Thanks for the confirmation that owner.doc is the word6 file. Ben Parker
told me had managed to print out a copy using a word6 reader. I've
downloaded, then downloaded, several of the versions. My wife has word6
at work and she'll see if she can get it converted for me.
If I get anything usable I'll make it freely available, if LSOFT has
no objections.
As to plain ascii last, I have to disagree. It should be done in plain
ascii first as that is what everyone can use and *then* be converted to
whatever special format. But you have to understand I worked with Michael
Hart (Project Gutenberg, you know). While we parted company I still agree
with him about all text items being available first in plain ascii.
I know I'm a minority in this, even my wife violently disagrees with me
on the subject. But I never said I was easy to get along with, did I. ;-)
Pete W. says you should start calling me A-Pain-In-The-ASCII, no butts about
it. (sorry Pete, too good not to share.)
