And I agree; All the world is not Word; As you noted, even for the people
using word it's not always the same version, and Word likes to do
interchange in "rich text format"; As I recall the II in ASCII stands for
"information interchange"; It's a good idea unless you really need
formatting data.

Of course it gets fun when you have tables.

But now I'm getting off-topic.

I'll be going on a trip for work at the end of May; After that if there's
a volunteer effort I'd be happy to do some typing.
