You need a special utility to view any file type. You a web browser viewing
utility, for example, to see a web site. You need the winhel32.exe viewing
utility to see Windows help (non-HTML). Similarly, you need Adobe Acrobat
Reader to view PDFs.
So, pick the special utility you want your audience to use.
I distribute files as PDF because the Acrobat Reader is commonly found,
free, and freely distributable. I recommend that format for you.
All the best.
