- Project Gutenberg posted President Clinton's Inaugural Speech last week,
- but our copyright advisor was sure the poem is copyrighted.
-
- If anyone can verify this, we would certainly appreciate it.
-
- Meanwhile, you can get the Inaugural Address as follows:
-
- ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
- login anonymous
- password yourname@your.machine
- cd etext (type this command in yourself. . .don't point and click)
- cd etext93 (same)
- dir (to see which clintonx.xxx file to get. . .get the highest number)
- get clinton3.txt (is the current file)
- quit
