- Subject: Clinton's Address, Version 3
- Lines: 52
-
- Several details:
-
- All three files are still posted: clinton1 2 and 3.txt
-
- Control Z end-of-file markers have been removed.
- Trailing spaces have been removed.
- An extraneous * has been removed.
-
- The longest line is exactly 80 characters.
-
- If there are enough requests, we can produce one with shorter lines,
- and/or shorter paragraphs.
-
- Even though most other agencies reporting the Inaugural Address are
- content not to report corrected versions, Project Gutenberg is most
- willing to do so, it is part of our standard procedure.
-
- If you can proofread our version with any other copies, and send us
- the discrepancies, we would appreciate it, and do another version.
-
- (This should not include margination, paragraphing, punctuation, or
- similar things, but should include singulars substituted as plurals
- and any other substantive errors. [There is one grammatical error,
- and I didn't feel like correcting the president, or not reporting a
- totally accurate transcription.] There is one person who suggested
- we should include our source: since our staff listened live: what
- should we report as the source, besides Clinton, himself?)
-
- This same person reported that the cd instructions did not work for
- an "xferit" program on his Mac. He said a preliminary cd pub would
- be required. . .as below:
-
- ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
- login anonymous
- password yourname@your.machine
- cd pub
- cd etext
- cd etext 93
- (or you can try cd pub/etext/etext93)
- (or you can try get pub/etext/etext93/clinton3.txt)
- get clinton3.txt
- quit
