I did manage to connect to berea earlier today, and got all the files,
but can't for the life of me figure out what format they're in.
Looking at the files with less suggests their in mac word format,
but my wordproccessor (which can read Word versions 5 and lower)
can't make head nor tails of them.

Mercenary X: Could you please convert the files to a more universal
format (such as RTF)?

Did you uncompress them? (Take out the .Z suffix)

DAVID: Dop you know how long that would take?
