[Info-vax] proper file format, attributes for non-binary files served by a web server

[Phillip Helbig---undress to reply]

I have several files (.txt, .html, .htmlx) from various sources which
are served by the OSU server.  At least as far as I can tell, all seem
to work.  Does that mean that they should work with any
standard-conforming browser?  What about with a different web server on 
VMS?  Is there such a thing as a preferred/recommended format for .txt 
files or html files on VMS?
