Howdy,

I am continually amazed that documents I created using a personal, custom format back in the late 1980s can still be typeset once I recreate the format file with the latest software. Long live TeX! :-)

Oh... and documents that were created back then by Word, etc., are dead forever. :-(

Good Luck,
