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.
