"Stupidly" can at least describe the use of Word to create/edit an HTML
document. I'd heard that Word was about the worst as far as HTML bloat was
concerned--in this case an HTML document that is almost exclusively text
(except for the strike throughs and a small table) comes out twice the
size of the basic text!

Plus there's the matter of a *nix company using a Windows word processor
to edit HTML. I'd say SCO's credibility as a company just dropped a couple
of notches with me, but I don't know if they have that many left. :-)

I'm Mike--James' Dad, hence "JamesDad". I use this nym in memory of my
son James Webb (1992-2000) who died fighting leukemia. He was a greater
man at 8 than some ever become. May his life, battle and story never be
forgotten! More info at <http://www.themiraclekids.com/mem-james.htm>.
