Ray,

If you save these .doc files from dtmail to a directory on ouray,
then you can use ooffice (Open Office) to open the files by logging 
into one of two hao linux machines: proteus or nereid.

So lets say you have saved file.doc in the directory /home/roble/papers, 
then you can do this:

ssh -X proteus         [use your regular hao password]
cd /home/roble/papers  [go to the dir with the file]
ooffice file.doc &     [open office should open the file and pop up a window]

You can read and print from ooffice. When finished, quit ooffice
then exit out of proteus. Use only proteus or nereid for this,
it does not work on many of the other linux boxes.
