Well I got it to run on my A3000 (WB3.1). The biggest problem I had was with
fonts. Apart from that I just followed the instructions.  It even displays the
PDF files (if a bit slowly). The only thing is how do you get it to print?
Every time I try it tells me that it doesn't know how (no printers).
