Subject: Project Gutenberg Newsletter, Pt. 1 of 2
**This is the Project Gutenberg Newsletter for July 31, 1992.**
Our Goal, To Give Away One Trillion Etexts By December 31, 2001
We should be at about 2.6 billion with release of the following
not counting pre-1991 releases: which are still in the process
of being dug out of our archives, new headers attached, and new
placement in new directories on our fileserver.
The July 1992 Project Gutenberg Etexts are:
Jul 1992 The Time Machine-HG Wells)(timem10x.xxx)
Jul 1992 The War of the Worlds-HGW)(warw10xx.xxx)
*This file is under 400 lines in length, and is about 10Kbytes*
Keep this newsletter, it is your "readme" file for the location
of all material currently posted at the University of Illinois,
[mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu . . . see below details and instructions]
and also contains information on how to retrieve our books from
East Coast, Central and West Coast locations and email and BBS.

*Please attach signature block(====)from end of email edition here.*
Here are the latest updates for FTP downloading of Project Gutenberg
etexts and others. These updates will be posted on several listserv
locations once a month. We hope we have answered most questions, as
new files, new locations, and new users arrive each month. We can't
answer queries about nameservers or how your local system runs FTP!!
Please try to help people get text files as we are not well prepared
to deal with sending items through the mail.
Brief instructions are followed by more detailed instructions.
Here are places you can pick up the Project Gutenberg Etexts
East to West
quake.think.com is in Massachusetts
Cleveland Freenet and NPTN are in Ohio
mrcnext is in Illinois
The Almanac server is in Oregon

St. Louis at Washington University
