The
etext in question is #3441. The underlying files are located in etext02,
and named 71001107.txt (7-bit) and 71001108.txt (8-bit), plus their zip
files. There's no HTML version, hence no illustrations. Footnotes
are indicated by [FN#1], [FN#2], etc. The footnotes themselves (all 460 of
them) are collected at file-end. If page numbers are indicated in the
file, I can't figure out where or how, so they're probably not
there.
I
mentioned that this was one of a multi-volume set. There are 16 volumes,
of which this is volume 7. The entire set's etext numbers are 3435-3450,
the file names are from 11001107.* to g1001107.*, all files in etext02.
The last number of the file name is 7 for a 7-bit file or 8 for an 8-bit
file, plus a zip file for each, i.e. 4 files for each
volume.
The 7-bit files can be ignored, since the
corrected 8-bit text file (and a new HTML file, if one is prepared) would be
processed by PG's posting software, which will generate a new 7-bit text
file.
As I
mentioned in another thread, the existing credits will be transferred to any new
version, with correctors' names added.
Gutvol-d doesn't handle attachments, so I'm prepared to
send the list of proposed corrections off-list as an attachment, or I can post
it as part of this thread (which is probably better, since anyone interested can
get it, and I won't be bothered with sending it to bunches of
people).

Al, I may be able to help you with this. If the text includes the page
numbers and footnotes using one of the standard DP markup schemes, I can
convert that automatically into better page numbers and footnotes, and we may
be able to handle cross-references the same way I do with Encyclopedia
Britannica.
The text errors still need someone with an editor, of course.
As
an extreme example, I've got an errata report on my hands that's
3400
lines long, that I haven't had the courage to plow through yet.
The
reporter lists something wrong on almost every one of the book's
nearly
400 pages. On top of that, he'd like an HTML version created
with
the footnotes cross-linked and from what I can tell, the page
numbers
inserted because there are internal references to them.
The
reported-on text is one volume of a series, so fixing/reposting
it
will take it out of sync with the rest. Probably simpler to
figure
out the source edition and run the whole series through DP, to
replace
the current
files.
