I just meant to say that Acrobat Reader isn't so speedy. Microsoft handles
HTML files, natively, so it's a little bit quicker on the fly than Acrobat.
Maybe there's some LINUX or Mac analogue? Then, you wouldn't have to format
for three different applications. After all, if it's formatted to Microsoft
Help (or some other program that functions like it) it will automatically
work on the web by Tim Courtney's very own standards.

I'm sorry if I've "flamed" you in any way. I didn't really mean any offense.
