Hehe. Actually I would expect something more along the lines of:

Good one, Mike Baptiste just released his HCSLog.java for the TINI.
What that does is allow you to let the TINI front end the HCS. He's
currently working on being able to send to the HCS. Currently it

Text or HTML, if it's already a Word DOC I can convert it. I've
never got Word to convert from DOC to HTML. It always loses the
setting.

Visio, I can convert that to jpeg or gif. This way we can convert
everything into an HTML doc. HTML is the easiest to handle.
