The catalogue currently indicates an 1842 -10 html and 1842-11 txt. Previously I had a 1842-10 txt which no longet appears. These appear to be all the same text, although 1842-10.txt and t842-11.txt differ in length by 2K bytes (change in header?). The source for all was apparently Judy Boss, and as there will be no errors in her text, unless she herself submitted it twice, all the texts should be identical. Since the html was converted from Boss's text there is the possibility of an error in the conversion. The html capitalizes the 1st letter of each chapter, not in the original etext. Otherwise a robot conversion. Too bad all the versions do not appear on the catalogue list. N Wolcott nwolcott2@post.harvard.edu

Hi Norm. Until just recently, the catalog only showed two files for #1842: strgf11.txt, and strgf11.zip. This is a result of the catalog working the way it was intended to, and only showing the most recent "edition" of a given text. In this case, there was an html version of the 10 edition which was not updated when the edition 11 text file was posted. At the request of another volunteer, on Sunday, January 23rd, I made a change so that the html and corresponding zip file would display in the catalog as well. If it helps, here is what the catalog "thinks it knows" for files in the archive associated with PG#1842: etext99/strgf10h.htm 1842_ 10 [ ] [HTML________________________] [iso-8859-1____] [none___] 575 KB etext99/strgf10h.zip 1842_ 10 [ ] [HTML________________________] [iso-8859-1____] [zip____] 212 KB etext99/strgf11.txt 1842_ 11 [ ] [Plain text__________________] [unknown_______] [none___] 552 KB etext99/strgf11.zip 1842_ 11 [ ] [Plain text__________________] [unknown_______] [zip____] 202 KB etext99/strgf10.txt 1842_ 10 [X] [Plain text__________________] [unknown_______] [none___] 554 KB etext99/strgf10.zip 1842_ 10 [X] [Plain text__________________] [unknown_______] [zip____] 206 KB On Tue, 25 Jan 2005, N Wolcott wrote:
