For electronic submissions this is generally Word (.doc) format or plain text (ASCII). If you're submitting only hardcopy, then this matters much less. If you don't care about being published, then you can use whatever you want. :) At 15:36 (UTC-0000) on Wed, 26 May 2004 Michael Slass said: = juman@jumans.net writes: = = >Is there any more then me out there who write articles, books or longer = >storys and uses Emacs?
