  I would vote to change the name to BATFAQ7a.TXT to please both of
  you.  The 7 means 1997 and the a is the first of a series of
  letters, well, you know the pattern: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h...

  The year 2000 would not pose a problem since you should check you
  files every ten years anyway.   BATFAQ0a,TXT

  The folks wanting to know the latest version can look at the
  a,b,c,d,e,f,g to make up their mind, while the folks who want to
  looik at it on line as TXT can do so.

     Downloading it TXT or ZIP should take the same since you get
     compression with most modern modems anyway.  Whaddya think?

   Peace
