Unfortunately, like others, I have nothing available that will view or
print Postscript files. I can manage .RTF easily and would prefer that:
ASCII will do if it ends the squabbling.

So? Works for me, I just want the lights to flash and my mail to get
through. Don't have the time or energy to spare to learn, install, and
configure Linux when Windoze works perfectly well for what I want.

Well, we're into the War of the OSes, and I guess the actual issue -
like, what format(s) should this magazine be in - is going to get lost.
