***The Project Gutenberg Newsletter for December 10, 1997**
Some of you may receive this a day later due to shifts in a
major listserver of ours, details are appended below.
CONTENTS:
Shakespeare
Portuguese Etext Team
Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine Site of the Month
For December:
A new release of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare;
which brings us to Etext #1137. This brings us to 10 times
as many files as we had available just 4 years ago today.
As you may be aware, December 10th has been important to us
in the past, as we posted our 100th Etext on December 10th,
1993--just four years ago. As promised, we are releasing a
version of this as independent files, so you no longer have
to download the Complete Works of Shakespeare to get any of
the particular plays or poems you may wish to use.
We need Shakespeare volunteers to scan or type and proof
Two Noble Kinsmen and Cardenio, dubious Shakespeare texts.
Please contact: Dianne Bean <beandp@primenet.com>.
*
Please put us on your holiday gift list. . .last year about
this time was the first month we ever received more than we
spent on running Project Gutenberg; details appended below.
It would be nice if we could manage this for two months for
1998, and we will hopefully continue to gain publicity from
the major media that will encourage volunteers & donations.
*
We need xeroxes of the title page [both sides] of the Oxford
Book of English Verse [pre-1923 edition].
*
Would those interested in Edgar Allen Poe let me know. The
files are mostly ready for final proofreading.
*
In general, those of you who have worried about sending big
amounts of email or snail mail, or being too demanding on a
few of us, now is the time to send in xeroxes, questions or
some other items you were worried might take too much time,
effort, etc., on the parts of our volunteers or myself. The
holidays are traditionally a period when we do huge amounts
of work, and the computers are very fast because others are
off on vacations.
We are also working on a new high bandwidth listserver: we
have crashed the prairienet listserver several times. This
is often because people do not notify the listservers of an
email address change, and the number of error messages that
come back is too great for the mailer to handle. Please do
unsubscribe and resubscribe when moving, even if your gurus
tell you this is not necessary. . .it often is. A list the
size of 10,000 will often generate 500 error messages which
have wreaked havoc on prairienet.org, so we are moving to a
more robust server, as detailed at the end of this message.
*
Our Portuguese Team is forming up, and anyone interested in
doing Etexts or sites in Portuguese or in translation is an
extremely welcome addition. Please contact Lucia Segovia:
<lsegovia@mail.telepac.pt> about Etexts in Portuguese: and
Marco Campos <mcampos@esoterica.pt> about forming sites.

"Yahoo Internet Life" magazine has chosen Project Gutenberg
as their "Site of the Month" for January, 1998, in an issue
dedicated to the "Top of the Net." This issue should reach
the newsstands this week and my advance copy is interesting
in the extreme. I would suggest taking a look at the whole
thing, and possibly at our article with is the middle at pp
68-69. Somehow I think our press is getting better, and it
may yet help us keep afloat.
"In the galaxy of Website awards we offer our five stars
just 12 times a year. Here's this month's in-depth look
at a Web site or service that is truly distinctive. . ."
Also:
As of today, TopTenLinks ranked your web site as one of the
top ten web sites on the Internet! Your ranking can be found
at TopTenLinks located at: www.toptenlinks.com
*
I have returned from my month of hobnobbing, with my fellow
wizards on the West Coast and have made numbers of contacts
that should someday provide some help in nearly all areas I
think we need help: financial, incorporation, more Etexts,
and more computers and scanners. I will be following up on
these contacts in the year[s] to come, and hopefully make a
variety of new contacts each November to come. If you have
suggestions for areas I did not include above please let me
know. Oh, I also made a public relations contact that I am
hoping will get us more publicity.
*
Now, here are the 32 November Etexts, and 17 from December--
we promised that as soon as we had 1,000 Etexts we would put
out individual editions of the Shakespeare works that we had
posted as a single large file as our 100th Etext, four years
ago this very week, and dedicated to my father, who died the
10th of December, 1989, after helping me take one of the big
steps towards getting Project Gutenberg out of this basement
and into a more worldwide mode of circulation. Thanks Dad!!

Here is a request for help from Donald Knuth. [Yes, THE Donald Knuth]
Mies van der Rohe was famous for saying "God is in the details";
for example, his obituary in the New York Herald Tribune (1969)
mentioned this. So I tried to find it in his writings; no luck.
[It is of course a wonderfully apropos motto for computer scientists.]
I talked to some architects, and got the following lead, supposedly
quoted from a biography of Mies by Franz Schulze (U Chicago Press, 1985),
footnote on page 281, although Stanford's library doesn't have that book:
More details on request.

>From one of our volunteers searching various libraries for public domain
materials for Project Gutenberg--[Please note that we can only use books
published before 1923. . .due to the U.S. copyright laws. . .but that we
will be posting books in other countries that will be produced there, of
later dates, but which are public domain in those countries.]
"Had a real shocker today, although I imagine it's no surprise to you. I
spent a few hours digging, only to find that the General Circulation
Section of the Main Branch of the New York Public Library has no public
domain books!! The closest I came was one 1924 edition of the oeuvres
of some obscure Frenchman - en francais. Just out of curiosity, I
checked some of the reference section as well, w/ the same result."
We would like to find out where the pre-1924 editions are being kept.
Thanks so much for any information you can provide. hart@pobox.com

About our efforts to run from a new listserver:
There are TWO Project Gutenberg Lists. . .volunteers will also want
to subscribe to the "gutvol-l" list AND the "gutnberg" list, simply
by including a second line with "gutvol-l" in place of "gutnberg."
[That is an "-L" after "gutvol" for the Volunteer's Listserver.]
To SUBSCRIBE to the Project Gutenberg mailing list, "gutnberg" please
send an email message to: listproc@listserv.oit.unc.edu
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain the text:
subscribe gutnberg Your True Name
So, if your name were Dudley P. Duck, your message would contain:
subscribe gutnberg Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Listprocessor
gets it from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "listproc@listserv.oit.unc.edu" You
can't address your message to an address like "listserv" or "listprocessor"
or "majordom"
To UNSUBSCRIBE, just send this message to "listproc@listserv.oit.unc.edu"
unsubscribe gutnberg
If you are having trouble with the list, send a message to
"owner-gutnberg@listserv.oit.unc.edu" and your message will be routed
to the person who manages the list.
If you care to make a donation to keep Project Gutenberg running,
or to sponsor a particular book, you can donate as follows:
Checks should be made out to "Project Gutenberg/CMU" and mailed to:

Subject: Project Gutenberg Newsletter for November, 1997
From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org>
To: Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com>
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 1997 03:45:44 -0600 (CST)
This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for Wednesday, November 5, 1977
Below are listed the 32 October PG Etexts, and 4 more to start November.
We will be releasing separate files of the Complete Works of Shakespeare
starting with Etext #1100 and continuing to approximately Etext #1137 to
release our previous single file Complete Shakespeare, as was requested.
We will also be releasing corrected versions of these files and versions
of Shakespeare from other editions in the near future.
Michael Hart will be hard to reach for most of November, please contact:
Dianne Bean and David Price, our Directors of Production, this month, to
get answers to your normal questions. I am hoping for a deluge of xerox
copyright pages to work on over the holidays, as most of you know I have
a tendency to get a huge amount of work done just after Thanksgiving and
through the rest of the holiday season, so please keep my mailbox filled
with books we can do. I can usually handle twice as many books over the
holidays, but sometimes there aren't that many to work on.
***
We have been experiencing problems with our listserver, so we are trying
to send this out now, on Sunday, November 2, so we will have time to try
another listserver on Wednesday if this fails. The only listserver this
effects is the direct subscription to the "gutnberg@prairienet.org" one.
Many of the rest of you should receive this normally even if that list's
recipients do not. If that one fails again, some of you may receive the
new copy on or after Wednesday, the 5th.
In other notes of interest, I spoke with the Dean of Computer Science of
Carnegie Mellon University, and apparently I should soon receive letters
indicating that Project Gutenberg should be able to continue to operated
from Carnegie Mellon University for three more years and I will continue
on as a Carnegie Mellon visiting scientist for that period.
Therefore, you will also hopefully shortly be receiving email requesting
that you put Project Gutenberg on your Christmas list; donations will be
made out to "Project Gutenberg/CMU", P.O. Box 2782, Champaign, Illinois,
61825-2782, the same as before. If you do not receive this message, you
can hopefully get it by sending email to Dianne Bean, as above, who will
forward it to Greg Newby, who will be running our other listserver tries
while I am away.
A note below these Etext entries indicates that we are updating sites to
our new addresses, around the world, as the old "vmd" address we had for
so many years, will no longer forward to us after another month or so.
If you are still emailing us at any "vmd" address, please update address
books now, and let us know where sites are that contain the vmd address,
OTHER than uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu, and in the Etext files themselves.
Now, here are the 32 [actually 31] October Etexts, and 4 for November.
We hope you enjoy them.

This is our second experimental effort at cataloguing multiple
items in a single file. In the first instance we use the same
index number for each item, and just used multiple entries for
that file in the index. In this, the second instance, we have
used separate index numbers for the collection and for all the
entries in that collection. Let us know which you prefer. We
have traditionally used the smallest number of index entries--
as somewhat of a protest against others who have copied Etexts
and wanted it to appear as if they had more Etext than Project
Gutenberg or various other etext collections. We want to make
our Etexts as easy as possible to find and work with, but, not
to "pad" our work. However, we prefer to post short works for
you in collections, to eliminate you having to download all 11
kilobytes of our header and "legal fine print" to get files of
sizes less than the headers. Please email me on this. Thanks!

My apologies, as the message below indicates; there are a number of very
old Project Gutenberg files scattered around the world and we appreciate
any efforts you could make to help us update them. Many sites say their
location is the official center of Project Gutenberg, but the truth is a
real center of Project Gutenberg is a more or less mythical thing, as we
have always been an Unlimited Distribution concept, in which anyone will
be allowed to put up a Project Gutenberg site wherever they want as long
as it is non-profit.
Bringing Things Up To Date
As many of you know, Project Gutenberg is the oldest general
information provider on the Internet, having begun in 1971--
when there were only about 100 people on the whole Internet.
Since we allow our files to be reposted anywhere people want
to post them, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of sites
around the world containing our files. . .which we consider,
most whole-heartedly, the best way to provide Public Domain,
and other information, to the world.
However, as many of you Web users know, one of the problems,
probably the biggest problem, with the Web, is that no files
are updated in a given year on surprisingly large numbers of
Web sites, once they have been established.
Therefore, since many of our files date back many years, the
problem occurs that people read files such as "newuser.gut,"
from some of these sites, and receive information about some
of our email addresses and listservers that have been out of
date for years.
Right now, I would ask you to let me know the locations, and
filenames [other than the Etext files themselves, of course]
that we should make an effort to get replaced. We realize a
number of these locations are not "active" in the real sense
of the word, but we can certainly make reasonable efforts to
at least update the locations we can.
Many of these sites mention "vmd" addresses. vmd has been a
discontinued service for quite some time now, and if looking
for "vmd" on these sites yields a "hit". . .other than in an
Etext file [which will be updated in a separate effort] then
we ask you to email the people at that site [and cc: us] for
the purpose of asking them to update their files if possible
or to contact us if this can't be easily done.
Thanks for your help!
Happy Holidays to you all!!!

The Sydney PC Users Group was formed approximately 10 years ago
to cater to home computer users. It has currently 2600 members,
prints a monthly magazine called "PrintScreen", & runs Special
Interest Groups (or SIGs) on various topics (OS/2, Windows,
Networks etc), runs a couple of local based groups and 3 BBSs
IBM (61 2 9804 8677), Gateway Mail Exchange (61 2 9984 8022)

Scanning Needed for Balzac Works
We have a volunteer interested in preparing English versions of Honore
de Balzac's works, but volunteers are needed to provide scanned files.
She'd like to begin with _Cousin Betty_, _The Chouans_, _The Wild Ass's
Skin_, or _About Catherine de Medici_ but is prepared to work on others
if they are more readily available. If you can help scan in some of the
materials, please contact Daphne Schor <dschor@erols.com> for details.

AAP INTRODUCES ELECTRONIC TAGGING SYSTEM FOR INTERNET
The Association of American Publishers, in cooperation with the Corporation
for National Research Initiatives, has developed a "digital object
identifier" system that would make it easier for would-be users of
electronic information to find out about the origin and ownership of the
online material, and about copyright restrictions on its use. The voluntary
system would enable users to "recognize intellectual property even on the
fastest of highways," says a consultant who helped develop the system. The
system is designed around a numeric tag that would be embedded in books,
articles and even chapters. When users clicked on an icon, they would be
transported to the information owner's home page, which would contain
information for obtaining permission to use the work. The system would be
maintained by a new, nonprofit D.O.I. Foundation, supported by fees from
publishers. (Chronicle of Higher Education 3 Oct 97)
There are many sites around the world containing Project Gutenberg Etexts,
only two of which we actually maintain directly: prairienet.org and also
archive.org. uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu mirrors prairienet at 3AM & 3PM, and
is a much faster site. You may find that some of these sites are faster,
much faster, from you location, but you may also find that some sites are
easier for you to use, depending on how you like to search our collection
of electronic book. Of course, you can always download GUTINDEX.* files,
and do you own searching with your own favorite program. That's my way!!
But many people really like the indexing and added information available,
especially from promo.net and sailor, as below.
You can get the Project Gutenberg books via FTP and the Web:
[This site is in Urbana, Illinois, and is quite fast]

We are working on several sites "down under" in Australia,
here is a note for those near Sydney.
The Sydney PC Users Group was formed approximately 10 years ago
to cater to home computer users. It has currently 2600 members,
prints a monthly magazine called "PrintScreen", & runs Special
Interest Groups (or SIGs) on various topics (OS/2, Windows, Nets
etc), runs a few local based groups and 3 BBSs: IBM (61 2 9804 8677),
Gateway Mail Exchange (61 2 9984 8022) & Macarthur (61 2 4628 3722).

Subject: Project Gutenberg Newsletter, October 1, 1997 [to Etext #1057]
From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org>
To: hart@archive.org
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 10:10:04 -0500 (CDT)
This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for October, 1997 [ To Etext #1057]
Well. . .we [I] survived the mad rush to get Etext #1,000 online on schedule,
though I must admit I am still at little behind in posting some updated files
and answering yesterday's email. . . .
You will be receiving a separate note detailing Project Gutenberg's goals for
1998, and beyond, which may have some surprises for you. If you have had the
idea of starting a project in your own country, region, or language, this one
is a message you won't want to miss.
It will be titled: "Project Gutenberg Needs Your Help!" and should be coming
to you next week.
***
As you will notice below, we are completing our collection of Oscar Wilde and
would like to hear from you if you have any Wilde materials we have not filed
for downloading yet.
In addition, you will notice that we have started releasing Shakespeare, as I
promised we would after Etext #1,000, as individual files rather than only as
the "The Complete Works." We hope to do several editions, and are forming an
Etext Team specifically for Shakespeare. Please let me know if interested.
We will also be forming Etext Teams for other specific authors and subjects--
just let me know which you would like.
***
Dianne Bean, our Director of Production, has just moved this week and will be
out of email touch for a while. Stepping in to help is one of our volunteers
from England, David Price <ccx074@ccj.coventry.ac.uk>, from the University of
Coventry. David and Dianne will combine to take my place in November while I
am off schmoozing and conferencing on the West Coast, and doing a feasibility
study on the possibilities of moving back home to Tacoma, Washington. I will
be up and down the coast in November and would love to stop to see as many of
you as possible, just let me know. I will be spending most of my time in the
Seattle-Tacoma area the first half of the month, and in Silicon Valley and SF
Bay Area starting mid-month.

My Apologies:
Please note: Due to my somewhat exorbitant efforts to get Etext #1,000 out on
schedule, I accidentally posted 36 Etexts in July, and 40 in August. This was
pointed out to me in time to fix the August listings, but I just noticed July,
and since it is now to late to fix this easily, I will just remedy this by the
posting of only 28 Etexts labelled as September, to get us on track. Oops! mh
[PS. . .I may change the month labelling later, but not the Etext name/number.
There are supposed to be 32 Project Gutenberg Etexts released every month. mh
ELECTRONIC MONOGRAPHS ARE "GREAT ADVERTISING"
As university publishers struggle to find the right business model for
offering scholarly documents online, some early innovators are finding that
making a monograph available electronically can boost sales of hard copies.
The National Academy Press has already put 1,700 of its books online, and is
finding that the electronic versions of some books have boosted sales of the
hard copy monographs -- often by two to three times the previous level.
It's "great advertising," says the Press's director. The MIT Press is
experiencing similar results: "For each of our electronic books, we've
approximately doubled our sales. The plain fact is that no one is going to
sit there and read a whole book online. And it costs money and time to
download it." Meanwhile, the Association of American Publishers has set up
a Web site to showcase its new Digital Object Identifier System, which
identifies copyrighted material and links the user to the copyright owners.
http://www.doi.org/overview.html (Chronicle of Higher Education 12 Sep 97)
[In addition I heard a news report that said books of all varieties have
an average of 28% increased sales, if they are posted on the Internet.]

"Never,

First things first. . . .
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all those who have volunteers help to Project Gutenberg, over
more than a quarter of a century and especially to the anonymous
volunteers [at least anonymous for now], and to those who worked
VERY hard with me over the past few days [not to mention months]
to get us from Etext #900 to Etext #1,000 on schedule.
You can be a Project Gutenberg volunteer, email hart@pobox.com.

You might be interested in taking a look at next week's issue of
Time magazine in the Time Digital Section in Point/Counterpoint.
You can see me in my cap and gown holding a stack of 1,000 CDROM
disks that will be able to hold 10,000,000 Etexts in the new DVD
format. With compression I am told it could be 20,000,000 Etext
files, which would be more books than any library contains. The
University of Illinois library, in which this picture was taken,
contains only 10,000,000 items in all its branches and is one of
the largest half dozen libraries in the United States.
*
Yes, in rereading this I realize I write in sentences that would
be considered too long by today's standards; please bear with me
as much as possible on this occasion which is quite possibly the
pinnacle of my career [unless we get massive new support we will
not be able to double our production per year ever again].
*
>From our humble beginnings with a single copy of the Declaration
of Independence of the United States now exactly 315 months ago,
the goal of Project Gutenberg has always been to demonstrate how
computers should create a Neo-Industrial Revolution/Renaissance,
through the efforts of a moderate number of people multiplied in
a nearly infinite manner by the power of computers to copy books
with incredible ease, once they are entered into digital formats
readable by common persons with common computers and programs.
Since that day on July 4th, 1971, when there were ~100 people on
the entire Internet, which had just started reaching out from an
infancy of a handful of U.S. West Coast mainframes, each with an
approximate power of modern calculators selling well under $100,
the invention of the personal computer for the common persons by
Woz and Jobs [Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, who eventually would
become known as Apple Computers Inc.] has changed the face of an
electronic generation for the rest of history.
On that very July 4th, 1971, we had to predict the onset of what
would come to be known as the "personal computer" and little did
we know that the Apple II would hit the market before the end of
the 1970's and we have been thankful to Woz and Jobs, Bill Gates
and Gary Kildall & all the other pioneers of personal computers.
The personal computer was a indispensable requirement for us who
wanted to bring a collection of great books to millions/billions
of people around the world.
At that time United States copyright was 28 years, with possibly
28 more years, if certain legal conditions were met. Most works
were never renewed, so by 1978 we would have been able to print,
so to speak, most works published before 1950.
However, this was also the heyday of the xerox machine, and they
were not going to sit idly by while a new generation of machines
allowed easy copying of nearly anything in two dimensions. BUT,
instead of trying to enforce the copyright laws, they broke them
by extending all copyrights to 75 years, and eliminating renewal
requirements, much as what had happened in the early 1900's when
the new steam and electric printing presses had made printing so
inexpensive that Sears could afford to send catalogs to millions
of people for whom this would be the first book they ever owned.
Thus, to drive these new, more efficient publishers out of THEIR
business, the old line publishing lobby talked the U.S. Congress
into to voiding the copyright laws that had stood since founding
the United States, and doubling copyrights from 14 years, with a
possible 14 year renewal, to 28 years, with 28 year renewals.
*THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT!*
Every single time a new publishing technique has promised to get
the common people a home library, laws have been passed to stop,
dead in its tracks, this kind of "Information Age."
>From the first copyright laws, which were designed to eliminate,
most successfully I might add, the presses which were originally
started by Johannes Gutenberg in 1455, to the next generation of
copyright laws designed to eliminate, again most successfully, a
rash of "home libraries," published less expensively than modern
[early 20th century] publishers wanted to compete with, to xerox
revolutions and revolutionaries, which were legally stifled by a
new copyright law in 1976, to the most current copyright bill in
the U.S. Congress, which threatens to remove yet another million
books from the public domain because modern day publishers would
be unable to compete with electronic publishing today.
*AT THE START OF THIS CENTURY COPYRIGHTS WERE 14 YEARS, NOW THEY
*ARE THREATENING TO SURPASS 100 YEARS, A PERIOD LONGER THAN WILL
*BE LEGAL FOR ANY CONTRACT TO BE SIGNED FOR [this is why Panama,
*Hong Kong, etc., were leased for just under 100 years].
Information Age???
For Whom???
We hope it will be for you.

Gutenberg in Portugal and Brasil
Project Gutenberg now has the following mirror site in Portugal,
and a site in Brasil is under construction. We would VERY much
like to open more sites south of the equator. If you know some
places we could ask, please let us know.

A note of interest for potential Project Gutenberg volunteers:
XEROX INTRODUCES SCANNER-PRINTER-COPIER FOR HOME USE
Xerox is introducing a $499 machine that combines scanning, printing, and
copying capabilities with easy-to-use software. Industry analysts don't
expect rival manufacturer Hewlett-Packard to incorporate color scanners
into its products before next Spring. (New York Times 18 Aug 97)

Don Quixote is a long book, some 2 million characters, divided up into
over 100 chapters, and we desperately need all the proofreaders we can
possibly get to take a look at this file over the next few weeks. The
proofreading can be done from any John Ormsby edition before 1922, and
SOME proofing can be done from later editions.
If you can possibly get your hands one of these paper editions we will
help you coordinate your efforts with others, unless you plan to do an
immense amount of work and try to proofread the whole thing.
What we are particularly interested in at first are just missing parts
. . .whole sentences, paragraphs, sections, etc., then more detail. A
great value can be generated on this particular Etext by a quick look!
Any differences you see should be reported to me at hart@pobox.com and
your efforts will be coordinated by our Director of Production, Dianne
Bean at beand@pr.erau.edu
Thank you SO much for any effort you can put in on this. I have spent
the entire morning working on this file, after a few days collecting a
wide variety of editions, etext information, etc. We also hope to see
a few other editions in both English and Spanish very shortly to get a
Spanish Project Gutenberg Team into motion.
Right now I have to switch to Italian and English for the next dozen--
which will be versions of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Again my HUGE thanks to you all!

Subject: Project Gutenberg's 26th Anniversary Newsletter
From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org>
To: Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com>
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 13:32:05 -0500 (CDT)
Our email is back up, but our FTP is still iffy. . .see below.
26th Anniversary Edition of the Project Gutenberg Newsletter
July 4th 1971 to July 4th 1997: nearly 1,000 Etexts online.
We have chosen Howard Pyle's "Merry Adventures of Robin Hood"
as our 26th Anniversary edition, and are still working madly
on Dante's Divine Comedy in Italian and several English text
translations for our 1,000th Etext, which should be released
officially on September 1st.
This is going to be quite an effort, anyone who has not been
in touch with me lately about it, please contact me again.
WIRED magazine's July issue listed Project Gutenberg as part
of their 40 year timeline of the most important events in an
extensive "informed projection" of the causes and effects of
the events of the 40 years surrounding the year 2000 in four
pages of foldout between pages 122 and 127. The listing for
Project Gutenberg is near the top center of the four pages--
this is a very impressive list to be included in. **Blush**
[I don't blush that often, but this is impressive! company.]
LOST EMAIL! If you haven't heard from me, see below.
As announced two weeks ago, Prairienet was down last week to
make upgrades, and I have replied to all of the over 1400 of
your emails that I received over that period, but I know the
fact is that a lot of email is in the bit bucket in the sky,
as our sysadmins put it, so if you have not heard from me, a
resend will be necessary. . .sorry for the hassle.
Our email is now functioning normally but our Prairienet FTP
sites are still not working, none of them, so you would have
to get the files from alternate sites, listed below.
If you are SENDING us files, please use mrcnext right now or
trixie, if mrcnext is down.
We still need more people with SCANNERS. . .please email our
Director of Production, Dianne Bean <beand@pr.erau.edu> if a
scanner is available to you.
We need to find a copy of:
Sir D'arcy Thompson's "On Growth and Form"
1917 Cambridge University, or reprint.
"Geoffrey F. Pawlicki" <geof@netcom.com>
Here is a list of a dozen new releases since the last Newsletter:

To: Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com>
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 10:58:15 -0500 (CDT)
This is a very short Project Gutenberg Newsletter announcing June's Etexts
Our prairienet.org fileservers will be down for perhaps a week, starting
on Friday, so we had to get everything posted now, so they would get to
our mirror sites before the downtime. Our other sites, listed below,
should have them all posted by Friday.
The Lost Pricess of Oz may be missing a page or two, if you have that
book in a paper edition, please let me know, and I will get more info.
I also need to hear from people who can help us proofread Dante in both
Italian and English.
Thanks so much,
Michael S. Hart

New major site for Eastern United States!
For those on the East Coast of the United States we have
sailor.gutenberg.org or 198.76.201.198 in Baltimore, MD.
This site should provide very fast service for both WWW
and FTP service.
***
In Europe, please try our site at:
Bucharest High School of Computer Science
Serving Central and Eastern Europe
ftp://ftp.lbi.ro/pub/Books/Gutenberg
and a new site up at:
http://www.informika.ru -- official server of the
Ministry of Education of Russia (the Russian part
of the server not equivalent to the English one).
http://www.informika.ru/windows/books/gutenb/list.html
This is only available on the Russian language side of
their system, but is pretty easy to see. Click on the
WINDOWS icon at the bottom of the main menu. Then, on
the lower left selection [the web names will pop up in
English] which is /books. The first one of that list,
The Palms Russian Public Library, is Project Gutenberg
Etexts in .zip format as mirrored from uiarchive.
and our newest:
ftp://ftp.pinknet.cz/pub/etext/gutenberg/ in the Czech Republic.

Subject: June Project Gutenberg Newsletter
From: "Michael S. Hart" <hart@prairienet.org>
To: Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com>
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 18:03:12 -0500 (CDT)
This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for Tuesday June 4, 1997
With this issue we have reached Etext #933, though we were a little
behind all of the month of May, we managed to catch up just in time.
*
Try "transend.com.tw:/mirrors/gutenberg/etext"
We have a new Etext site up and running in Taiwan, and are working,
hopefully to be ready in a month or two, on a site in Australia.
*
We really NEED some serious volunteers who are willing to help with
Etexts in other languages. . .this is VERY difficult for dyslexics,
such as myself, who normally use only Plain Vanilla ASCII programs.
*

Larry Owens, who is handling DNS for the Sailor Network, has pointed out
to me that all DNS-related problems and requests should be addressed to:
dns-admin@sailor.lib.md.us.
This includes DNS items for gutenberg.org . If you do a 'whois' on
gutenberg.org, you'll see that this is the address for the technical
www.ul.cs.cmu.edu These will also be available via FTP.

Books Index update from #737 to #750.
As has been the case for several years now, I try to publish something of
particular interest on the anniversary of the death of my father.
I have received permission to dedicate Project Gutenberg Etext #750 to Professor
H. H. Hart, today, December 10, 1996 on the 7th anniversary of his death.
He was instrumental in bringing Project Gutenberg to an even wider audience
than I could have.
Thanks Dad! The High History of the Holy Graal is for you. . .
