Yeah I got that. I just said that I won't use a browser to display PDFs and therefor I didn't know about the engine used in Chrome. |

I don't think that Greek guy knew what a PDF is. The only correlation I can see with being portablle, a document or a format is he was a historian. Naming it Polybius would be slightly better. Would still look Greek to me but at least it wouldn't be as confusing as embedding a computer term inside.  |

| Polybios is the Greek version of his name, Polybius the Latinificated one. In fact, since he was Greek, the Wikipedia article really ought to call him Polybios.
It has nothing to do with BIOS or a multiple of anything.
Best regards,

| I am sincerely amazed. I sincerely hope someone will pick the task to write a full-feature PDF viewer for all Amiga OSes around this jewel. I've downloaded the trial version of Hollywood just to run the example PDFviewer on the fly, and its speed and accuracy are astonishing. |
