Yes, it does. Thank you for the heads up.

I also re-installed acroread7 (had the ports info on
another machine), which I will continue to use, since xpdf
does not seem to offer a way to open files other than from
the command line.

If I can butt in here, I just discovered, myself, that if
you press the right mouse button in an xpdf session, it will
provide a popup menu, the first item of which is "open"

man xpdf gives all the gory details.

Oh, interesting. Well, that opens some interesting
possibilities. Always hated acroread7 popping up with a
ginormous window to start.

And the fact that it is a true binary, and not some
linux compatability file is a definite bonus...
