Re: PDF link

Thanks a lot to everybody who helped me in the right direction here (a
long time ago)! 
Lovely solution!
However I'm having trouble due to the fact that I usually store my
papers in bzip2'ed form. Where can I tell pybliographic to use zxpdf
(debian) as the program to access these files?

Thanks, Joh
