This file should be named 22451.txt.



This and all associated files of various formats will be found in:

Updated editions will replace the previous one â the old editions will be

renamed.



Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no one

owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and

you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission

and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the

General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and

distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the Project

Gutenberg-tm concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered

trademark, and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you

receive specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of

this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook

for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,

performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given away

â you may do practically _anything_ with public domain eBooks.

Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial

redistribution.

forth in paragraph 1.E.8.





1.B.





"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or

associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be

bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can

do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works even without complying

a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you

follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to

Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.





1.C.





The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" or

PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project

Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the

collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual

work is in the public domain in the United States and you are located in

the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying,

distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on

the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of

course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of

promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project

Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for

keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can

easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the

same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when you

share it without charge with others.





1.D.





The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you

can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant

state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of

your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before

downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating

derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg-tm work.

The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of

any work in any country outside the United States.





1.E.





Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:





1.E.1.





The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access

to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently whenever

any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the phrase

"Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project Gutenberg"

is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or

distributed:





    This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with

    almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away

    or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License

    included with this eBook or online at http://www.gutenberg.org





1.E.2.





If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived from the

public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with

permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and

distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or

charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the

phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you

must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7

or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm

trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.





1.E.3.





If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted with the

permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply

with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed

by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project

Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the permission of the

copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.





1.E.4.

terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any

other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.





1.E.5.

work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying

the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate

access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg-tm License.





1.E.6.





You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed,

marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word

processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or

distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than

"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version posted

on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (http://www.gutenberg.org),

you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a

copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon

request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other form.

Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm License as

specified in paragraph 1.E.1.





1.E.7.





Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing,

copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works unless you comply

with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.





1.E.8.





You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or

distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided that



    - You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from

      the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method you

      already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to

      the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has agreed to

      donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg

      Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60

      days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally

      required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments

      should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg

      Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4,

      "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary

      Archive Foundation."



    - You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies

      you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he

      does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm License.

      You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the

      works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and

      all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm works.



    - You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

      any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

      electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of

      receipt of the work.



    - You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

      distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.





1.E.9.





If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this

agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from both the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael Hart, the owner of the

Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in

Section 3 below.





1.F.





1.F.1.





Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to

identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain

works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these

efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they

may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to,

incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright

or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk

or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot

be read by your equipment.





1.F.2.





LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES â Except for the "Right of

Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg

Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm

trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg-tm

electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for

damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE

NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH

OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE

FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,

PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY

OF SUCH DAMAGE.





1.F.3.





LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND â If you discover a defect in this

electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund

of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to

the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a

physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.

The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect

to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the

work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose

to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in

lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a

refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.





1.F.4.





Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in

paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you âAS-IS,â WITH NO OTHER

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.





1.F.5.





Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the

exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or

limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state

applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make

the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state

law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement

shall not void the remaining provisions.





1.F.6.





INDEMNITY â You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark

owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of

Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and

any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution

of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs

and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from

any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of

this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or

additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect

you cause.





Section  2.





           Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm





Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic

works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including

obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the

efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks

of life.



Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance

they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tmâs goals and ensuring

that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for

generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for

Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations

can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at

http://www.pglaf.org.

Section 4.





  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

                                Foundation





Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread

public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the

number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed

in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment

including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are

particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.



The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable

effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these

requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not

received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or

determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit

http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate



While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have

not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against

accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us

with offers to donate.



International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any

statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the

United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.



Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods

and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including

checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please

visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate





Section 5.





      General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.





Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm

concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with

anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm

eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.



Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions,

all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright

notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance

with any particular paper edition.



Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBookâs eBook

number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed

(zipped), HTML and others.



Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the

old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed.

_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving

new filenames and etext numbers.



Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:





    http://www.gutenberg.org





This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how

to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,

how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email

newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
