Doublecheck the technotes... there are a few ways to check versioning:

a)  via JavaScript (but only for browsers which divulge this!)

b)  through a branch based on 4.0 features such as expressions or variables

c)  through the new "version" property in the 4.02 printing players



This points out how the single word "sniffer" can be used to mean many

different things... AfterShock and Publish enable easy media

substitution... some would prefer to branch to different pages... others

wish for autoinstallation after a sniff... then there are the version

issues to work with... atop that some people want to sniff connection speed

for delivery of alternate content. Lotta sniffing. ;-)
