I just finished downloading ATMS from comp.binaries.mac and was somewhat
surprised to find that the documentation was in Microsoft Word 3 format.  I
realize that MS-WORD is a popular program, but I know that not everyone has
it.  Since every Mac wordprocessor can at least read MacWrite files, I think
contributors to comp.binaries.mac (or the moderator) should make sure that
the documentation for their submissions is in MacWrite or TEXT format and
thus readable by everyone.

Please don't assume that just because you have the latest nifty word
processor, everyone else has it, too.
