Thanks for all answers I got!

As regards Acrobat under Linux/Alpha, there is no much problem at moment.
Because of few other pieces of software I run (ApplixWare, Modula-[23] and
line) I will have to keep at least one x86 box under my desk. What
interested me more was general status of em86 software emulation so I can
decide about directions in our software development. If em86 is capable, we
can stick for some time with it, if it is not, we had to do something about
:).

And gv, I just got this with my K6/200 box :)

frodo:dragisha/p5: ~# gv o288s_ds.pdf

: Don't expect miracles from em86. It makes various Linux/Intel programs
: usable on a totally different processor but it is far from beeing a
: speed daemon.
