Very good point Gordon, which is why all files should be distributed in one of two methods only.  Either by using ASCII text files,
which any computer should be able to read with little to no problems.
The other being using Adobes .PDF file format which allows documents to traverse virtually any format including the text, graphics, etc.
The PDF format has readers in Unix, Mac, PC, etc; and you will find more and more files on Web pages distributed in this format.
