Under what circumstances did you see this message?  I haven't seen  
it, but I've done almost no testing with Panther, since I have to  
reboot into Tiger to recompile after making any changes to the code.

Hmmm...I haven't the faintest idea what MSL.framework is.  TCOBrowser  
certainly isn't linked to it, but apparently it's bundled with some  
application that you have.  My guess is that you have some browser  
plugin trying to load the PDF, and the webview doesn't work with it?   
Oh, I just saw your note below, and it appears that this is correct ;).

You should be able to control-click and save the linked file (at  
least, that worked last time I tried it).  I just single-clicked the  
fonteinf.pdf file in the web drawer on Tiger, and it loaded right  
into the drawer, which is a feature that I didn't even know about!   
Looks like I need some kind of magnification feature in the drawer  
now...

Sorry about that, but I'm just not sure what to tell you.  If you  
have Interface Builder, try opening up TCOBrowser's MainWindow.nib,  
double-click on the "web drawer" view, select the WebView and hit cmd- 
shift-i to get info on it, then uncheck "Enable plug-ins" and see how  
it goes.  If that doesn't make sense, I can send you a build with  
that done.

regards,
Adam
