The Northeast Association for Computers and the Humanities invites
you to Room 25A of the IBM Building, 590 Madison Avenue at 57th Street
in New York City on Tuesday, APRIL 28, 1992, at 1:30 p.m. to hear Prof.
MICHAEL HART discuss the GUTENBERG ELECTRONIC TEXT PROJECT to collect
and distribute a large number of literary and humanistic texts in
electronic form. (This meeting was previously scheduled for May 12 and

domain status, typeface representation in electronic text, text
markup, distribution and duplication, downloading, and providing user
support. Michael S. Hart is Professor of Electronic Text and
