I've had a problem with RTF files on my Mac. I do all my word
processing in Quark Xpress so all I'll get from a RTF file is text in
default font settings and a drekload of code for anything else inserted
into the file. I ran into this problem when I offered to convert Fro's
TSS issue. I'd rather not try to look at a RTF file. I personally think
of it more as a Microsoft format (and I don't put anything by Microsoft
on my machine).

Then getting someone else who can would be a good idea. PDF was
designed to be universal and I can read those. I'm glad Fro got his hands
on one because I wasn't having any luck with converting his RTF file for
him.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
