Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till
midnight of the last day of the month stated in the above list.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so. To be sure you have an
up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
in the first week of the next month. Since our ftp program has
a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
new copy has at least one byte more or less.
The easiest way to get these files is to follow these instructions:
[exactly. . .Mac users, you will do better to TYPE these commands &
NOT to point and click. . .my experience is that these commands are
often CASE sensitive and that the Mac FTP emulators have windows to
enter your commands directly. . .if you have trouble with a point &
shoot operation, try entering the commands as written here]
If you happen to be using a program that CAPITALIZES THE FIRST WORD,
of any command you send, and since mrcnext is an UNIX NeXT machine--
this will cause problems.
