Check out the Adobe Home page http://www.adobe.com, click down to
"download a free acrobat reader", and then to Prerelease software "UNIX".

That takes you to:

http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/3beta/undownload.html

There you will find links to download an acrobat reader that
explicitly states "LINUX 1.2.13 Fall 95 yggbrasil ONLY".

They seem a little emphatic about that but the "README" file
the page makes reference to only refers to it being a "brand new" release.
Your guess is as good as mine. I have downloaded it but have not had an
opportunity to run it as yet.
