I could try to save as text, but it would be best for him to see the
graphics, which include diagrams of a Sterling engine - layout of the
pistons and etc.  Assuming he has Winders and Internet Explorer, it
could be saved as webpage with the html, and sent to him as an email
attachment. If he wants to post his email addy, I'd give that a try, or
since you seem familiar with him,  maybe you could do that?
