Plain text? Do you mean a .txt file or an ACSII file? Converting to ACSII would
work in other formats (with any fancy things such as underlining, etc. looking
like gobbledy-gook symbols), but I didn't know a .txt file would work.
HOFFA
P.S. Word processing files are only one small part of such a switch-over.
Linux is a very different environment from Windows, and, as you say, it would
depend on what you are doing with your computer. I have both operating
systems on my machine. I use a program called System Commander
Deluxe to run Win 95 and Linux and can switch back and forth between them.
I would recommend this course of action for Edward. It would make his
transition easier and not as full of surprises.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
