The "Imaging" program (apparently bought from Kodak), which comes with newer
versions of Windows, handles this file with no problem.  I use Windows 2000,
but I think the same program also came with Windows 98.  It should be
available under Start - Programs - Accessories.  If it's there, I guess
ACDSee "stole" the file association...

If it is not installed on your system, check Control Panel - Add/Remove
Programs - Windows Components.  It might available there (though on Windows
2000 it is not optional).

"Imaging" has buttons in the top toolbar for browsing from page to page, and
an edit box where you can enter the page number.

Anyway, this TIFF just begs for a good OCR job... :-)

Cheers,
Robert
