Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U. S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

[This e-text comes in three forms: Unicode (UTF-8), Latin-1 and ASCII.
Use the one that works best on your text reader.

--If apostrophes and quotation marks are "curly" or angled, you have
the UTF-8 version (best). If any part of this paragraph displays as
garbage, try changing your text reader's "character set" or "file
encoding". If that doesn't work, proceed to:
--In the Latin-1 version, "ae" is a single letter but apostrophes and
quotation marks will be straight ("typewriter" form). Again, if you
see any garbage in this paragraph and can't get it to display
properly, use:
--The ASCII-7 or rock-bottom version. All necessary text will still be
there; it just won't be as pretty.

Text printed in blackletter ("Gothic") type is shown between +marks+. ]
