Difficult, but not impossible.  Software manufacturers should not blame 
their customers and put problems on their shoulders that can easily (or 
difficultly) be solved by the manufacturer.  And "difficult" is relative: 
when 
you have a near-monopoly of the graphics arts market and are earning 
hundreds of millions of dollars, "difficult" is both easy and cheap.

For a start, when I double-click on 
an FM file, FM 7.2 always opens.  So there is no reason why Acrobat 
versions cannot do the same -- the last installed has all the registry 
pointers directed to this version.  As for toobars and plug-ins, they 
could all be installed by the latest installation.

If you wanted to use an older version with a file you would have to launch 

it and use File > Open, just as I do with FrameMaker 7.0.

Hedleyu
