Yes, they are meant to be viewed on a QL.
There are several PC to QL file transfer programs available (Discover
from Dave Walker running on a QL, WXQT2 and WXQLTool from Jonathan
Hudson both running on Windows or Linux systems, plus QLTools, a DOS
command line driven QL/PC disk file transfer utility among many other
such programs).
The DOC files can be difficult, as they are in Quill (a QL
wordprocessor) format. You would need a program like Norman Dunbar's
Windoze Stripper program (look out for the little Easter Egg in that
program and make sure there's no women about when you find it) to
convert them to plain text to view on a PC. The text files mostly have
QL-style linefeed characters (chr$ 10 only) at the end of a line, you
would need to add a carriage return (CHR$ 13) to each line to sensibly
view them on a PC, although Wordpad in Windoze can sometimes cope with
such text files.
