Safari 3.0: DjVu Fix

Monday, Apple released Safari 3.0 for both Macintosh and Windows. I couldn't resist, so I installed it on my office machine and things have been working just fine, until today. While trying to read a DjVu file, DjVu quit. It took me a few minutes to remember that it is a plug-in and may not work with Safari 3.0.

Google to the rescue! Search for: DjVu "OS X" and a number of items are displayed. The original DjVu Plugin and WinDjView were just two of the items to choose from. Check the date on DjVu Plugin and see March 2006---kind of old. Take a look at WinDjView to see what it has to offer. Download, install, start --- success! Looks like I'll be using WinDjView now.

This is the first problem that I have had with Safari 3.0. Famous last words. Somehow, Safari crashed while looking at one of my old posts.
