: IMHO, it would be best for Fro to bring out both an RTF version and an
: ASCII one, with the same contents; any pictures included in the RTF file
: could be zipped up with the ASCII one (before anyone says it, I know most
: of the common graphic formats can't really be compressed because they
: already are, but this would just be to keep it all together).
This would suck big time. RTF isn't smaller than Postscript and
Postscript is a machine INDEPENDED format... there are viewers for
EVERY OS.
: I don't really like HTML myself. Sure, it looks pretty good if you know
: what you're doing with it, but it's a pain in the ass to download, and I
: don't like having to start up my computer every time I want to read the
: magazine (or whatever) -- and printing an HTML file also doesn't look all
: that good in my experience.
Huh ???? Just take a web browser to take a look at it and printing it
is usually no problem at all. HTML is the only format besides
Postscript and ASCII that is readable by ALL people.
Later,
Georg
