I prepared ("postprocessed" at Distributed Proofreaders) also a Unicode (UTF-8) version of this book, but it doesn't seem to have made it to posting at PG. The UTF-8 elements were all pronunciation symbols, which one might expect to be important in such a book. I'm currently working on another volume in this series, with similar symbols. I've also been working on a book on Native American sign language, which contains a good number of special symbols used in transcribing the NA spoken languages, also requiring UTF-8. So my first question is, did my Unicode version just get lost somewhere? (I usually upload directly to PG but submitted this one the long way around through DP's "Post-Processing Verification" system so someone else would take a look at it, since it was my first attempt at Unicode.) Second, if not, are Unicode versions welcome? Bill Flis

Hi Bill, Unicode is very welcome. Here is the note I sent to Frank this morning and should have sent a copy to you. Hi Frank, I have been toying with this file for several days. The original problem was your provision of two html files one Latin-1 and one Unicode. We can only post one html file in the directory for the eBook. There is one way around this (and the one I was thinking of trying) which is to make a main html file with a links to the two html files you provided. However this went down the drain when I found the utf-8 html file has an invalid CSS statement (see the attached W3C CSS validation report). So I elected to post the valid Latin-1 html file and the text file alone. If you object to my approach kindly provide a file such as I suggested above with links to both html files and be sure that all the html files validate on all three W3C checks. Thanks, David PS. I sent Frank a copy of the CSS validator report but no longer have it--something about not allowing content in the prolog which I did not understand. DW
