   You're right about ASCII being nice. It's a readable on a lot more
systems than PDF is and the files are smaller too. But as you say, it's
more work and you lose the diagrams. The best solution would be to post
both but that's even more work and requires storage space.

   I don't think webspace will be a problem. Jay West has offered free and
unlimited webspace on his server for anyone to post their classic computer
related pages. I intent to move my stuff over there when I have time. I can
put the Osborne docs on my relocated website if necesssary.

  I'll put together a list of the Osborne docs that I have. I'll try to do
it tomorrow.
