Gentlemen:  I have been reading, with interest, the comments about
archiving data on CD.  The question of what format to save the files in
has been discussed.  May I suggest Adobe Acrobat?

This format is readable on most platforms and can include pictures and
illustrations.  This is rapidly becoming a standard format for Internet
files due to the availability of readers for most operating systems.
Don Lancaster, a gentlemen for whom I have great respect suggests that
this is the format to look to.  Thanks for the chance to give my "two
cents" worth.

Best to you all.

Jim Cook
