Those are actually converted Word documents. I published them only
in PDF because it preserves all the fonts and formatting. You may
want to just copy and paste the file into a plain text file, then
send the final product to me so I can format it.

I haven't done much work on Sasxsek in the past year. I started to
take a break from it about then, but now my work schedule is taking
up so much of my time I hardly have time for a life of my own. It's
enough just to keep up with some of these lists. Eventually I would
like to create more materials. Videos aren't really possible. I
don't own or have any access to video equipment. Even then, I'd
prefer work with someone else on this. I just hate hearing my own
voice on recordings.

I plan on making online courses too. There just hasn't been enough
time, and I still want to get the vocabulary stable. It's hard to
keep updating all those reference documents to keep up with changes.
Some very basic semantic concepts are still missing from the lexicon
so it's still hard to create anything right now.
If you really want to start using the language, you still can. If
you have suggestions to add to the vocabulary, then just let me know
and I'll give them some consideration.
