Adam,
Your suggestion was right on. You are quite correct.
I changed the file extension to html, added:
<!-- ident: /DEC.html>
<html>
<pre>
[These header and footer lines appear to be a part of html files]
</pre>
</html>
around the document and the font came out fixed width, restoring the columnar
appearance.
Thank you.
