Subject: File No. S7-9-99 - Edgar Filing Formats Author: Date: 4/30/99 9:13 AM Good morning, I want to notify you of my objection to the filing of documents in any other format than the current plain ASCII text. The use of HTML or PDF will make the information more difficult to use and analyse without the purchase of expensive editing packages or tedious cutting and pasting. The additional graphics capabilities are certaining entertaining but not very informative. Should an investor want that type of information hard copies are currently available if the investor asks. If a decision is made to accept the hard to use formats anyway, please require that the ASCII text format be filed also. Thank you and regards, Patrick M.
