I recently purchased a Compaq Presario with Windows XP, and I use Netcape 6.1 as my browser. I was surprised to find it didn't have Acrobat Reader.  I downloaded the file, but I have no idea how to install it.  It has a .pcx extension, and my computer tries to open it with Phtoshop, which says it's an invalid pcx file.  I was able to go to Netscape and download an older version of Reader in an executable file, but it's version 5.01, and I would like to have the search capability, and that's not available from the Netscape site. What is the extension .pcx?  How can my computer install it if it's not an executable file?  Any suggestions?  Thanks, guys (and gals).
