Paul,
With all the imbedded graphics on Guy's .doc (after all it is a
pictorial pamphlet) it is not worth the effort. MS Paint yields very
poor copies of the graphics (in fact, they are unrecognizable).
Send him an email and have him snail mail you one. It's easier. His
email on the pamphlet is given as megapropulsion@netscape.net or
rayfiset@globetrotter.net
Give them a holler, they need to be on the list to comment on their
redrives anyway.

Paul,

To handle MS Office .doc & .xl* files, you can get Open Office for free & it
runs on both Windows & variations of Linux type systems.

I know it works with Windows, & a test with Linux will just cost you the
download time.

I would just rather not deal with it as the internet standard 
HTML will do the same thing and there are a lot of viruses written 
for .doc files. HTML will view automatically on most email programs.
No need for a bloated programs like expensive MS Word or its free 
Linux clones to view .doc files.

To get the real information out of a .doc file while in MS Word
hit "save as". Then scroll down and hit "text only". The jpgs or gifs if any
can be extracted by pressing the Print Screen key and then pasting
them into MS Paint and saving as them .bmp files. You can zip the bmp
files and send me those. Or send them not zipped as I can convert them to jpg
or gif on this end. Unfortunately MS Paint will not save as  
compressed gif or jpg files. Those are two internet standards not 
invented by Microsoft. All part of Microsoft's ambitious scheme to destroy
all defacto file standards not controlled by Microsoft.
