This is an extention of their plan to replace adobie as the leader for
multi platform documents, they do provide a free word 6.0 reader but only
for win 3.1, and even then it's not guaranteed to work.
Could somone unlucky enough to be running Windoze read it, save it in a
more appropriate format and stick it on a web page somewhere?
I'd like to see it but I bannished MS from my system last summer in favor
of a cool operating system I read about in "the computer paper" back in
1995 ;)
