I'd love to see that discouragement applied to the people responsible
for the Windows version of Acrobat Reader - I *H*A*T*E* its MDI
interface.  I prefer the UNIX versions, where I can much more easily
look at more than one document at a time, as they're in *separate
windows*.

So I would vote strongly against MDI.  Multiple open windows, one per
document^Wcapture, might work, however.
