1615 - Summary/Objective
1616 -
161601 - Follow up ref SDS 75 0000, ref SDS 74 0000.
161602 -
161603 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Morris responding to the letter sent on
161604 - 010131, ref DIP 1 EV4I, asking Morris about a file format Cliff can
161605 - use for KM. ref SDS 75 0U5M
161606 -
161607 - Morris says....
161608 -
161609 -    LaTex is a text processing program that uses embedded formatting
161610 -    commands. It is not a pure text file.  It can normally print a
161611 -    regular text file as a form of output. ref DRT 1 ES5N
161612 -
161613 -    The battle is between pretty and useful, many prefer good form to
161614 -    good content.  ref DRT 1 BS6H
161615 -
161616 - This does not directly answer the question Cliff asks about what
161617 - format to use for KM, ref SDS 75 LF7M, but it indirectly confirms the
161618 - letter to Cliff on 010131 that he can convert the file to text,
161619 - ref SDS 75 065M, and send it for analysis in SDS, as previously
161620 - requested on 010126. ref SDS 73 V2RY
161621 -
161622 - Morris does not say if Word can read a LaTex file, which was set out
161623 - in the letter to him on 010131. ref DIP 1 00WT
161624 -
161625 - Sent an email to Morris asking....
161626 -
161627 -     Thanks for timely response.  Can Word read a LaTex file?  If so,
161628 -     Cliff can send his original file, and I can convert to text for
161629 -     use in SDS.
161630 -
161631 -     Seems strange the entire KM battle is over form or substance, per
161632 -     POIMS. ref OF 1 0959
