&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;Yeah... Someday, though, people will figure out how to use document
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;formats that are document formats.  :-D  Word is a proprietary
&gt; &gt; &gt;thing, &gt;and before OpenOffice, what did people request when someone
&gt; &gt; &gt;didn't have &gt;access to anyone else that had a Word license?  
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; that's easy:  RTF.  It is the non-proprietary subset supported
&gt; &gt; &gt; universally.  If you send an RTF doc all platforms (at least all the
&gt; &gt; &gt; ones I know about) will be able to open and render it.  Avoid using
&gt; &gt; &gt; strange fonts/formatting and you should be good.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; PDF sucks (requires bloatware to view).  JPG is better than PDF. ;-)
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; What?  jpg was not designed for documents, but for images.  
&gt; 
&gt; In xpdf and gpdf all you are viewing is an image, albeit an image of a
&gt; document.
