have a ways to go.]
This is file 8plno07.txt
The 8 means this version is in 8 bit ASCII and includes accents. The 7
bit version without accents will be called 7plno07.txt
The 07's mean this is the 7th edition. . .we usually do not post any
editions until the 10th, but we need more help this time, so we are
starting earlier.
We are still working on new filenameing techniques-- suggestions are
encouraged.

We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance of the
official release dates, for time for better editing.
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.
Information about Project Gutenberg
(one page)
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 $2 million dollars per hour this
year as we release thirty-two text files per month: or 400 more Etexts in
1996 for a total of 800. If these reach just 10% of the computerized
population, then the total should reach 80 billion Etexts. We will try
add 800 more, during 1997, but it will take all the effort we can manage
to do the doubling of our library again this year, what with the other
massive requirements it is going to take to get incorporated and
establish something that will have some permanence.
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 only
10% of the present number of computer users. 2001 should have at
least twice as many computer users as that, so it will require us
reaching less than 5% of the users in 2001.
We need your donations more than ever!
