RTF is bad since there are few viewers for this type of file. View is the
only DOS program I've seen. HTML have several versions for all OS.
The problem with HTML is that the images aren't icnluded in the HTML file
so people might forget to copy them to a floppy (My dad did this once).
This is the only place where DOC can perhaps be better.
Ok, RTF solved a problem when Word 6 couldn't open a Word 95 file, but
other than that it's not any good. Also all users don't have all the
converters installed (why install something you wouldn't need?)
