Well, if we make Star Office a requirement for xconq, the download is
going to be pretty big ;-)

I think there are more readers out there for pdf files than for doc
files ... (I have a laptop with a small disk drive on which I can play
xconq ... if I need to download star office or abiword, my laptop is not
going to be recent enough ...).

How about developing the docs in .tex, convert is automatically to html
using hevea, and to pdf using tex2pdf ... and everything will be fine
(even windows game come with pdf docs nowadays).
