Mark, I will pass on your question to Elizabeth so that it can be discussed at
the next meeting.  If you are willing to do the work, I certainly have no
problem carrying the multiple versions, but I certainly can not speak for the
TC.

Considering your efforts has reminded me of a feature that I have in Microsoft
Word that might be useful.  I can produce a Rich Text Format file with almost
no effort.  Would the document be more useful in that format?  Would more
people be able to use it?  Since Word can read in RTF files, it might even
replace the Word format entirely.

What do you all think?   DaR
