Hi Frabjous,

I was indeed interested since I've been testing sopdf and I love it. I've been following the developments at CES and when I saw that all the new big screen readers are going to be very expensive and are not going to be available for a few months, I decided I cannot wait and I will most likely go for a less expensive product even if the screen is smaller. Then sopdf becomes essential.

Anyway, I was going to try the GUI since that would make things a bit more comfortable with sopdf but I ran into problems. On the command line sopdf works perfectly but when I tried to execute the binary file you compiled for Linux (% ./soPDF_Frontend) I get the following error message: "bash: ./soPDF_Frontend: cannot execute binary file
".
