Fwd: Proposed CD Navigation Files now available for review
From: "John Hagerson" <j.hagerson@comcast.net> To: "'Aaron Cannon'" <cannona@fireantproductions.com> Subject: Proposed CD Navigation Files now available for review Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 08:04:16 -0600 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.6626
Four navigation files built for a new Project Gutenberg CD-ROM which contains primarily non-English electronic books are now available for review at http://www.aaronandgabby.com/pgcd/ The files allow one to browse the CD by Author, Language and Author, Language and Title, or Title.
The files were developed from the Project Gutenberg production prior to book 14700. The Distributed Proofreaders have been especially prolific in non-English books recently, so it seems that a number of books of recent production will be omitted regardless of where we draw the line.
I believe I have included every non-English book produced prior to 14700 with the exception of three books (7216, 7337, and 12407) where the title and author were both in Unicode characters that most fonts do not support. Each of the omitted works is in Chinese. If someone could help me obtain more information on these works, there is ample space to include them.
Please respond to the list or directly to mailto:j.hagerson@comcast.net with your comments regarding the files.
Thank you.
Aaron: Before you forward this to the list, please make sure that the http download works. My attempts to view the directory were met with a 403 error. Thank you.

Just one suggestion. How about a built in search function for specific titles and authors? Otherwise, this is going to be a real treasure! Le Fri, 28 Jan 2005 11:24:03 -0600, Aaron Cannon <cannona@fireantproductions.com> a écrit:
