Hypertext, graphics and multimedia capabilities are valuable in learning many things - it is difficult to learn to pronounce languages with no sound models, for example. What formats and media are there available and what would be good to use in UU? Some that come into my mind: Text/hypertext: - Usenet articles / mail (for roughly all environments) - GNU texinfo/info (for Unix at least, apparently also MS-DOS) - gopher, www and wais (on Internet) - ftp arvchives - Hypercard (Mac) Multimedia - HyTime - gopher Graphics - postscript //Jyrki

Some that come into my mind: How about MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) described in RFC 1342 (now a Proposed Standard in Internet). It can handle text (various fonts and styles), sound, graphics... Documents can be sent with standard 7-bit mail using encoding/decoding. Various commercial and 'free' implementations are already under work. This seems to have enough merit to become a widely accepted 'standard' (at least in Internet).
