Mr McWhinnie:
You may be able to help some of us Netters with ancient computer
systems running on barebones ISPs. (Mine is PCDOS and Lynx/Pine).
I (and others I believe) are unable to decipher your coded
attachments to most of your posts. Our ISP system says "unable to read".
Please advise us if there is any solution to this problem, or does
our lack of an appropriate system doom us to exclusion from your efforts
to educate us, something greatly desired.
Sincerely.

I didn't sign up for Hal's class so I haven't seen the doc's he's sending
out, however, if they're just text (however well formatted), one option
might be to use the "File-->Save As" option to change the output file
type to plain text and forward that to people who can't read Word docs.
Saving and sending as html files *should* work too since an html
file is a plain text file that your web browser interprets to make the
text look pretty (and place any pictures that should appear on the page).
