Project Gutenberg Etext of Deuterocanonical Books of the Bible, also known as the Apocrypha, please remember that these are not not in their final form until the last day of the stated month. In this particular case, there has been some discussion on this as we had no titles received with these books: and uncertainty was also evident about what order to present them in.
April, 1994 [Etext #124]
The Deuterocanonical Books of the Bible, known as the Apocrypha ******This file should be named apoc10.txt or apoc10.zip*******
Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, apoc11.txt. VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, apoc10a.txt.
Encoded under the direction of Robert Kraft for distribution through the Center for Computer Analysis of Texts (CCAT) at the University of Pennsylvania. Robert Kraft
Bob Kraft, who produced these Etexts has been VERY kind in this and has allowed us to present them as we choose. However, I am short of time at the moment, and therefore am leaving them as I had them, other than placing his suggested titles in each book, as they appear to be more complete that what I used as I had no titles to begin with and had to expand from abbreviations. I am also including two suggested tables of contents, and ask that a reader feel free to reorder their own copies as desired; please do not repost modified copies in the name of Project Gutenberg, as we hope to have new editions out of our own. However, it is always the primary goal of Project Gutenberg to get these books out on time in a manner that is 99.9% accurate, which I hope we will have accomplished by the end of the month.
The purpose of release at this time is strictly to make this as available as possible for Easter, 1994, which is April 3.
We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance of the official release dates, for time for better editing. We have this as a goal to accomplish by the end of the year but we cannot guarantee to stay that far ahead every month after that.
Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. 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.

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $4 million dollars per hour this year as we release some eight text files per month: thus upping our productivity from $2 million.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by the December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by the end of the year 2001.
