 -> Jack,
 -> I downloaded the BASIS 13 document from the GRAPEVINE BBS and was
 -> shocked to find the files in some .RTF format.  For me .RTF means
 -> Real Tough File.  I have no way of using the file.  Is there another
 -> format for the file anywhere?  Please.... I am very intrested in
 -> participating in ANS Fotyh's definition, but I'm locked out of the
 -> information I need. leave me a message via the net. I call the GRAPE
 -> almost every day. Jim Meyer

         RTF == Real Tough Format :-)

         You got *that* right!

         It's WORD format, available on Mac and IBM. (Microsoft WORD).
 I wanted TROFF format, which produces output viewable on an ASCII
 viewer, but that was not practical given the effort that has been put
 into WORD processing.

         Your alternative is to buy a printed copy. Send $15.00 to:

         ANS/ASC X3/X3J14 Technical Committee
         Suite 300
         111 N. Sepulveda Blvd.
         Manhattan Beach, CA. 90266

         Lots of other people are asking similar questions, so I hope you
 don't mind me copying this message to the networked FORTH Conference.
