Please DO NOT use the plain .doc file unless you have no choice! WinZip
will uncompress the .doc.gz file if you _must_ use Word, and it saves
two MEGABYTES on each download.

For those who don't have StarOffice, that's what the .sdw file is.

It's interesting to note the relative file sizes (these are all exactly
the same file). StarOffice is either devilishly efficient or compresses
as it saves. Word just plain sucks. Ask me to send you the suicide
Clippy if you don't have it. (-:

If you have neither SO nor MSW, you can view a .ps file with gv or print
it with simply lpr filename.ps - the ideal thing to do is this:

    bunzip2 <filename.ps.bz2 | lpr

Windows users can try a PDF viewer, some work and some don't, and if you
have a PostScript printer just use the DOS COPY command to print it, for
example:

    COPY filename.ps LPT1

I tried an RTF and an HTML save but it was too ambitious a project (the
results sucked amazingly, in different ways, although all of the
pictures and most of the text did actually survive).

The .txt file is only useful for quoting from. (-:

Please post improvements here.

If at first you don't succeed, try a shorter bungee.
