If you are just browsing, the "htm" files will
  open quicker while you are on the web.

If you want to save a file, then open the "rtf" 
  or "doc" file and save it to your computer for
 fast reference in the future while offline. 

If you have broad band, you can save all the files
  at once with just one fast download of the "Zip"
  file.  Extract them into "My Documents" and you
  have the entire Tayana List Archives arranged in
  the same folders as this FTP site.
