***This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for October 1993***
Our Goal, To Give Away One Trillion Etexts By December 31, 2001

*[10,000 titles to 100,000,000 people equals 1,000,000,000,000]

**Welcome To The World of Free Plain Vanilla Electronic Texts**

**Etexts Readable By Both Humans and By Computers, Since 1971**

*These Etexts Prepared By Hundreds of Volunteers and Donations*


Introduction:  The Project Gutenberg Newsletter reflects a long
history of 22 years, in which various pieces have been added or
deleted, cut and pasted, etc. to make an informative collection
of notes about Electronic Texts.  In that process it has become
somewhat archaic and will be undergoing modifications to become
more up to date in its "user interface" so that the "new" users
will be somewhat more comfortable with the format and the info.

However, because your local systems are still so different, our
instructions for using FTP, email and other programs must be as
elementary as possible.  You will still need to find your local
gurus to ask about the installation and detailed operation of a
set of programs running on your hardware.  However, we HAVE the
EMAIL101 book, Zen and the Art of the Internet, Surfing, and an
assortment of other Internet classics in our etext library once
you figure out how to get that far.

If any of you would be willing to rewrite the newsletter so the
appearance will be better, it would certainly be appreciated.


Hot Items!

Project Gutenberg congratulates Internet Wiretap and the Oxford
Text Archives on increased creation and distribution of Etexts.

further information is included below.  We need your donations.

We now have a volunteer to mail disks!  See below.

Index to all etexts from 1/1/91 to 8/1/93 included below.  More
of our etexts are available around the networks than we keep on
line at our own location.  We post only the most recent etexts.


Project Gutenberg is testing a new indexing program.

You can get this index, which is updated daily, by:

If each book goes to 100 million people by the end of 2001 then
we should be at about 8.3 billion with release of the following
not counting pre-1990 releases:  which are still in the process
of being dug out of our archives, new headers attached, and new
placement in new directories on our new 600M fileserver.  Thank
you NeXT, for loaning us that machine!!!  Thanks also to Apple,
Calera, CTA (TextPert), IBM and Caere.

End Paper Edition of the October, 1993 Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
*Please attach signature block(====)from end of email edition here.*

Here are the latest updates for FTP downloading of Project Gutenberg
etexts and others.  These updates will be posted on several listserv
locations once a month.  We hope we have answered most questions, as
new files, new locations, and new users arrive each month.  We can't
answer queries about nameservers or how your local system runs FTP!!

Please try to help people get text files as we are not well prepared
to deal with sending items through the mail.

Brief instructions are followed by more detailed instructions.

Here are places you can pick up the Project Gutenberg Etexts

East to West (details below)
quake.think.com is in Massachusetts
Cleveland Freenet and NPTN are in Ohio
mrcnext is in Illinois

same organization, though Tom Grundner is involved with both.
