And what about all the other operating systems?  I use Amiga, others
use Acorn, Unix, etc., etc.  And what about reading this material in 5
or 10 years time?

I would strongly recommend that the most neutral format possible should
be used.  For instance, text as ASCII or perhaps RTF.  Images in a
common format such as TIFF or JPEG.  And so on.

Keep everything as plain as possible: this is a historical archive, not
a computer game.
