I guessed that was the case. However, it's easier to change once I've 
got the data than starting from scratch.

Well, looks like I'm 0-2. I used InDesign, which is a *long* way from 
open source. I can definitely understand that being able to maintain it 
is a virtue. If you'd like to include an up-to-date version, knowing 
you might have to throw it out at a later date when it gets too old to 
be useful, I'm willing to make the changes. I'm not familiar enough 
with open source graphic design tools to know what to use. :(

Might something be better than nothing? I know it's not the best 
situation, but the offer's still good.
