Thanks Alexander.
Yes, the choice is current/ports/print/acroread[8-9],

Yes, maybe I should try but unfortunately I probably need 9, as per

        http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ct/ct-online/file-return/online-help.htm
        Click near base of page on "Filing your Company Tax Return online:
        a beginner's guide (PDF 2.1MB)" which goes to online-return.pdf

        online-return.pdf (published August 2011) Page 2 Last Paragraph:
                "You'll need to have Adobe Reader software version
                9.2 or later installed on your computer to use all
                the functionality offered within the HMRC software.
                If you have an older version of Adobe reader, HMRC
                recommends that you download the latest version
                from the Adobe website before you download the HMRC
                software. Although the download is free, it may
                take up to 30 minutes to complete."

(& The combo of HMRC .pdf + Adobe last year was So flakey (using
rec. release of Adobe, not an older release, on MS OS)  I didnt
want to tempt fate further by trying to step back to use 8, though maybe 
later if desperate )

I had noticed the warning 8.2-RELEASE/ports/print/acroread9/Makefile
        pre-everything::
        @${ECHO_CMD} "Try print/acroread8 instead if you need Adobe Reader."
        @${ECHO_CMD} "Currently acroread9 port does not work with X Window "
        @${ECHO_CMD} "System because of issues in FreeBSD's Linux emulation."
is not in (chronologicaly ordered) 9.0-RELEASE & 8.3-RELEASE, & current
so I've been using current ports/print/acroread9

Cheers,
Julian
