How about two versions: text only, and PDF format? Like the XYZZY
magazine uses. I have no idea if creating a PDF document involves
buying a commercial product or not, I'm just throwing this out for

on a Mac or in Windows, and people who don't want to bother with
downloading the graphics can simply get the text versions.
