Steve, here is a good site to see some PDFs (Pretty Damn Fast) files. (Actually Portable Document Format)
adobe.com
PDF format is already accepted in the Govermental, Educational, Organizational, Commercial (Did I leave anything out??) Web sites, FTP Servers, Gophers, etc. We found that it saves us tons of room in our intranet servers.
Not to mention it is cross-platform and Acrobat has gained acceptance by the BIG 3 browsers Navigator, Explorer and Mosaic.
Here is another good site that explains other common internet File Formats (e.g html, gif, tar, jpeg, ascII, sgml etc.)
