I agree that the most used medium is text files, but in the interest
of readability and presentation some more aesthetic format is
desirable.  For those not fortunate enough to have MS-Word or access
to laser printers, it would be nice to maintain a plain version, as
stipulated in earlier postings.

It might be a good idea to have the code segments available for ftp on
the major archives.
