Might be worth a try :-)
A few weeks ago some guy scanned in two or three pages of something
vaguely to do with genealogy (dunno what exactly), formatted it as a Word
document and sent it to me.  It's almost 3 bloody Meg, and I can't even
read it.
Can't (yet) make my Ami-PC parallel link work, and it's much too big to
pass via floppy.

Is there any way of viewing Word docs on the Mig?
A DOpus filetype perhaps?
