To those of you attempting to make printed copies of BASIS documents:  X3J14
does not authorize any printed documents that are not a direct result of the
RTF formatting information incorporated in the file.  This is because there is
critical technical information carried by the formatting.  For example, some
paragraphs contain rationale information which is not binding.  You can only
spot these because of the formatting.

I confess I'm utterly baffled by someone's comment that he managed to convert
and print it in "only" 5 hrs!  Is your time worth so little ($3/hr in this
case, not counting 200 sheets of paper), or are you so starved for
entertainment, that you'd do this in preference to simply sending a check for
$15 (to the Forth Vendors Group, 111 N. Sepulveda Blvd. Suite 300, Manhattan
Beach, CA 90266)?
