The text files listed below either originally appeared on the WingmakersTM First Source Volume I CD-ROM, or have become available since its release; and in either case are available in .PDF format through the WingMakers' Web site. The listed files are copyright © by WingMakers LLC, All Rights Reserved, rendered into HTML format, with permission, by J. Harmon Grahn, and may be reproduced, in whole or in part, in any medium, provided the following generic statement is also conveyed:
There are certain typographical and page layout differences between the HTML files listed below and the .PDF originals from which they were derived. The reason for this is to maximize accessibility by making them as simple as possible. Therefore, the HTML coding is in deliberate compliance with the HTML 3.2 specification as recommended by the W3C, and the graphic images that in some instances appear in the originals are excluded from their HTML counterparts collected here. The original text is set in various "sans serif" fonts; however, for the sake of simplicity it was deemed best to allow the HTML files to appear in the default font displayed by the browser viewing them. Additionally, all "special characters" in the originals, not included in the basic ASCII keyboard character set, have been replaced with their standard ASCII counterparts; e.g. "hyphens" replace all "em-dashes" in the original text; "intelligent quotes," single and double, have been replaced by their standard ASCII keyboard counterparts; single-character ellipsis (...) have been replaced by a succession of three dots. Also, constructions of the kind, "this/that" have been rendered as "this / that," in order to facilitate graceful word wrapping for unpredictably sized text blockes displayed upon unpredictably sized screens. The original .PDF files are paginated, and to facilitate locating quotes within their HTML counterparts, it was felt useful in most cases to retain this pagination. Accordingly, there is a parenthetical notation of the form, [page N of M] embedded in the HTML text, corresponding to a page break in the original .PDF file. However, pagination is not in all cases exactly duplicated, because in the original files paragraphs sometimes straddle page breaks. It was felt, due to the nature of how HTML pages are displayed, that such page breaks should be inserted at the beginning, or in rare instances at the end, of the paragraph in which they occur, instead of exactly where they occur within the original text. The resulting HTML files have been compared, paragraph by paragraph, with their .PDF counterparts, and occasional typographic errors have been encountered within the original text. In instances where the error and its correction are obvious, such as the failure to close quotes at the end of a quotation, the error has been corrected, and noted in an invisible comment within the source HTML code. In instances where the error or possible irregularity is of a more "peculiar" nature, such as in First Interview of Dr. Jamisson Neruda, page 9, the notation [sic] is inserted beside the element in doubt. If you wish to comment upon, or point out errors in, the following files, you may contact me by e-mail at harmon@harmonhouse.net. Love & Light, [J. Harmon Grahn, Editor]
