the format and version that it was generated (i.e., MS Word,

WordPerfect 5.1/5.2, ASCII, etc.). It is not necessary to reformat word

processor generated text to ASCII. For Macintosh users, it would be

helpful to save the documents in Macintosh word processor format and

then write them to files on a diskette formatted for MS-DOS machines.
