Plain text (ASCII) is done last because it requires the most hand-formatting.
I've not yet reached the point where it would be an effective use of time
to do that.  However, that point should be reached very soon now.

You're right, it's MS Word 6.  This is not new, Douglas, the .DOC files
on our site have always been Word 6.

You could always download the .PDF version and use the Adobe Acrobat
Reader (available from www.adobe.com) ... or view the PostScript version
with GhostScript or some other comparable PostScript viewer.  Currently
there's no WordPerfect version because the conversion filter GPFs when
I try to make the conversion.
