Re: PDF support for the windows installer for PARI

Oddly, ??sin gives only the short help:

(10:07) gp > ??sin
sin(x):

   Sine of x.

   The library syntax is GEN gsin(GEN x, long prec).

Sure:

(10:07) gp > ??tutorial
using 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe', displaying 'tutorial.pdf'.

The acrobat message: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."

This seems unlikely: the file is in the cwd.
Does ??sin works ?

Could you copy the line that end by "displaying 'tutorial.pdf'" which is printed
in gp ?

Thanks,
