No, viewing it was never a problem -- I did that a few

Next time I probably will. Distiller, I suppose,

This document was only 2 pages long, and I was under
a deadline, so it was simply more expedient to retype

Only with the Hex editor, but I guess that was never
gonna work. None of the tools cited allowed me to
make any changes.

couple of effective dates mentioned in the text, and
repair a couple of serious typos the author missed.
