No it's not. At the point where the Peace Crops volunteer copies it and
handwrites things on it, the preferred form for making modifications is
the paper that the Peace Corps volunteer distributes.
If the recipients don't have access to computers, a file on a floppy disk
is hardly going to be the preferred form for making modifications, is it now?
And if they do, then the URL will probably suffice.
Cheers,
Nick
