In my case, I pay for a public unix account. So I have dialup into the service, then internet all over the place. I guess I tend to forget that not everyone has access to internet. I would think that there is only one universal solution for formatted text and graphical presentations: postscript. For those that don't have postscript output (viewers or printers), then a text version could be stripped out of the postscript. But postscript is not enough; you will eventually want hypertext and animation. Candidates could include hypercard, QuickTime, or some other multimedia/hypercard format. The obvious problem is that these formats are not supported on all systems.
