I agree that word is not the best layout tool, but I do have a problem
using PDF at this stage because PDF is more of an end product tool when
we are going to make an actual release.

We are no where near the stage where we even have a working draft of
what DQOS will look like.

Right now we need to be able to pump files back and forth to each other
in as efficient manner as possible. Word works for me in this regard or
perhaps RTF.

Any consensus folks?

Also does everyone have the secret distributor's zipped DQ version that
we can use as a starting point plus Rodger's PBA, a version of AW, and
Eric's material DQOS material?
