I suggest _not_ using MacWrite or MacPaint format. The idea is to use
a format that _everyone_ can read. Many people do not use MacWrite or
MacPaint, and cannot open these documents. (Yes, I know some other
applications can read these formats as well, but not everyone has them,
either.)

So, use Teachtext. That's what it's for. That's why everyone has it.
Many authors already do this. It's simple. It's easy. It's free.
