This is a preliminary edition. The final first edition should be onfile around midnight, October 31, 1993.
As usual, the margination in these reports may be rough, and anotheredition should appear, somewhat neater in appearance, as a Gutenbergvolunteer will probably start work on this shortly.
This file has been edited in such a manner as to delete redundancies[some, not all] and extra spaces [some, not all], enough that a filefrom Project Gutenberg should be enough smaller that storarge/searchrequirements should be reduced by 15 to 20%.
