The idea is to use a format that _everyone_ can read. Many people do not use MacWrite or MacPaint, and cannot open these documents. (Yes, I know some other applications can read these formats as well, but not everyone has them, either.) So, use Teachtext. That's what it's for. That's why everyone has it. Many authors already do this. It's simple. It's easy. It's free. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP:jamespa@csuf3b.CSUFresno.EDU Compuserve:72767,3436 GEnie:J.PAUL Packet:N6SIW@K6RAU AppleLink:D1231 America Online:JLPaul
