 -> However, this brings up the question of:  is it possible, in any way,
 -> shape or form, to obtain any of the BASIS docs in simple Ascii
 -> format. For those of us who don't have a copy of editor X or
 -> word-processor Y or Z-roff or whatever?

         There is no simple ascii format that would represent the
 boxes and strikeouts which convey important information. So the answer
 is no.

         A printed copy of the BASIS is available for $15.00 from:

                 X3J14 Technical Committee
