Technical Details

The original TidBITS files (formatted in the setext format) were slightly reformatted using BBEdit Lite. Changes primarily consisted of adding bookmark markers, and editing section titles to fit in the 15-character limit for bookmarks in the AportisDoc Reader.

The resulting file was then converted to a DOC-format document using MakeDocDD by Masatoshi Yoshizawa.
