Many files are in OpenDocument formats and were created using OpenOffice 2.0, 2.4, 2.4.1, and 3.0 Beta. A few are Gnuplot plot files. Other formats such as Excel and portable network graphic files are present as well. Outside of the A204 division of natural sciences and mathematics computer laboratory only the .pdf and .html files can be opened. There are two computers in the math science division conference room which also have the ability to open OpenOffice.org documents.
