I would like to know on which disk that came with my new Dell computer
to look for the (free) Adobe Reader 7 program.
I would like to install the reader on another computer without having
to download it. Since it is a free program there should not be a
question of doing something illegal.

What's the objection to downloading it?

(By the way, the latest release is v8.x.)

FYI 7.0.9 is the last one supporting the existing DRM standards for web
publishing. 8.x is a complete departure from the de facto standards such as
they are and was arrived at unilaterally by Adobe. It has yet to be
accepted by any publisher I am aware of.

Try this: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win

You can go back to version 6.0 from that directory. Earlier versions also
exist elsewhere on the Adobe FTP server (which I'm impressed to see is still
running, publicly available and up to date--at least as far as Reader is
concerned) if you want those.

It may be part of the Dell "image" and may not exist separately. But
what's the issue with downloading it? You can do that, it will take 1-2
minutes, you can burn it to a CD and then do exactly what you want to do.

Adobe can do whatever they want with the PDF format... They *own* it!

8.10 is the latest and is exceptional.

I am using a dial up connection, and the latest versions of the
reader,are very large.

The earlier versions were small and easy to download on a dial up
connection. The latest versions are much larger and my attempts at
downloading were unsuccessful
