On the reverse slope of interesting hacks to transfer files, I worked at a
company that produced large technical manuals for its software and hardware
(200-300 pages).  The documentation people used one mini to type in and
edit these documents.  They were then printed out for proof reading by the
engineers.  Once corrected, they were printed out again in final format
and hand carried to another building where the print shop was.  There, they
were typed in again, proofed again, and printed.  I never could convince
them that there *had* to be a better way.  After all, this company sold
computer based systems (sigh).
