soft masked images.
+
+See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes.
+
+Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
+compile for UNIX, VMS, OS/2, and Win32.
+
+More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the
+xpdf web page and ftp site:
