You can store huge amounts of text data in ASCII form on a CD-ROM disc or a
tape. When you call it back up you get a computer screen in whatever font
your computer is using. Does anyone know of major efforts to store this text
in formatted form (RTF, Display Postscript, TeX etc.) so that it can be
retrieved (perhaps on a graphics terminal) looking like the original page
from which it was taken?
