I did
http://geolsoft.freeshell.org/to.pdf
with links
html:<a href="http://geolsoft.freeshell.org/to.pdf\hash page.2">
html:<a href="http://geolsoft.freeshell.org/to.pdf\hash Page=2">
but my browser keeps opening the file in a separate
Acrobat Reader when I click on the link in from.pdf, so
something is wrong with my browser. However, both of them
work correctly if I enter the links directly into the
browser's address box. I've tried with Mozilla 1.7.10,
Firefox 1.5, Acrobat Reader 7.0 and nppdf.so pdf plugin
distributed with Acrobat Reader 7.0.

It's OK with me as long as this is only a problem with my
viewer/browser/whatever, or even if no viewers
currently/permanently support this. The reason I asked was
because I wanted to implement a hyperTeX hyperlink driver
for Eplain. So I need, in the absence of a tool to test
this, some kind of a standard for the hyperTeX tags, if it
indeed exists. Everything I've found on the Web and in
dvips.pdf on my system is some sort of informal description
of the tags, and even the "file:" prefix trick I had to
pick up from the mailing list archives, not from any
documentation. This leads to the next question:

Are such tags documented somewhere? I've never seen this
one mentioned anywhere while reading docs on hyperTeX. I've
leafed through PDF 1.3 spec but could not find anything
there. Probably I've looked in the wrong places?

Thanks, that's a good idea. I'll post my questions there,
too.
Thanks a lot for your assistance,
Oleg
