RE: New RPGIV functionality

I only use Notes for COMMON business. I don't know if there is a web plug-in
for .NSF files. I believe you can export them to HTML or RTF, can't you? I
think all documentation should be in one of 4 formats:

 ASCII Text
 RTF (Microsoft Rich Text Format)
 .DOC (Microsoft Word document file)
 HTML

I will start setting up the webpage within RPGIV.com soon, at that point
there'll be a link to submit stuff to. If only a few people submit stuff, it
won't stay up for long...
