Does not Eudora not support RTF???
I think the softwarechoice in this case was not limited to DOS. Few participants of
this list are limited to DOS,
some even use Windows95. A systemindependent solution is to print the document, put it
in an envelope and
mail it.

I think RTF solves problems i a lot of other situations.
I thought Word6 and 95 use them same fileformat, or are there some differences. No
other program than
Word95 (Or Wordviewer) can open a Word95-document that has been fastsaved, it has to
be saved in a
different filename to remove all the different versions. This goes for
Word97-documents too.

But they can install them (unless they have a bootlegged copy or Word97)
>(why install something you wouldn't need?)
No Microsoft-installationprogram will ever ask that....
