   Don, you forgot to tell the editors the advantages of postscript. i.e.
   graphics, harder to plagiarize, etc.
   have you heard about a program that converts Wordperfect or Word files into
   ascii files and then converts them back to the original. that would solve a
   lot of problems. for now i am going to have my authors prepare ascii files
   and send graphics in hard copy to people who request them.

I did mention graphics and the plagiarization, I dunno.  People
can always scan finished copy and get it back in electronic form.
But certainly it slows it down.
 
When you convert WP binary files to ascii, you lose the formatting
codes.  Actually WP will save to ascii and then read the ascii,
but formatting will be gone.
