I dont think there is a good reason why a compressed form of rtf or xml cannot be a standard rather than these over sized versions. Its more like the failing of http, possibly. Allen

Allen, > Yes and XML is doing it all again :) Different formats for different needs. If you want fast and efficient local storage, choose a binary format. If you want a single file format that can easily be parsed according to a detailed published specification, then choose a markup based format such as XML or RTF. No single format is going to meet everyone's needs all of the time. Malcolm No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
