Subject: March Project Gutenberg Newsletter
From: Michael Hart <hart@beryl.ils.unc.edu>
To: "Project Gutenberg mailing list" <gutnberg@listserv.unc.edu>
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 13:31:19 -0500 (EST)
This Newsletter is being sent from an alternate address, so please be
careful to reply to hart@pobox.com. . .more below on this. Apologies
. . .prairienet.org doesn't seem to be working properly. . . .
This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for Wednesday, March 7, 2001
Etexts Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since Before The Internet
[Usually sent the first Wednesday of each month, delayed if by relay.]
Main URL is promo.net Webmaster is Pietro di Miceli, of Rome, Italy
*Check out our Websites at promo.net, and ask me for our FTP servers.*
Well, it's almost another set of minor miracles that have me here this
morning writing another Project Gutenberg Newsletter to you, filled up
not only with the 50+ Etexts you have come to expect, but with a great
collection of dictionaries, as well, for a total of about 75 Etexts.
A week ago I had no idea we would actually be able to present any more
than a handful of Etexts today, but we actually managed to add 53 more
just in the last 7 days, and some of them were posted more than once--
to present a more integrated index format for the dictionaries.
We are going to be working on some PERL scripts, etc., to automate the
process, so if you are a script writer or programmer with ideas on how
to add our header to Etexts and "fill in the blanks," please email me.
hart@pobox.com is usually the best address to email me at, rather than
just hitting the "reply" key. . .the reason is that right now I divide
my day between hart@prairienet.org for doing most of my email, and for
posting the books I tend to use hart@beryl.ils.unc.edu and then send a
few emails from there while I am directly working on the Etexts. . .it
is ok to send to BOTH hart@pobox.com these other addresses, I will get
two copies.
and
We have copyright clearances for a few people who didn't include their
email addresses with their title page xeroxes. . . .
Please include your email address when you send us snailmail. . .!

Headline News:
***
We are considering a Portuguese Etext, Os Lusiadas, for Etext #3333.
This will likely also be our 30th Anniversary Edition Etexts!!!!!!!
If you can help with this, please let me know. We received xeroxes:
Os Lusiadas, by de Luis de Camoes from Maria Helena Moreira 02/20/01
[Full Names: Maria Helena Moreira Rodriques and Victor Calha, so if
you know either of these people, please try to get me in touch. . .
If you are in Portugal, please email, I have more information. . . .

New Site In Croatia
and for Projekt Dubravka in Croatian
http://gutenberg.ssivanic.hr
HTTP only (no FTP)
New site in Germany
ftp://ftp.tu-ilmenau.de/project_gutenberg
This site has been established around six weeks ago.
It updates on a daily base and has a good connection
(155Mbit) to the german research network where all
universities in germany are connected.
Our San Francisco site has a new address:
movie0.archive.org
cd pub/etext/etext02
By the time most of you read this, it will be my birthday. . . .
I was 24 when I started Project Gutenberg. . .so do the math....
;-)
You can read a "Slashdot" interview with me about Project Gutenberg:

and
You can see me on Japanese public television [NHK] on March 31, 11PM.

http://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02
or
ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02
You will need the first five letters of the filenames listed below.
With 3225 eTexts online it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers
gaining a nominal value of $3.10 from each book, for Project Gutenberg
to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
Next month we will try to reach #3333 for a "price" of $3.00 per copy
to have given away our goal of $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars]
with a total of 833 Etext titles from April, 2000 to April, 2001. . . .
This "cost" is down from $3.17 when we had 3150 Etexts on February 6
This "cost" is down from $3.23 when we had 3100 Etexts on January 3
This "cost" is down from $3.33 when we had 3000 Etexts on December 6
This "cost" is down from $3.40 when we had 2870 Etexts on October 18/Nov 1
This "cost" is down from $3.48 when we had 2870 Etexts on September 3
This "cost" is down from $3.55 when we had 2820 Etexts on August 16
This "cost" is down from $3.60 when we had 2775 Etexts on August 2
This "cost" is down from $3.70 when we had 2650 Etexts in July
This "cost" is down from $3.77 when we had 2650 Etexts in June
This "cost" is down from $3.92 when we had 2550 Etexts in May
This "cost" is down from $4.00 when we had 2500 Etexts in April
Can you imagine each one of thousands of books reduced by 90 cents???
In a period of only 11 calendar months??? When we complete the July
2002 Etexts, we should have this "cost" down to under $3.00!!!

From: Michael Lynch <lynchm@johnmarshall.edu>
I have an interest in the works of Joseph Altsheler, an
author of adventure stories for boys whose works are all public domain.
I am particularly interested in the Young Trailer series (as was Saul
Bellow who refers to two od the characters, Henry Ware and Timendiquas
in The Adventures of Augie March). One title (Scouts of the Valley)
is already in Gutenberg. Several others are:
The Young Trailers
The Free Rangers
Forest Runners: A Story of the Great War Trail in Early Kentucky
The Keepers of the Trail
The Border Watch
I can't scan right now, but would be happy to proof read if anyone else can
find and scan the texts.

SMARTPHONE PDA OFFERS C-PHONE, BROWSER, ORGANIZER
Verizon Wireless is introducing a new $499 7.3-ounce device called the
Kyocera Smartphone, which combines a cell phone with a personal digital
assistant based on the Palm operating system. It is one of the first phones
to include a mobile Internet browser that can access the Web either through
the wireless carrier or through the same Internet service the device's
owner uses on his or her desktop, and that can download full-text versions
of texts in the HTML language. (AP/USA Today 2 Mar 2001)

PUBLISHERS' SPAT HIGHLIGHTS E-BOOK DEBATE
Random House has filed suit against e-book startup RosettaBooks, accusing
it of illegally selling electronic versions of books by Random House
authors Kurt Vonnegut, William Styron and Robert B. Parker. RosettaBooks
CEO Arthur Klebanoff countered that his company has contracts with the
three authors to publish electronic versions of their works, and that
Random House is "wrong" to think it automatically has rights to publish
e-books just because it has the rights to the print versions. The suit goes
to the heart of a long-simmering debate between publishers and authors over
whether publishers have an automatic right to publish electronic versions
of books. Authors argue that the right must be specified in a contract,
much like foreign rights. (Wall Street Journal 28 Feb 2001)

VERISIGN EXPANDS DOMAIN NAMES
VeriSign's Network Solutions Internet registrar is tripling the number of
com, .net and .org Internet addresses available by processing
registrations in 60 additional languages. The new languages, including
Swedish, French, Spanish and German, cover 40 countries and will enable
organizations to register names with the accents and local characters of
their native languages. "One of the criticisms of the Internet over many
years is that it is too English," says Network Solutions executive Phil
Callan. "This is the internationalization of the Internet and provides an
opportunity for thousands of European businesses to get local domain names
in local languages." (Financial Times 25 Feb 2001)

[WARNING: Verisign also intends to stop dealing in .net and .org domains]

With 3000 eTexts online it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers
gaining a nominal value of $3.33 from each book, for Project Gutenberg
to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
With 3150 eTexts online it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers
gaining a nominal value of $3.17 from each book, for Project Gutenberg
to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
This "cost" is down from $3.23 when we had 3100 Etexts on January 3
This "cost" is down from $3.33 when we had 3000 Etexts on December 6
This "cost" is down from $3.40 when we had 2870 Etexts on October 18/Nov 1
This "cost" is down from $3.48 when we had 2870 Etexts on September 3
This "cost" is down from $3.55 when we had 2820 Etexts on August 16
This "cost" is down from $3.60 when we had 2775 Etexts on August 2
This "cost" is down from $3.70 when we had 2650 Etexts in July
This "cost" is down from $3.77 when we had 2650 Etexts in June
This "cost" is down from $3.92 when we had 2550 Etexts in May
This "cost" is down from $4.00 when we had 2500 Etexts in April
Can you imagine each one of thousands of books reduced by 83 cents???
Just from one spring to the next winter??? When we complete the July
2002 Etexts, we should have this "cost" down to under $3.00!!!
We are searching for something appropriate for #3333, so please let us
know if you have any suggestions.

It's kind of a minor miracle that we actually have a Newsletter today,
and that it is filled with all the new Project Gutenberg Etexts I have
normally come to expect to be able to hand you on the first Wednesday,
every month for quite a long time.
As many of you may know, prairienet.org, the mainframe I do most of my
work on, while I actually sit here at my antique basement computer, in
large part due to upgrades and a rather prominent local fire, was down
for a significant part of the month, and is still not quite back to an
ordinary situation. . .at least compared to before our last Newsletter
. . .that went out the very hour Prairienet went down for the upgrade.
So, it is only by hook and by crook that we have been able to get done
with all the books, and get them posted on all the usual sites since I
could not do many of the things I have come to depend on. . .not to go
without mentioning the WONDERFUL cooperation from many volunteers, who
sent me files over and over again, helped me change them, etc. because
I couldn't do so in the normal ways. We have finally figured out some
ways that should make next month easier. . .which is good, since it is
going to be a much shorter month.
Many of the files were actually dated for tomorrow but we actually got
them online today, so I changed the date to today. . .even though some
of them may need some last minute touch-ups before this Newsletter can
be sent out, hopefully in less than 24 hours. Some of these actually,
and I can still hardly believe it myself, are for May, 2002.
I did manage to finally to catch up with ALL the emails, so if you see
no reply from a message, please resend. I have also caught up with an
enormous amount of snailmail, so you should have heard from me, unless
you sent me a disk. . .the program that allows me to send files to the
mainframe is still not up. . .but I have finally devised a work-around
by way of sending them to our site at North Carolina first.
As always, people did send me both email and snailmail with addresses,
sadly to say, that either weren't there, or that I could not read, and
some that just didn't work, even with the help of local postmasters.
I will list some of those below, and perhaps you will recognize that I
got your mail and am trying to respond.
Steve Stone <sstone@microsoft.com> said he was General Manager of some
eBook division of MicroSoft, and wanted to talk to me, and I have sent
some three replies by now, but I don't think they got there. . .please
. . .someone who emails MicroSoft regularly. . .see if you can get him
to email me at hart@pobox.com. . .and let me know.
and
We have a copyright clearance for Jeroen. . .but no email address. . .
at least not one that works. . . .
Please include your email address when you send us snailmail. . .!

Subject: Re: Spanish ebooks
I would like to translate the books on the PG to spanish. All of them or at
least the most part. To do that I would organize the workflow sending to the
translators the english books they choose of a list of preselected. Then I'd
receive the spanish version and check it. The more hands we put on the work,
the better.

Comments About Our Improved Files
We LOVE for people to proofread ALL our Etexts, and send us list of errors!!!
The easiest way to do proofreading for Project Gutenberg
is simply to read the file and make a list of the errors
you find, and then email them to me, with suggestions...
I would just cut and paste the old line, and then, right
below it, put in your suggestions for the new line. The
easy ways for me to spot the errors is if you put a ^ on
the next line under them, and/or just stop your lines of
correction at the word needing correction.
From: Michael Lynch <lynchm@johnmarshall.edu>
I have an interest in the works of Joseph Altsheler, an
author of adventure stories for boys whose works are all public domain.
I am particularly interested in the Young Trailer series (as was Saul
Bellow who refers to two of the characters, Henry Ware and Timendiquas
in The Adventures of Augie March). One title (Scouts of the Valley)
is already in Gutenberg. Several others are:
The Young Trailers
The Free Rangers
Forest Runners: A Story of the Great War Trail in Early Kentucky
The Keepers of the Trail
The Border Watch
I can't scan right now, but would be happy to proof read if anyone else can
find and scan the texts.

Notes from News Scan and Edupage
AMAZON TO CHARGE PUBLISHERS FOR ONLINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Amazon recently notified publishers that it will begin charging them as
much as $10,000 per title in exchange for a better chance of having their
books recommended on Amazon's e-mail promotions. Previously, the e-mail
recommendations were based solely on the judgment of Amazon book editors,
and Amazon says it will continue to recommend books through this process as
well, possibly confusing some customers about what are effectively paid
advertisements and what titles were selected purely on editorial merit.
Amazon says it will provide a link on its site that readers can click on to
find which titles were paid for. In addition to the new fee levied if
publishers' nominations are approved by Amazon editors, publishers will be
required to buy promotional ads on Amazon's pages, pushing the total
package to as high as $17,000. Amazon says it plans to reject any
recommendations it does not deem worthy of inclusion. Publishers warned
that Amazon's new policy could backfire: "If you don't distinguish between
editorial and advertorial you could lose credibility," said Laurence
Kirschbaum, CEO of Time Warner Trade Publishing. (Wall Street Journal 7 Feb

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT OKAYS PRIVATE COPYING OF DIGITAL WORKS
The European Parliament has issued a preliminary decision to extend, with
some limitations, the private copying permissible in the analog world to
digital media. New-media companies, consumer-electronics makers and
citizens' rights groups applauded the decision to reject all but 16 of a
record 197 proposed amendments to the EU's Copyright Directive, which faces
a full vote next week. Among the amendments approved was a provision
allowing copyright owners to employ technical protection measures, such as
encryption, to prevent their works from being pirated. Copies could,
however, be made "by a natural person for private use and for ends that are
neither directly nor indirectly commercial." Fair practice lobbyists said You have been reading excerpts from NewsScan Daily

E-MAIL WIRETAPS
The University of Denver-based Privacy Foundation has begun calling
attention to a new method of privacy invasion that allows someone to listen
in on e-mail discussions. It can be defeated by disabling the Java
programming language in Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Netscape 6
mail, and it doesn't affect people who use Eudora, America Online e-mail,
or Web-based e-mail programs such as Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. Microsoft says
the latest version of Outlook Express is not affected and Netscape says it
will soon release a software patch that will eliminate the problem.

XEROX ASSETS UP FOR SALE
Facing a debt of $16.4 billion ($2.7 billion due this year) and with only
$1.4 billion cash on hand, the Xerox Corporation has begun talking with
leveraged-buyout firms to explore the possibilities for selling off some if
not all of the company's assets. Industry analysts are skeptical of Xerox's
ability to find a buyer willing to assume a debt burden of such magnitude.

ACLU UPSET ABOUT HIGH-TECH SURVEILLANCE AT SUPER BOWL
The American Civil Liberties Union has written to Tampa, Florida's mayor
protesting the surveillance procedures used by Tampa's police department at
last week's Super Bowl football game. In attempt to identify any well-known
criminals or terrorists in the stadium, the police set up hidden video
cameras that took pictures of thousands of fans and transmitted the images
to computers at a central command post for comparison with file
photographs. In the letter, ACLU executive Howard Simon wrote: "The ACLU
believes this activity raises serious concerns about the Fourth Amendment
right of all citizens to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures,"
Simon wrote to Tampa Mayor Dick Greco. "Aside from the constitutional
issues raised by the developing use of surveillance technology, we believe
the public should be given an opportunity to ask -- and have answered --
the many questions raised by this practice." (USA Today 2 Feb 2001)

BELLSOUTH HANGS UP ON PAY PHONES
BellSouth has decided to try to sell its 143,000 pay phones, because their
usage has "decreased dramatically" due to the rapidly growing phenomenon of
wireless communications. It's unlikely that the company will get much money
for them, because they are dispersed over the entire region served by
BellSouth, rather than concentrated in high-volume locations, and because
industry analysts such as Jeff Kagan see their future extending for just a
few more years: "The future pay phone will have keyboards and touch screens
and will let people access their e-mail and voice mail boxes and access
other Web-based information. That will give the pay phone business a few
more years of viability, but ultimately, devices that make calls and send
e-mail will be cheap enough for everyone to carry one." (Atlanta

create valid HTML code from existing code that may be found at

FTC GETS COMPLAINTS ABOUT AMAZON.COM'S NEW PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy groups Junkbusters and the Electronic Privacy Information
Center (EPIC) are raising complaints about changes Amazon.com has
made to its consumer privacy policy and have asked the FTC to
investigate the matter. The policy changes allow Amazon.com to
share consumer data with third parties, according to the two
groups. Indeed, Amazon.com announced in August that it was
changing its policy so that it would have the option of selling
its customer data as assets if it ever went bankrupt. At the
time, Amazon.com also removed a feature from its Web site that
allowed customers to opt out of sharing their data with other
companies. Nonetheless, Amazon.com insists its privacy policy is
stronger than ever because the old policy permitted the company
to sell or rent personal data. "The privacy policy is absolutely
stronger now than it was before," said Amazon.com's Patty Smith.
Junkbusters and EPIC say that the FTC should force Amazon.com to
install technology that would give consumers the option of
removing their personal data from Amazon.com's site. The groups
are also calling for Amazon.com to tell customers what data is
being shared with other companies.

COMPUTER SECURITY EXPERTS QUESTION INTERNET WIRETAPS
The furor surrounding the FBI's Carnivore e-mail monitoring system
intensified after a high-profile group of computer security
experts released a report that raises new privacy and legal
questions about the Internet wiretapping system. The report also
concluded that a Justice Department-sponsored review of Carnivore
by the Illinois Institute of Technology's Research Institute was
limited in nature and "simply cannot support a conclusion that
Carnivore is correct, safe, or always consistent with legal
limitations." The group of security experts said that the Illinois
review failed to conduct a true search for programming flaws. The
Illinois review was also scrutinized by the Privacy Foundation,
which concluded that Carnivore has "technical deficiencies" that
must be addressed. The head of the Illinois review, Henry H.
Perritt Jr., agrees that Carnivore should be subjected to periodic
review and that wiretapping law must be updated to address digital
technologies.

COMMUNITY COLLEGES FIGHT TO USE '.EDU' INTERNET ADDRESSES
The government established rules that permit the .edu top level
domain to be used by "four-year, degree-granting colleges and
universities," thereby officially keeping community colleges out
of that domain. Wanting access to .edu domain names, the
American Association of Community Colleges has increased
pressure, writing letters to both the U.S. Department of Commerce
and Network Solutions (NSI). The Department of Commerce letter,
written by association President George R. Boggs, expressed
community colleges' frustration and recommended that management
of the .edu TLD be handled by EDUCAUSE. A new .edu administrator
is currently in the process of being chosen, and that
administrator will have close connections with the higher
education community and would be asked to "work with" colleges to
create .edu policies that are better for community colleges, says
the Commerce Department. Locating a new .edu administrator is a
top priority, and the decision should be made quickly, with the
administrator taking over the .edu domain by December 2001,
Commerce says.

TRYING TO MEET IT NEEDS
Schools that offer IT training are struggling to keep up with the
growing demand for their courses. Huge enrollments are forcing
schools to add more courses, hire more instructors, and seek
additional classroom space. In addition, many schools are
turning to online learning as a way of accommodating more
students without needing more physical classrooms. Northern
Virginia Community College's (NVCC) Loudon Campus says it
oversubscribed IT classes this year by assuming incorrectly that
the usual number of students would drop the courses. The college
now has large waiting lists for many IT courses, including its
Java certificate program and Java script classes. NVCC says the
online classes it began offering last year have helped meet
demand. Still, NVCC needs more classroom space, because its
current lab space is full every day until 10 p.m. Meanwhile, the
professional education program at George Mason University's
School of Information Technology and Engineering, which teaches
skills such as Java, Web development, and C++, is also expanding
rapidly. The school has grown from one instructor and six
courses two years ago to five instructors and 12 courses today
and is planning to expand even further.
(Potomac Tech Journal, 27 November 2000)
BOSTON UNIVERSITY LOOKS TO KNOWLEDGENET
Boston University's Corporate Education Center (BUCEC) partnered
with KnowledgeNet to provide online IT training for students.
With the demand for IT workers continuing to grow, BUCEC needed a
way to make classes more convenient for working adults. "We
recognize that for our clients, time is money so we needed a way
for them to learn on their own time, wherever they wanted,
whenever they wanted," says BUCEC director Andy Kelley. BUCEC
licensed KnowledgeNet Live, Interactive, and Express to provide
online solutions for its students in areas such as Cisco,
CompTIA, and Microsoft. Live offers synchronous online courses
led by an instructor, while Express plays back the synchronous
class. Interactive is an asynchronous online learning solution
that lets students learn at their own speed. Many universities
are partnering to provide IT training, says KnowledgeNet CEO Tom
Graunke. Universities want to prepare students for high-tech
careers, but often need a partner to provide content and skilled
instructors, Graunke says.

STUDENT AID ON THE WEB
Prospective college students can apply for federal financial aid
through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a
service of the Education Department. That application has been
online for four years now, and director of application processing
Jeanne Saunders says online usage has increased every year. The
department forecasts 10.2 million applicants this year, and
Saunders estimates that applicants will file 2 million online.
However, that prediction may be an underestimate, as 1.5 million
applications had been filed online as of August. Saunders says
the department was aware of the advantage to students and parents
that an online application would bring. FAFSA online illustrates
two aspects of e-government: it is a new avenue of service that
coincides with but does not eliminate the original, and it offers
electronic data continuously through a tie-in to the department's
mainframe. Hyperlinks on the site provide help to students, whose
time required to process applications has dropped thanks to the
online option.

From Newscan:
FBI SPLIT OVER E-MAIL SURVEILLANCE RULES
Law enforcement officials have long held that a 1986 law allowing police to
record phone numbers by someone tied to a criminal investigation permits
them to secretly copy e-mail addresses in messages sent to people involved
in criminal probes, but a newly disclosed e-mail message suggests there is
internal dissension over the legality of such "pen traps": "We have agents
that would like to use a pen for e-mail, but our [chief division counsel]
thinks that we can only use a pen to get the telephone number dialed by the
modem," one agent wrote in the Feb. 14 e-mail. "I don't think we in the
field have a grasp of how the existing telecommunications laws apply to
computer communications." Highlighting the depth of confusion over the
issue within law-enforcement circles, the agent noted that this legal
opinion came from the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center,
which includes the bureau's top computer-crime experts in Washington. The
uncertainty brings into question the legality of using Carnivore, the FBI's
e-mail "sniffing" software, which has been justified under the 1986 law
that covers any device that "records or decodes electronic or other
impulses, which identify the numbers dialed or otherwise transmitted" and
that is attached to a telephone line. "Carnivore is not attached to a
telephone line and does not obtain a number dialed," says Philip L. Gordon,
a lawyer with the Privacy Foundation, who notes that privacy protections
for e-mail addresses should be greater than those for phone numbers.
"They're clearly different." (Wall Street Journal 7 Dec 2000)

E-BOOKS -- A NEW LITERACY?
"E-books are not just another imprint," said McGraw-Hill VP Bob Bolic.
"They represent a new literacy." That comment came as e-books headlined the
opening of this year's BookTech West conference, where exhibitors showcased
their latest e-reading devices, as well as digital rights management and
e-commerce tools. While panel participants generally agreed that the key to
e-book success was universal standards and uniform business models, others
stressed the need for industry-wide cooperation. "If e-books take off, it
won't just be about the size of the screen or the clarity of type," said
Bolic. "It will be about publishers mastering the skills of versioning
(creating and managing different versions of the same document." (Wired.com

Y2K BUG BELATEDLY BEDEVILS NORWAY'S TRAINS
The Y2K glitch hit Norway's national railroad company a year later than
expected, when none of the company's 16 new airport express trains or 13
high-speed long-distance Signatur trains would start on the morning of Dec.
31. The company performed a quick work-around by resetting the computers to
Dec. 1, 2000, and the trains were able to start up on ignition. "We didn't
think of trying out the date 31/12/00," says a spokesman for Adtranz, the
German producer of the new trains. "Now we have one month to find out what
went wrong so we can fix the problem for good." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 1

From: Harvey Wheeler <verulan@mindspring.com>
We need someone to scan and proof these, and then Harvey
can do a major revision to correct many errors that are
in these paper editions.
1. Author: Bacon, Francis, 1561-1626
Uniform title: Novum organum
Title: Bacon's Novum organum / edited with introduction, notes,
etc. by Thomas Fowler.
Publisher: Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1878. 1889 2nd Ed is better!
Description: xvi, 619, 36, [6] p. ; 23 cm. see below
Series: Clarendon press series
Notes: Includes bibliographies: (p. 142-151).
Language: Latin
Subjects: Science--Methodology--Early works to 1800
Induction (Logic)--Early works to 1800
In 1889 Fowler published a 2nd edition of the Latin version of
Novum Organum.
(The date makes it easy to confuse this with the English translation
of the same date, as did the original librarian.)
The only difference is extended and revised notes by Fowler.
They are long and tedious but we've got to check them.
So if we get a volunteer for the Latin version,
this 2nd edition is the one to use.
2. Author: Bacon, Francis, 1561-1626
Title: Bacon's Novum organum; 2d ed.
Publisher: Oxford, The Clarendon press, 1889.
Description: xxii p., 1 l., 629 p. 23 cm.
Language: English
[We may have this one, so ask before you leap]
We have a leader, DAVID WIDGER <widger@cecomet.net>,
for our Twain Team, whose goal is The Complete Works.
David has put together a list of our current holdings
along with the plans to complete all the Twain books
he knows of within the next few months. If you would
like to help, please email him for the list, and also
please keep an eye out for letters, essays, and other
Twain materials that might not be on our list.
We would also VERY much like to form such Teams for a
number of our other authors to do their Complete Works.
Our collection of Robert Louis Stevenson has been listed
in at least one place as the very best in the world!
We would love to work at the same level on YOUR favorite author!

Notes from News Scan and Edupage
GLOBAL CHIP SALES HEADED FOR RECORD $200-BILLION
Global chip sales grew 40% in October and are on their way to a record $200
billion for 2000, according to a report by the Semiconductor Industry
Association. The SIA's monthly Global Sales Report tallied October sales at
$18.6 billion, up from $13.4 billion for the same period last year, with
demand driven by consumer electronics, and wired and wireless
communications markets in addition to the PC sector. The largest growth was
in Japan, which increased 47%, followed by the Americas with 41%, the
Asia/Pacific market at 35%, and Europe increasing 33%. This year's glowing
report has a downside, however -- analysts predict that future growth in
chip sales will be more moderate as it will be difficult to significantly
exceed this year's robust sales activity. (Financial Times 5 Dec 2000)

possible cost to the people of the United States and ultimately the
entire world.
We are looking for a part time administrative assistant to provide
general support assistance to trustees, key employees and major
volunteers. Duties are likely to include compilation, drafting and

people, and basic research needed to find the information to carry out
these duties.
Qualifications: Strong self motivational, organizational,
coordination, analytical and people skills, excellent written and oral
communication skills; ability to work with limited supervision;
ability to learn quickly primarily from documentation; an interest in
the workings of non-profit organizations, comfortable working
knowledge of software (ability to use software to construct and

HTML, and other document formats commonly found on the Internet);
ability to coordinate the work of volunteers; ability to work with
people over distances using Internet, fax and phone; willingness to
learn about non-profit law and help implement procedures to enable
volunteers and employees to comply with those laws, and commitment to
the mission of Project Gutenberg.
If interested contact Mary Brandt Jensen, Trustee, at
mjensen@watervalley.net. No specific form of application is requested
as we would like to see examples of your judgment, writing style, and
ability to work primarily from self-direction with limited
supervision. Tell us what you think we need to know. Ask us what you
need to know.
Calling Macintosh users
There's a move afoot to lighten the load on Professor Hart.
It falls to Professor Hart to do the necessary hand-holding when
texts are prepared by Mac-users who haven't much experience of
cross-platform procedures. We're working on the idea of putting
together a "Mac-users' package", a collection of recommendations
to help Mac-users.
We've identified several useful applications and we've drafted
suggestions for using the relevant features of each application.
Now we want to find out whether there are other goodies worth
recommending, and test whether the suggestions really work.
We won't be doing anything more until after Christmas, but we're
taking the opportunity to get this item into the newsletter.
If you are a Mac-using Gutenberger, and if you'd be willing to
help a little, please email us. Please let us know which
categories below you fall into.
1. Experienced Mac-using Gutenbergers who know what procedures
are successful for preparing and transmitting files for Project
Gutenberg. We'll be starting by asking whether you encode the files
that you upload to the Project Gutenberg server, or the files that
you send to Professor Hart.
2. Any Mac-using Gutenbergers who would be willing to apply one
process to a standard test file and forward it to Professor Hart for
assessment, or who would be willing to test detailed suggestions for
using a particular program or procedure .
If you can help, please contact Adrienne Forbes at:
<dandaforbes@netmatters.co.uk>.

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A TERABYTE!!!
. . .and a gigabyte of RAM and a gigahertz of CPU chip. . .
AND ALL FOR UNDER $10,000
ANNOUNCING THE TGG SPECIFICATION FOR TERABYTE COMPUTERS
These specifications are to provide a continuous scale
for measuring system performance in the new millennium.
As you know, it specs get pretty ridiculous after just
a few iterations of Moore's Law. . .every PC sold this
year will have Norton's SI ratings in the hundreds, or
even thousands, and gigahertz Landmark Speed ratings--
ratings which are far beyond the measurements programs
like this were originally meant to make. . . .
So, we are proud to announce a specification that will
ride the tides of time, giving the current prices such
systems should cost at any given date, along with what
current performance should be expected from that price
point in the future.
For example:
The 1.0 TGG rating is given to this kind of system:
Date: January 1, 2000
Cost: $10,000
Disk: 1.0 Terabytes
RAM: 1.0 Gigabytes
CPU: 1.0 Gigahertz
In 18 months this system as it is listed would have
fallen to a rating of .5, since the cost would be
twice as much as it then should be.
To maintain the 1.0 TGG rating after one period of the
Moore's Law [18 months] the system would have to be:
Date: July 1, 2001
Cost: $5,000
Disk: 1.0 Terabytes
RAM: 1.0 Gigabytes
CPU: 1.0 Gigahertz
or you would have to get more disk, RAM and CPU to multiply
to 2.0, if the system were still costing $10,000, such as:
Date: July 1, 2001
Cost: $10,000
Disk: 1.26 Terabytes
RAM: 1.26 Gigabytes
CPU: 1.26 Gigahertz
which would yield a TGG rating of 2.0 on January 1, 2000,
but would have dropped to a rating of 1.0 on July 1, 2001
One more iteration should get the point across:
Date: January 1, 2003
Cost: $2,500
Disk: 1.0 Terabytes
RAM: 1.0 Gigabytes
CPU: 1.0 Gigahertz
or
Date: January 1, 2003
Cost: $10,000
Disk: 1.6 Terabytes
RAM: 1.6 Gigabytes
CPU: 1.6 Gigahertz
which would yield a TGG rating of 4.0 on January 1, 2000,
but would have dropped to a rating of 1.0 on January 1, 2003
We will work up a table for the first 10 iterations.
The Pentium 4 will run at these speeds, and I should have
one this week, but not the one you should buy, this one
takes BusRAM, which is FAR too expensive. Do any of you
know where I can get some at reasonable prices???!!!???!!!
We are using the initials TGG for this rating system,
which currently have the following two expansions:
The Terabyte Gigabyte Gigahertz Rating System
The Gutenberg Goal Rating System

My personal observations of the current state of the computer revolution:
I have reported every year on how saturated the US and the world are with
computers and with Internet accounts and yet people still find it strange
that we have passed the midpoint in computer saturation in the US, and in
US Internet accounts.
In one month it is likely that there will be twice as many US households
WITH computers as WITHOUT, it is possible this is already true given the
delays in this information reaching the public.
If we divide the US into Early, Middle, and Late households, then we are
now in the process of getting those "Late Adopters" into computers if we
divide the households into equal thirds, which most statisticians refuse
to do, as it would lessen the mystification powers of their statistics.
In the same vein, if we divide US Internet accounts into Early and Late,
we are now filling in the Late Adopters, as there are now 135 million of
these Internet accounts in the US alone, which is about half the numbers
indicated by preliminary reports of the 2000 census.
So in response to those I hear touting themselves as "Internet Pioneers"
as these have only recently announced their new presence on the Internet
. . .I can only say that with half the country there ahead of you, it is
just not possible for you to be in the first half any more. . . .
I won't go into this further other than to say that there have been some
interesting conversations on some listservers in response to some of the
newbies touting themselves as Internet Pioneers. . .and we muleskinners,
such as we are, have decided to light a fire and brand them as settlers.
hee hee
Now for the hard part. . . . As I predicted last year, there was a nice
big shakeout of many of these dotcom Internet Pioneers this year as only
could have been predicted by the fact that you just can't sell the large
number of computers to an audience that is 2/3 saturated as you can to a
similar audience that is 1/3 saturated. . .we have passed the midzone of
the "S" curve. . .and we will never pass that way again.
So, of course those who didn't really know what they were doing dropping
out of the telegenepool is the most obvious thing to happen.
However, this only means that the strongest have survived, and you don't
need to worry as much about them dropping out next year. . . .
Of course, some of us may not agree that the megazilliondollar takeovers
are the best way to "settle" cyberspace. . .and we are fighting back.

*Announcing Project Gutenberg Etext #3000, Proust in French*
************************************************************
Why Should *YOU* Support Project Gutenberg?
Because The Work of Project Gutenberg is:
1. Permanent
2. Free
3. Available
4. Useful
5. Enlightening
6. Growing
and, best of all
7. Yours!
First a few lines of comment on each of these topics,
then a more detailed explanation.
1. Permanent
Unlike the usual character of the Internet and the World Wide Web,
television and radio, or most other modern media production outlets,
Project Gutenberg is a landmark. . .a permanent feature of the Net
. . .since before anyone had coined the term "Internet". . .since
before the World Wide Web. . .and we are now supported by a Trust/
Foundation which will hopefully help continue the existence of PG
for more decades, or even centuries into the future.
2. Free
There are no hidden costs to use Project Gutenberg, no hardware
or software requirements. . .nearly every computer comes with a
variety of ways to receive, save, read and search our Etexts.
3. Available
There are mirror sites wide varieties of regions, including
every continent in the world, even Antarctica. . .to insure
everyone has easy access. Within the last month or two, new
sites have been announced in Greece, Bulgaria, and Hungary.
Contrary to the policies of most Etext operations, Project
Gutenberg encourages EVERYONE to download our Etexts and to
make them available to the public at large. . .worldwide,
with only a few words of warning not to violate local laws
concerning various copyrighted or trademarked materials we
include in our collection.
4. Useful
Students and scholars all over the world use Project Gutenberg
Etexts to search, research, and just plain read for fun. As a
wider variety of screens become available, with an increasing
number of colors, more and more people are reading full books
on their computers, laptops, and palmtops. In addition, Project
Gutenberg Etexts are wonderfully flexible for visually impaired
readers, and are easily readable by the text-to-speech software
used by many who cannot read at all. More and more libraries
are now including Project Gutenberg Etexts in their collections.
5. Enlightening
We are making a great effort to include every language we can
in our collection, and are hoping to include the classis books
from every culture within each language. Project Gutenberg is
hoping to indeed be "A Window On The World." We are hoping to
add a new language every month or two in 2001, please made sure
we have something in YOUR language[s].
6. Growing
Project Gutenberg is now producing 50 Etexts/month, 600/year. . .
It was only 5 years ago that we managed our first 100 Etext year,
and in a few years, with your support, we hope to do 1,000 Etexts
in a calendar year.
We used to talk about Project Gutenberg as a kind of "book of the
month" production system. . .but now you would have to buy whole
new bookshelves each and every month to hold them all the paper
editions we present. . .or just add one new CDROM. . .hee hee!!!
7. Yours
These books are yours, permanently. . . .
When you get a Project Gutenberg Etext, you have not checked it out,
licenced it, rented it, borrowed it, or any other temporary idiom.
You can quote them in any way you like, school papers, research,
books YOU may write. . .without limitation, other than on the 1%
of the that are copyrighted works.
These books are YOURS. . .as many copies as you want. . .any time you
want. . .any place you want. . .and they don't take up any space. . .
it's *literally* any *place* you want.
As a volunteer, these books are even more intimately yours, as we try
very hard to encourage our volunteers to do their own favorite books,
in their own languages, in their own good time. . .we don't put anyone
on a schedule. . . .
Here are the details. . . .
1. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Permanent.
The major difference between the products of Project Gutenberg
and those of other non-profit organizations such as PBS, NPR, etc.,
is that even now it it's 30th year, our original Etext of the U. S.
Declaration of Independence is downloaded by more people every year
than in any previous year of the history of the Internet. When you
support Project Gutenberg, your support is seen permanently. It is
not like a museum or library, you won't come for a visit and NOT see
your effect right there for everyone to see and have. . . .
You won't find PBS showing all their shows from 30 years ago. . .
but the Project Gutenberg Etexts are there forever. We update format
types from time to time, and correct errors, but when your family
reads Alice in Wonderland now, we want you to know you will be able
to find it again generations down the road. We already have people
getting married and starting families of their own, who read Alice
from Project Gutenberg when they weren't even teenagers yet. . . .
This is quite different from the way most Internet sites exist as a
day to day phenomenon, whereas we are planning on Project Gutenberg
Etexts being available as long as there IS an Internet.
When you buy CDROMs of most Etexts you get something that requires a
certain operating system, and even a certain version of it, usually
one that that will be incompatible with the next version or the one
after that. . .and then you have to go out and buy another version.
That's where the big difference lies between Project Gutenberg Etext
and nearly every other kind you can get. . .you can still copy books
from Project Gutenberg onto your floppies, carry them to nearly any
computer, and read them with mininal effort, no installation needed.
2. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Free.
Because no installation is needed, these Etexts ARE free. . .there is
no particular brand of hardware or software you need to buy to read a
Project Gutenberg Etext. . .you don't even have to download a browser
. . .whether it is free or not. . . . Virtually every computer there
is in the world can read these Etexts just the way it comes, and that
is the point of our existence. . . .
We want EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, EVERYWHEN to have free access to such a
library of classics in EVERY LANGUAGE.
Thousands of Project Gutenberg Etexts are available, and no one is ever
charged a penny by Project Gutenberg for them. All the Etexts are done
by volunteers. All the sites are run by volunteers.
3. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Available.
The Project Gutenberg Etexts are available from servers on all continents.
We are continually expanding the number of servers, and evenutally hope to
have servers not just on every continent, but in every region, and then in
every country. We are now working on sites in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria,
and several others. With 3 billion computers already around the world,
and used ones available at garage sales for $5, pretty much anyone who
really wants to read Etexts and has electricity can do it. I should add
that we are aware that 60% of the world's population has never made a
phone call. . .which is one reason we promote the giving away of our
Etexts on disks. . .we were receiving letters from around the world
from people who had received our Etexts on disk years before the Internet
actually circled the globe.
Our Etexts are actually available for download from several satellites.
4. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Useful.
Looking up something in any of our books takes less time that it would to
walk over to your own bookcase and find it in your own book. Quoting the
material is even faster. The Complete Works of Shakespeare could be used
for a search that would take literally seconds. We also have very complete
editions of Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson, so complete that
they have been listed in library journals as the most complete available
to the public in the entire world. [I don't know if there are privately
owned collections that have more. But the whole point is that anyone can
add our entire collection to theirs with no effort.]
We make our Etexts available in plain formats that virtually all programs
can read, quote, edit, search, etc. Thus our readers use a wider variety
of computers and programs, at their own discretion, and budget, to read a
wide variety of Etexts. This is a very important aspect of our work. . .
to make Etext available to everyone. . .and to let them read it in their
own favorite programs, in their own favorite fonts, to search with their
own favorite search engines, and to copy anywhere, any time.
5. The Work of Project Gutenberg is Englightening.
My hope is that the work of Project Gutenberg will finally allow access
to the information and literature of the entire world to the entire world.
"Of The People, By The People, For The People". . .says it pretty well.
Hopefully you will include yourself as one of "These People."
6. Project Gutenberg Is Growing
We are officially producing 50 Etexts per month at this time,
and unofficially we are producing even more. Last year we averaged
about 75 per month for the second half of the year, and we are doing
the same this year. At this rate, we will soon cross the boundary
of 1,000 Etexts produced in a single year.
Not only is Project Gutenberg growing, but our audience is growing
as well, and even more quickly. Our Sites Coordinator just told me
that half the people reading our books are new over the past 18 months.
This is not uncommon among brand new enterprises, but when you realize
this is our 30th year, such growth is truly. . .no hyperbole. . . . .
PHENOMENAL!
Here is a brief history of our growth rate:
We should reach approximately 3,000 Etexts by the official end of 2001,
but since we are about a year ahead of schedule, this will likely take
place in the next few months. [hee hee, when I started writing this a
month ago, I had no idea I might be announcing #3000 in THIS message!!!]
Here is how we got there:
1 per year in 1971-1979 completed our first 9 Etexts
which were mostly a "History of Western Democracy"
From 1980-1990 we completed our first Bible and Shakepeare,
but due to the new copyright extensions, the Shakespeare is
still not able to be released. Thus our total was 10 Etexts.
[We counted Shakespeare and The Bible as 1 Etext each.]
1 per month in 1991
2 per month in 1992
4 per month in 1993
8 per month in 1994 We reached a total of 100 Etexts
16 per month in 1995
32 per month in 1996
32 per month in 1997 We reached a total of 1,000 Etexts
36 per month in 1998
36 per month in 1999 We reached a total of 2,000 Etexts
36 per month in 2000
40 per month in 2001 for the first half of the year
then
50 per month in 2001 for the second half of the year
We will end the "Official Year of 2001" with 3,000 Etexts!!!
[Now that we can officially say we have "thousands" of these
Etexts online, we should prepare to create an institution of
support for Project Gutenberg that will hopefully carry this
project into, and at least part of the way through, the next
millennium. . .your help could be invaluable. . .more below]
We Have Made It Much Easier To Volunteer, see promo.net/pg!!
[There is a brand new set of web pages for our volunteers so
please help us with any suggestions and/or corrections, your
help in making this page serve our volunteers is appreciated
more than you might imagine. . .this page could become a big
foundation for our future volunteers; we are ALL volunteers]
***
Have We Given Away A Trillion Dollars Worth Of Etext Yet??!!
Yes, if we manage to get the average one of our 3,000 Etexts
to 1.67% of the world's population, using a nominal value of
$3.33 as a street value of the average one of our books: as
our population has passed 6 billion around the official date
of release of our Etext #2000. In fact, we are ~all the way
from using the $5 nominal value, thru the $4 value, that was
the result of our posting Etext #2500. . .but then it may be
a while to get to the $3 mark at Etext #3333, as it takes an
ever increasing number to bring the cost down another dollar
. . .this time it will take 833 more Etexts. . .last time it
only took 500 more. . .next time it will take 1666 to get it
from $3 to $2. . .and then 5000 more to get nominal price of
a book down to $1 and still give away $1 trillion in Etexts.
OK. . .enough math. . .!!!
;-)
***
The major purpose of Project Gutenberg is to encourage great
and small efforts towards the creation and distribution of a
library of Etexts for unlimited distribution worldwide. Our
goal is to encourage the creation and distribution of 10,000
Etexts by the end of 2001. . .
This is a goal we may have already accomplished, though many
of the 10,000 files are still very much Limited Distribution
items, and we are working to get them posted in more places,
on more sites, for greater and greater public access. These
will hopefully all be posted on Project Gutenberg sites some
time in the not too distant future, we are dicsussing this a
lot with the other Etext makers. Creating a liaison between
all the Etexts makers is one of our major goals right now.
***
If we are going to continue on past our first goal of 10,000 Etexts,
we are going to need some Big Time public relations help, and some
Big Time fundraising. . .here's why. . . .
1. Getting the Etexts to twice as many people is just as important
as creating twice as many Etexts. . .but without MAJOR publicity it
is not likely to happen. . .we constantly get messages from readers
who tell us they have been LOOKING for Etexts for years and just at
that present time FINALLY FOUND US. . . . That means we cannot get
to a major part of our audience with the kind of publicity we have,
we need something more. . . . For example, we were the first in an
entirely new column: "People To Watch" in the November 8th edition
of TIME magazine, but we have received less than a dozen emails per
that article. . .what we really need to do is get on Oprah Winfrey,
and hopefully add something to her book club. Those of you on AOL,
perhaps you could email the show and request they invite us. . . !
We should undoubtedly also try the other talk shows, and "magazine"
shows, etc. All the press we receive is from them contacting us, I
have had no luck "generating" publicity. . .which seems to be easy,
for those who have the knack. . .it's just not MY knack. . .help!!!
2. Running group of 1,500 volunteers to generate 10,000 Etexts has
been something that IS a knack I have. . .and it hasn't cost a very
large amount of money to do it. . .otherwise you wouldn't know that
we exist. . .but running a group of 10,000 volunteers to create the
1,000,000 Etext that are possible in the NEXT 10 years, is NOT easy
. . .even for someone such as myself. . .it will require more phone
lines and calls than I can afford. . .and more email than I can do,
on my own, so we either need volunteers to help coordinate, or, the
possibility looms that we should actually HIRE people. . . .
When I first started Project Gutenberg in 1971, I was sure I should
be able to find someone else to replace me, as it did not cost real
money or take real time to run. . .but for the last 10 years it has
taken just about all the time I have, including what I would need a
lot more of to have a personal life. . .and I would LIKE to have an
expectation that Project Gutenberg would survive at least 10 years,
after I am gone, and hopefully 100, and if I really dream, 1,000!!!
So. . .if you are willing and able to help us with these or in some
related manner, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. . . .

[Those with an * are still in need of work]
1.
Copyright
Project Gutenberg will do copyright research for you if you send us
xeroxes of the title page [both sides, even if one side is blank.]
We need people to hunt through libraries or bookstores for editions
that we can use to legally prepare our Electronic Texts [Etexts.]
Germany, Italy and Great Britain have each extended their copyright
to "life + 70 years," as opposed to the "life +50 years" of "Berne"
copyright conventions. Residents of those areas will have to be an
extra bit careful, as a million items that used to be Public Domain
in those countries reverted to copyright status, even though a vast
majority of them are no longer for sale. This is now true for some
other countries, including France and perhaps Brazil and Portugal.
More on the United States Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 in a
"More Detailed Information" section below.
2.
Scanning and Typing
Once we have located some proper edition[s], then our volunteers do
the books by scanning or typing them into the computer. Usually it
is the same person who does the proofreading, but not necessarily.
If you have a scanner, or have access to one, or plan to get one in
the future, please contact our Director of Production, Dianne Bean,
beandp@primenet.com, with a cc: to me at hart@pobox.com
2.
Proofreading
Often the only way for many of our volunteers to work on Etexts for
us is if they can ship their book to one of you, have it scanned in
and then returned to them for proofreading.
If you could do the scanning for them, it would help us immensely.
4.
FTP and WWW Sites
We would very much like to provide better access to Etext for sites
in Africa and South America, and other locales. If you know anyone
who might be able to help with this, please read this:
We are always in search of more FTP and World Wide Web sites, so an
increasing number of people can download our books without unusual,
even often fatal, delays and glitches in transmission.
If you, or someone you know, can spare a gigabyte on their servers,
please have them contact us about creating more mirror sites. This
is a particular need for countries south of the equator, where text
files are only available on one server that we know of. If you can
help us get our books into South America, Africa, and further, this
would be a great help. We have something restarted in New Zealand,
with extensions into Australia, but the load this server can handle
is probably going to be easily exhausted.
5.
Donations
Project Gutenberg is almost completely dependent on your donations.
Presently, contributions are only being solicited from people in:
Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota,
Iowa, Indiana, and Vermont. As the requirements for other states
are met, additions to this list will be made and fund raising will
begin in the additional states. These donations should be made to
the "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation" and mailed to:
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
PMB 113
1739 University Ave.
Oxford, MS 38655-4109
Anything you can do in this are would be greatly appreciated, even,
since we are at this juncture, helping us get more Public Relations
coverage of our 3,000th Etext.
Project Gutenberg sites up updated more than once a day on average,
since we are presenting 600 Etexts per year, and plan to move to at
least 1,000 year after 2002.
As I said, anything would be greatly appreciated. This SHOULD BE a
great time to get some PR. . .but it still appears, even though the
project has been written up probably about 200 times, that they are
going to write us up when THEY have a reason to rather than when WE
have a reason, and we feel it is now time to try to break out of an
entirely too limiting niche in the computer oriented media, and get
some more general publicity out there to the millions of people who
aren't computer oriented at all, but will would like to receive the
Etexts for education or entertainment. This is a majority of world
population centers, and we should do more to reach them.
If you have any "ins" in the press or with the corporate world, this
would be a good time to use them.
6.
Raiders of the Lost Archives
As you may be aware from several events of a month ago, and earlier,
there is a downside to having Etext archives in limited distribution
modalities, simply because if one site, or one person, or even whole
countries, change their minds about what they are going to archive--
then the whole world loses access to those files.
A good example was the loss of The Oxford Book of English Verse from
Project Bartleby. We have taken great pains to get this book, which
is undoubtedly important, back on the Net. If you want to see which
sites have lost this file, just do a Yahoo search for the book, then
count the vast number of sites that have blank entries for the book,
once it was deleted from a multiplicity of links; this is an example
of how important it is for Etexts to be posted on many sites, rather
than just one site will many links to it!!!
We need volunteers who will search the world for every possible book
and help us preserve it.
Project Gutenberg will not release any of this material until we can
do the copyright research and prove it belongs in the Public Domain.
We realize that many of our volunteers sometimes get frustrated that
we do this research, which possibly takes half our time, but it will
become more and more apparent why this is a good policy as copyright
laws become stiffer and stiffer, and world intellectual property can
be limited in greater and great ways. It is quite likely that it is
going to be some time in the next calendar year that a United States
law killing off another 20 years of public domain in the US will get
passed, to join the countries listed above, in eliminating a million
books from potentially being posted as Etexts, even though 99% are a
dead issue, out of print for decades. . . .
7.
Special Requests
We occasionally receive scanned material which could have benefitted from
more cleanup before it was sent to us. What we need is proofers with
patience to read through an etext and take out stray letters, clean up the
punctuation, and send a list of questionable lines to the person who
scanned it so they can send corrections to be inserted. This usually takes
a couple of weeks, and is a good short-term project for folks who want to
get their feet wet with Project Gutenberg. Dianne Bean <beandp@primenet.com>
8.
Programming
Due to the various formats in which we receive many of our Etexts,
we need some assistance in writing PERL scripts, vi scripts, or an
assortment of other scripts that will assist our proofreaders, and
our editors, in dealing with page numbers, markups, italics and an
assortment of other formatting issue that come up time to time.
Most of these are fairly trivial and can be solved with a one line
script for each of the particular situations and we just need some
people to either run the scripts we already have, or to write some
new ones from time to time when a particularly rough Etext version
arrives at our doorstep. These scripts, which take minutes to set
up, and seconds to run, can save HOURS of proofreaders' time. You
can be a BIG help just running some of these scripts for us, or in
writing or rewriting some of them on occasion.

Copyright
Copyright Extension Is Also Happening in the United States
Since Project Gutenberg began in 1971, millions of copyrights in
the US should have expired, but are being prevented from expiring
by various political action groups.
2.
Scanning and Typing
We don't really want to get into a public recommendation about what
scanners and OCR [Optical Character Recognition] programs word best
. . .it is really the case that some do better on some books, while
other do better on others.
However, we ARE willing to share our experience if you ask.
3.
Proofreading
Our official accuracy level that we try to maintain has been 99.9%,
for our first release, which is usually raised to 99.95% before the
vast majority of people ever see them, and this standard has been a
standard that has been adopted by most Etext providers, including a
new effort toward Etext by the Library of Congress and the national
libraries of Great Britain and other countries.
What we hope you realize is that any serious effort to get an Etext
to 100% accuracy should take MORE effort than to create an entirely
new Etext with an accuracy level of 99.9% to 99.95%.
While many, even most, of the Project Gutenberg Etexts are accurate
to an amazing degree, even more amazing when you compare then to an
entire world of Etexts prepared by both the scholarly or commercial
Etext enterprises, we do not feel that the additional doubling of a
more than massive effort, to possibly reduce the errors, by another
.02% perhaps, would have anywhere near the value of the preparation
of an entirely new Etext with the same amount of effort.
Nevertheless, even the most famous universities of the world have a
collection of Etexts, many of which have vastly more errors that in
our collection. This is also true of the commercial Etexts. Don't
be afraid that your efforts won't be as good as all the others, the
process of improving Project Gutenberg Etexts is never ending.
In addition, there are many volunteers who would prefer to have an
Etext or at least an author selected for them to work on. As some
of you already know, _I_ have been reluctant to choose for anyone,
not wanting to bias the formation of our collection with my choice
of what are the great books of human history.
I have promised to do several things once we reached Etext #2,000,
one of which is to provide more guidance to those who seek it, and
that guidance will be coming from Dianne Bean, true librarian, who
is also working on the cataloguing project I also promised will be
forthcoming once we reach Etext #2,000.
More on:
Proofreading: We could also use people who know how to use DIFF or
similar programs that point out differences between two files, even
programmers that might only be able to search our files for matched
and unmatched quotes. [Remember that when quoting many paragraphs,
each internal paragraph gets only an opening quote.]
Our proofreading is a never-ending story. . .we run spell-checkers,
and other varieties of programs, on our Etexts, and have real human
proofreaders go over them in pretty incredible detail, but we would
be remiss if we did not tell you that over 99% of the books we work
from have their own errors, and that while we catch some of those--
we undoubtedly introduce errors of our own, and even though we will
gladly keep updating our editions, ad infinitum, the odds that this
will catch ALL the errors in the near future are virtually 0%.
Therefore. . .we need you to email us when you have suggestion, and
comments, and when you find possible errors that need correction.
4.
FTP and WWW Sites
We are willing to adjust the bandwidth on various sites by adjusting
the publicity various sites receive, and also by asking our users to
only use certain sites at certain times of the day or night. So the
drain on sites volunteering to mirror Etexts should not suffer any.
5.
Donations
We have never received any local, regional or national grants; your
donations, and the support of people I would hope to count as my
friends are the backbone of our support.
We could barely survive otherwise.
6.
Raiders of the Lost Archives [This needs a rewrite]
This is going to be particularly evident if the raggedy performances
that are destroying 99% of the Public Domain continue by raiding the
Public Domain, taking a million works out of the Public Domain, over
a period of 20 years, and putting perhaps 1% of 1% of them back in a
print version so that those who owned the copyrights for the past 75
years and made millions from them, can make another million per year
while 99.99% of those works disappear from public access altogether.

And now here are the listings of our most recent Etexts, an extra month,
just for those of you who have read this far. . .we hope you enjoy them.

Subject: Project Gutenberg October Newsletter

To: "Project Gutenberg mailing list" <gutnberg@listserv.unc.edu>
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 16:29:56 -0500 (CDT)
This is Project Gutenberg's Newsletter for Wednesday, October 4, 2000
Etexts Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since Before The Internet
[Usually sent the first Wednesday of each month, delayed if by relay.]
Main URL is promo.net Webmaster is Pietro di Miceli, of Rome, Italy
*Check out our Websites at promo.net, and ask me for our FTP servers.*
*****WE ARE HOPING TO POST ETEXT #3000 BY NEXT MONTH'S NEWSLETTER*****
For "instant" access to our new Etexts you can surf to:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext01
or
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext01
You will need the first five letters of the filenames listed below.
With 2940 eTexts online it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers
gaining a nominal value of $3.40 from each book, for Project Gutenberg
to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
This "cost" is down from $3.48 when we had 2870 Etexts on September 3
This "cost" is down from $3.55 when we had 2820 Etexts on August 16
This "cost" is down from $3.60 when we had 2775 Etexts on August 2
This "cost" is down from $3.70 when we had 2650 Etexts in July
This "cost" is down from $3.77 when we had 2650 Etexts in June
This "cost" is down from $3.92 when we had 2550 Etexts in May
This "cost" is down from $4.00 when we had 2500 Etexts in April
Can you imagine each one of thousands of books reduced by 60 cents???
Just from one spring to the next fall???
***
I am sticking my neck out a little here, and setting the bar for
December at 60 Etexts, instead of our official 50. . .so we will
be able to get to #3000 by the end of the year 2000. . . .
So, if you have an Etext in mind to do, NOW would be a great time
to get rolling on it.
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation finally got a
few donations in the mail. . .so things are in place and working.
Presently, contributions are only being solicited from people in:
Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota,
Iowa, Indiana, and Vermont. As the requirements for other states
are met, additions to this list will be made and fund raising will
begin in the additional states. These donations should be made to
the "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation" and mailed to:

VOLUNTEER SOUGHT (3-5 hours):
We need to update our list of active FTP mirror sites.
The task is to visit all the sites listed at
http://promo.net/pg/list.html
and determine (a) whether the mirror is currently updated;
(b) an email contact for the site, if available;
and (c) an http:// Web address for the FTP site, if available.
If you have a few hours to spend on this, and understand
approximately what the tasks involve, please contact our
FTP director, Greg Newby: gbnewby@ils.unc.edu
New Distributed Typing and Proofing Site
Charles Franks <Charlz@lvcablemodem.com> has set up an experimental
distributed proofing site at http://charlz.dynip.com/gutenberg
In this site, you can view a page of a book to be produced, and
type in the text, or correct the OCRed version that may be
available, online. We're kicking off with a difficult scan of
Pope's translation of The Odyssey.

And finally, I, personally, still need some mono-graphics cards.
These are usually Hercules clones. . .something on a very small
card that does graphics on genuine IBM monochrome screens, often
with markings such as MGA or MGP [for Mono-Graphics-Adaptor] or
[for Mono-Graphics Parallel]. . . . Any small mono card should
do. . .but the full length ones are usually only for VERY! slow
bus speeds. Thanks so much. . .I am down to my last one, and I
depend on them. . .it's the only way I can sit in front of this
screen for so many hours. . . .
Comments About Our New Files
As requested, we have a placed all the Dumas Celebrate Crimes
in one large file for easier searching.
We have posted our second Etext in Bulgarian.
This month we have a large number of works by Thomas Huxley--
and a few notes about his illustrious progeny.
We have completed the John Galsworthy collection we reserved
space for a few months ago.
We have a couple more Etexts in German.
And a few more by Kipling and Twain.
Comments About Our Improved Files
When we make corrections that only involve a dozen or less changes,
we usually don't release an entirely new version number. . .in this
case there were several times I made less than a dozen corrections
to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but the sum total of these is
two or three dozen, so you may want to download this one again even
though it has the same file number. If I had made them all at once
I would have started at new version number, but they all came in at
different times and very recently, so I was somewhat under the gun.

Notes from News Scan
50 MILLION ADULTS AT RISK FOR 'NET ILLITERACY'
As many as 50 million U.S. adults are at risk for becoming functionally
illiterate in the coming years because they're technologically deprived,
according to a Gartner Group study. "The Internet will soon be so pervasive
that not having access to the technology or not knowing how to use it will
be the equivalent of not knowing how to read or write," says Gartner CEO
Michael Fleisher. The report confirms the existence of a "digital divide"
that denies 65% of "lower socioeconomic-status" Americans access to the
Internet, compared with only 17% in the top income bracket. But beyond
simple access, a second "experience gap" separates people knowledgeable
enough to tap the benefits of the Internet from those who are not.
Meanwhile, a third divide is developing between those with high-speed,
broadband access and those stuck with straight dialup accounts. "As
broadband access reaches higher penetration rates, we can expect to see a
gap in broadband adoption that mirrors today's gaps in (personal computer)
ownership. This will be the equivalent of having the moderate and upper
classes in IMAX theaters while the underprivileged are still watching
silent movies," says Fleisher. (Reuters/MSNBC 2 Oct 2000)

SONY'S NEW "AIRBOARD" FOR TV, WEB, AND E-MAIL
Sony, the company that created the Walkman personal stereo, has developed a
slim, light-weight, 10.4-inch device called the Airboard that comes with a
base station and that will allow to watch TV, send e-mail, and surf the Web
from your home or yard. A touch pad on the screen takes the place of a
keyboard. Sony executive Shizuo Takashino says, "There has been nothing
like this in the world," Without using a PC, users can access information
from anywhere, effectively solving the so-called digital-divide problem.'

SENATE HIKES VISAS FOR HIGH-TECH WORKERS
The Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of raising the limit on H1B visas,
which enable highly skilled foreigners to enter the U.S. for work. The 96-1
vote was hailed as a victory for the high-tech industry, which has argued
it needs the extra workers to fill some 300,000 jobs now going begging for
lack of skilled applicants. The legislation, which raised the ceiling to
195,000 visas per year for the next three years, now faces a vote in the
House before it goes to President Clinton for signing. (Financial Times 4

TOSHIBA OFFERS A BETTER QUALITY E-READ
Toshiba is hoping to clarify things for the e-book market -- its 7.7-inch
low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor LCD screen works with
Microsoft's ClearType display technology and offers readers a crisper
image. The new LCD uses crystallized silicon, which supports much faster
electron flows in transistors than the uncrystallized silicon present in
today's run-of-the-mill LCDs. The result is higher resolution and richer
color -- good news for e-book manufacturers, who are trying to overcome
consumer resistance to change. Despite slow growth, eMarketer predicts
online book sales will expand from $660 million in 1999 to $4.1 billion by
2004. (Fox News 28 Sep 2000)

WHO IS USING THE WIRELESS WEB?
Media Metrix estimates that 7.4 million households in the U.S. now have
wireless devices that can access the Web, but only 200,000 of Sprint PCS
customers have signed up for Web service and only 100,000 of AT&T's
customers have. But in Europe and Asia it's another story; Media Metrix
executive Bruce Ryon says, "The thing about Europe and Asia is that there's
a whole different economic model. In both places it's very expensive to be
wired to the Web. It can cost hundreds of dollars a month. But wireless
access costs only a few dollars a month. Here, I have a Web cell phone that
I'm paying about $70 a month for, and most people can get on the wired
Internet practically for free." Because of its relatively high cost, North
Americans "will not use it for time killing, like people in Europe."

STUDENT ACCESS TO THE INTERNET
An Angus Reid Group survey of 10,000 students ages 12 to 24 in sixteen
countries found that the U.S. ranked fifth in terms of percentage of
full-time students who access the Internet at their school or home,
following Sweden, Canada, Taiwan, and the U.K. The following list shows
percentages for full-time and part-time students in each of the countries
surveyed: Sweden (78, 80); Canada (74, 71); Taiwan (63, 45); U.K. (59, 49);
U.S. (59, 68); Netherlands (58, 62); Australia (57, 61); South Korea (37,
47); Mexico (33, 32); Japan (28, 23); Italy (28, 38); Spain (28, 19);
Germany (25, 31); France (25, 21); Brazil (21, 36); and China (13, 9).

SURPRISING DATA ON DIGITAL DIVIDE
U.S. Internet users with an annual income of $21,000 to $33,000
spend up to three more hours online per month than the average
Internet user, according to a Nielsen/NetRatings report. The
report examined Internet statistics during June, finding that the
group spent 11 to 12 hours on the Internet during the month, the
most of any socioeconomic group, while Internet users whose
annual salary falls between $53,000 and $136,000 spent the least
amount of time online. Overall, Internet users averaged nine
hours online during the month. NetRatings analyst Peggy O'Neill
says that Internet users in the $21,000 to $33,000 income group
often work blue-collar jobs and do not have Internet access at
work, which would explain their higher Internet-use rates at
home. O'Neill says the study concludes that a digital divide
does exist, with minority groups lacking representation on the
Web. (New York Times Online, September 25 2000)

I hate to lead with this, but if Project Gutenberg is going to be able to
eventually survive when I am gone, we have to get some support coming in.
Please. . .help us get started. . .I am going to conferences in the states
of Washington, Hawaii and California. . .and it would be nice if we could
solicit contributions in the process, but it costs money to file the papers
required before we can do this. We CAN accept outside U.S. contributions.
Presently, contributions are only being solicited from people in:
Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota,
Iowa, Indiana, and Vermont. As the requirements for other states
are met, additions to this list will be made and fund raising will
begin in the additional states. These donations should be made to

Requests For Assistance
I am typing in the book "Defenders of Democracy" which is a collection of
letters written around the time of the US entrance into WWI. These
letters are from heads of state, literature figures, etc. encouraging the
woman at home in the US to support their husbands, brothers, and sons who
are going to war in Europe. Several of the letters are in French and an
English translation is also printed. I have typed in two of the French
letters with their English translations, but the French letters need
proofing. Please contact me at bfish@atlantech.net if you can perform
this type of proof reading and I'll send you the completed letters for
proofing and additional letters as I get to them in the book. THANKS!

Comments About Our New Files
We have posted our first three Etexts in Flemish!
This month we have approximately 2/3 of the October, 2001 Etexts done,
along with about 50% of the November, 2001 Etexts, and we completed an
extraordinary set of works by Alexandre Dumas that was reserved on the
schedule for August, 2001, as well as a few other Etexts we worked for
several months on, including the Dumas collection listed below.
We have 8 Galsworthy titles, and 19 T. H. Huxley titles for November.
for a total of 27 November, 2001 Etexts, and about 33 October Etexts.
Thus we have hopefully exceeded our goal of 50 at this time. While I
am writing this I am also posting these books. . .so it is kind of an
interesting race as to how many books I can post before I get totally
exhausted. . .this is also the reason I sometimes make silly mistakes
while writing the last few parts of the Newsletter. . . . ;-)
I am also hoping to [officially] squeeze in 10 extra Etext into those
November, 2001 listings, before I leave on my speaking tour, so #3000
can be announced while I am giving my speech in Hawaii.

Notes from Edupage and Newsscan
BOEING PLANS IN-FLIGHT INTERNET SERVICES
Hoping to get a head start on its rivals, aircraft giant Boeing is
planning, to roll out an in-flight Internet and entertainment service to
air travelers by next year. The Connexion by Boeing service will be
delivered through a high-speed satellite wireless network that uses
specialized, phased array antennas to transmit data to laptop-toting
passengers who will pay $17.50 an hour for the privilege. Download rates
will be about 5 megabits per second, with upload speeds of 1.5 mps, or
about as fast as a T-1 line. Boeing is negotiating with various cable
channels, such as CNN, ESPN, Eurosport and Euronews, to fill the four
television channels that will be available on the system. "Trying to make
the time on the airplane more productive is really a tremendous feature
that will dramatically change the way people travel," says Boeing's P of
commercial information systems. (Los Angeles Times 28 Aug 2000)

IN U.S., DIGITAL HAVES OUTNUMBER HAVE-NOTS
The Internet continues to integrate itself into the day-to-day
routines of Americans, according to the results of a random
telephone survey of 65,000 Internet users by Nielsen NetRatings.
U.S. home Internet penetration reached 52 percent in July--the
first time more than half of all Americans had home Web access.
Home access rates jumped 35 percent from July 1999 to July of
this year, from 106.3 million home users to 144 million users.
Likewise, the time Internet users spend online is going up. The
average Internet user spent 9 hours 41 minutes online this July
compared with 7 hours and 39 minutes last July, an increase
of 26 percent. Internet users are also looking at fewer Web
sites, meaning that larger sites are successfully leveraging
their brand to hold users' attention. Cheaper Web access is
enabling Americans to go online in ever-increasing numbers, says
NetRatings' Sean Kaldor. (Washington Post, August 24 2000)

donations and paid a modest salary to Michael Hart as a research professor
dedicating all his time to getting free etexts on the net. Thus, Michael
was able to devote 100% of his time to coordinating everything and doing
whatever was needed to keep turning out Project Gutenberg Etexts,
and distributing the free etexts so many volunteers worked on,
so the widest possible audience could partake of them.
However, Benedictine University and Carnegie Mellon University are no
longer supporting Project Gutenberg as sponsored research. They have
asked that no further donations be made out or sent to Project
Gutenberg/CMU or Project Gutenberg/IBC. We have been told that any
donations received made out to these universities should be returned
with the explanation they are no longer sponsoring the project.
The time has come to be supported by a foundation dedicated solely to
preserving the future of free Etexts as envisioned in Project Gutenberg
and helping to reach the goal of 10,000 etexts as soon as possible.
A few key people need to be employed at modest salaries and many more
volunteers must be found and their work coordinated to reach the goal
of 10,000 free etexts. So a completely new Foundation, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, has been formed and is in the
process of obtaining recognition from the IRS as a tax exempt public
charity.
Donations are needed more than ever! However, along the way it has
been necessary to learn far more about non profit law than most people
ever want to know. We are going to have to abide by very strict laws
and regulations, file many forms and pay registration fees in several
states to make sure everything is done properly and legally.
Until we get some more of this red tape completed, we have to make sure
requests for support are directed only to people in states where it is
legal for the Foundation to raise money. Presently, contributions are
only being solicited from people from: Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa, Indiana, and Vermont.
As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list
will be made and fund raising will begin in additional states.
These donations should be made out to the:
"Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation"
and sent to our new mailing address:

Etexts Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since Before The Internet
[Usually sent the first Wednesday of each month, delayed if by relay.]
Main URL is promo.net Webmaster is Pietro di Miceli, of Rome, Italy
*Check out our Websites at promo.net, and ask me for our FTP servers.*
With 2820 eTexts online it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers
gaining a nominal value of $3.55 from each book, for Project Gutenberg
to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
This "cost" is down from $3.60 when we had 2775 Etexts on August 2
This "cost" is down from $3.70 when we had 2650 Etexts in July
This "cost" is down from $3.77 when we had 2650 Etexts in June
This "cost" is down from $3.92 when we had 2550 Etexts in May
This "cost" is down from $4.00 when we had 2500 Etexts in April
Can you imagine each one of thousands of books reduced by 45 cents???
Proving our humanity is just the first step.
It will be demonstrating it time and again
that will revolutionize our world.

There is a Hungarian etext project much like the Gutenberg,
which can be found under the address

Please let us know if you manage to contact anyone there, we would
LOVE to do Etexts in Hungarian!

INDIA IS DEVELOPING A $200 "SIMPUTER"
India's hardware industry is planning a 9,000-rupee (US$200) "simputer" to
extend computer use to the masses by making PCs as inexpensive as a color
televisions. And the Indian government has been moving aggressively to
expand computer and Internet usage, by ending a state monopoly on the
Internet, taking similar action with respect to long-distance telephony,
allowing private firms to set up landing stations for undersea fiber optic
cables linking to Internet gateways, and creating a new legal framework to
enable e-commerce. (Reuters/San Jose Mercury News 15 Aug 2000)

LINUX APPLICATIONS GROUP TO COMPETE AGAINST MICROSOFT OFFICE
Supported by IBM, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard and other major computer
companies, a group of Linux software developers has created something
called the Gnome Foundation, which is offering a set of software standards
for a common software environment in which to create a viable but free
alternative to Microsoft's Windows operating system, a unified desktop user
interface, and a set of productivity programs (also free) to compete
against Microsoft's Office suite. Sun has decided to adopt the Gnome
desktop system for its Solaris operating system. One developer in the Gnome
Foundations says: "A year ago, we were missing the last mile. But at the
end of this year my Mom could install Helix Gnome and Sun's StarOffice and
have a total office environment." (New York Times 14 Aug 2000)

This Newsletter has gotten so large that we are breaking in two pieces
as we have done several times before. . .the next portion should go by
August 15th. . .it looks as if we have about 81 new Etexts this month!
With 2775 eTexts online it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers
gaining a nominal value of $3.60 from each book, for Project Gutenberg
to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
This "cost" is down from $3.70 when we had 2650 Etexts in July
This "cost" is down from $3.77 when we had 2600 Etexts in June
This "cost" is down from $3.92 when we had 2550 Etexts in May
This "cost" is down from $4.00 when we had 2500 Etexts in April
Can you imagine each one of thousands of books reduced by 40 cents???
And given to one hundred million people!?!?!?

I, Michael S. Hart, am now forming my own TWO teams of assistants,
one just for Project Gutenberg work, one for anything else I need
help with. . .probably research, web searches, etc. Please email
me directly. For these teams you don't have to be an expert on a
lot of things, I am hoping the law of large numbers will help get
me answers to the questions I will be sending out.
THE EX-CLASSICS WEB SITE
Gutenberg volunteer Donal O' Danachair
kodak_seaside@hotmail.com
has set up this e-books resource at
http://indigo.ie/~odanachd/default.htm
It is dedicated to making available books that were once important and
influential but are now unjustly forgotten. The books will be in readable
HTML with illustrations etc., and will, he hopes, spark interest in these
neglected masterpieces. Samuel Butler's HUDIBRAS is already available, and
the following are in the pipeline.
Gil Blas, by A-R LeSage, Trans. Tobias Smollett
The Poems of Ossian, By MacPherson
The Martyrdom of Man, by Winwood Reade

We need more proofing than usual this month,
if you would care to run a spellchecker on
any of those from #2799 to #2822, I would
certainly appreciate it, as I posted all of
those in a huge rush yesterday, and did not
get a chance to do as much as I would like.
Of course, ALL the Etexts really need some
proofreading, so if you care to do any of
the others, that would be great!!!

Subject: REVISED! July Project Gutenberg Newsletter
From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org>
To: "Project Gutenberg mailing list" <gutnberg@listserv.unc.edu>
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 11:32:21 -0500 (CDT)
In addition to the notices below. . . .
I need old mono cards and mono/graphics cards. . . .
Do we have anyone who can do RTF for an Etext in Italian. . . .
The Etext is ready, but only in RTF. . . .
*!!! REVISED LISTINGS FOR PROJECT GUTENBERG ETEXTS FOR JULY, 2001 !!!*
Several of our copyright clearances did not come in even now, 2 weeks
after the original of the July Newsletter went out, so we have had to
shuffle a few Etext numbers around so we could complete the July 2001
listings and start on the August index. . . .
First is a notice of which Etext numbers were changed to what, then a
complete listing of all 50 Project Gutenberg Etexts for July, 2001.
In the first listing I have marked the changes with ^^^ under them, to
make it easier to spot the changes. . .the main listing is as it would
be in the final index files.
*This is Project Gutenberg's Newsletter for Wednesday, July 5th, 2000*
!!!!!!!Yesterday was our 30th Fourth of July on the Internet!!!!!!!
Etexts Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since Before The Internet
[Usually sent the first Wednesday of each month, delayed if by relay.]
Main URL is promo.net Webmaster is Pietro di Miceli, of Rome, Italy
*Check out our Websites at promo.net, and ask me for our FTP servers.*
The erroneous copy of this Newsletter contained the following listing:
Jul 2001 Long Odds, by H. Rider Haggard [H.R. Haggard #17][loddsxxx.xxx]2730
This is our second version [lodds10a.txt and .zip] of Long Odds, also see:
Oct 1999 Long Odds, by H. Rider Haggard [H. R. Haggard #8][loddsxxx.xxx]1918
Jul 2001 A Tale of Three Lions, by H. Rider[HR Haggard #16][3lionxxx.xxx]2729
Jul 2001 Hunter Quatermain's Story, by H. Rider[Haggard#15][qstryxxx.xxx]2728
Jul 2001 Allan's Wife, by H. Rider Haggard[H.R.Haggard #14][awifexxx.xxx]2727
Jul 2001 Morning Star, by H. Rider Haggard [HR Haggard #13][mstarxxx.xxx]2722
Which inexplicably was missing the entries for #2723, #2524, #2725 and #2726,
which we appeared to have left over, and thus were listed after the 50 Etexts
scheduled for official release in July, 2001.
Now, with the help of John Ockerbloom, we are replacing that listing with the
following. . .which has moved the three misplaced listings to the right place
and moved the Haggard listing to a later number, so as not to interfere in an
independent internal indexing of the Haggard Etexts.
Here is a brief summary of the changes, followed by the entire listings as it
should be filed for future indexing and cataloguing. . . .
The filenames have not changed, so if you retrieve via FTP or other indexings
that use the filename, you don't have to change anything to get the file, but
. . .if you get the new file it will have a new number inside, and in the one
case, will have a new date.
I have underlined the changed portions with ^^ to make them easy to see here,
and they appear normally in the following complete index of the 50 Etexts.
