OK. Then at the very least, I can set up a link to the RTF download
point
from the main "world" page.

Making PDF is pretty easy, but I've had a rough time with things (like
the
Plastic Warriors stuff) that do not use PostScript fonts. Generating the
files is reasonably simple, but they look like hell. What platform will
be
used to generate the original RTF file, and what fonts will be used?
Some
early descisions on this could help a lot for the PDF version.
Otherwise,
I may need to use some font substitutions and so on, which is generally
a huge pain.
