This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for Tuesday June 4, 1997
With this issue we have reached Etext #933, though we were a little
behind all of the month of May, we managed to catch up just in time.
*
Try "transend.com.tw:/mirrors/gutenberg/etext"
We have a new Etext site up and running in Taiwan, and are working,
hopefully to be ready in a month or two, on a site in Australia.
*
We really NEED some serious volunteers who are willing to help with
Etexts in other languages. . .this is VERY difficult for dyslexics,
such as myself, who normally use only Plain Vanilla ASCII programs.

Our Newest Site Is In Taiwan
ftp transend.com.tw:/mirrors/gutenberg/etext
or, with your browser, the URL is:
ftp://ftp.transend.com.tw/mirrors/gutenberg/etext
(tamshui.transend.com.tw or 192.72.168.3 if you're an
IP freak) it's in /home/ftp/mirrors/gutenberg
Larry Owens, who is handling DNS for the Sailor Network, has pointed out
to me that all DNS-related problems and requests should be addressed to:
dns-admin@sailor.lib.md.us.
This includes DNS items for gutenberg.org . If you do a 'whois' on
gutenberg.org, you'll see that this is the address for the technical
www.ul.cs.cmu.edu These will also be available via FTP.
ftp://ftp.ihug.co.nz/pub/mirror/gutenberg
Adam Moore <sickboy@ihug.co.nz> and Sydney
gopher://spinaltap.micro.umn.edu:70/11/Gutenberg
http://www.mirrors.org.sg/pg
sailor.gutenberg.org
cd pub/gutenberg
ftp://ftp.pinknet.cz/pub/etext/gutenberg/ in the Czech Republic.
http://www.pinknet.cz/reklama.asp
***
http://www.gutenberg.org/ has a page pointing to mirror sites.
http://sailor.gutenberg.org/ is Sailor's web page for its gutenberg site
ftp://sailor.gutenberg.org/ gets you to the Sailor/gutenberg ftp
server , which can also be reached from
the web site above.
For those on the East Coast of the United States we have
sailor.gutenberg.org or 198.76.201.198 in Baltimore, MD
This site should provide very fast service for both WWW
and FTP service.
