Roget Thesaurus
This is the 12/91 Project Gutenberg release of Roget's Thesaurus
We are releasing it early because so many of you will be off the
networks for the holidays and we would like to give you a chance
to download it and give it to any appropriate people you know as
a Christmas or Channukah or whatever present.
***This is the Project Gutenberg Etext of Roget's Thesaurus.***
*****This file should be named roget13.txt or roget10.zip******
Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, xxxxxx11.txt.
VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, xxxxx10a.txt.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about one million dollars for each hour we work. One
hundred hours is a conservative estimate for how long it we take
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar, then we produce a
million dollars per hour; next year we will have to do four text
files per month, thus upping our productivity to two million/hr.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
Files by the December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers.
We need your donations more than ever!
All donations should be made to "Project Gutenberg/IBC", and are
tax deductible to the extent allowable by law ("IBC" is Illinois
Benedictine College). (Subscriptions to our paper newsletter go
to IBC, too)
Send to:
David Turner, Project Gutenberg

All communication to Project Gutenberg should be carried out via
Illinois Benedictine College unless via email. This is for help
in keeping me from being swept under by paper mail as follows:
1. Too many people say they are including SASLE's and aren't.
2. Paper communication just takes too long when compared to the
thousands of lines of email I receive every day. Even then,
I can't communicate with people who take too long to respond
as I just can't keep their trains of thought alive for those
extended periods of time. Even quick responses should reply
with the text of the messages they are answering (reply text
option in RiceMail). This is more difficult with paper.
3. People request disks without specifying which kind of disks,
it can be very difficult to read an Apple disk on an IBM. I
have also received too many disks that cannot be formatted.
My apologies.
We would strongly prefer to send you this information by email

****START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START****
Why is this "small print" statement here? You know: lawyers.
They tell us that we could get sued if there is something wrong
with your copy of this etext, even if what's wrong is not our
fault, and even if you got it for free and from someone other
than us. So, among other things, this "small print" statement
disclaims most of the liability we could have to you if some-
thing is wrong with your copy.
This "small print" statement also tells you how to distribute
copies of this etext if you want to. As explained in greater
detail below, if you distribute such copies you may be required
to pay us if you distribute using our trademark, and if we get
sued in connection with your distribution.
*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
By using or reading any part of the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext
that follows this statement, you indicate that you agree to and
accept the following terms, conditions and disclaimers. If you
do not understand them, or do not agree to and accept them, then
[1] you may not read or use the etext, and [2] you will receive
a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it on request within
30 days of receiving it. If you received this etext on a
hysical medium (such as a disk), you must return the physical
medium with your request and retain no copies of it.
ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
etexts, is a "Public Domain" work distributed by Professor
Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association (the
"Project"). Among other things, this means that no one owns a
United States copyright on or for this work, so the Project (and
you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
permission and without paying royalties. Special rules, set
forth below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
under the Project's "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable efforts
to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain works.
Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any medium they
may be on may contain errors and defects (collectively, the
"Defects"). Among other things, such Defects may take the form
of incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors,
unauthorized distribution of a work that is not in the public
domain, a defective or damaged disk or other etext medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read
by your equipment.
DISCLAIMER
As to every real and alleged Defect in this etext and any medium
it may be on, and but for the "Right of Replacement or Refund"
described below, [1] the Project (and any other party you may
receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) dis-
claims all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLI-
GENCE OR UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
CONTRACT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND
If you received this etext in a physical medium, and the medium
was physically damaged when you received it, you may return it
within 90 days of receiving it to the person from whom you
received it with a note explaining such Defects. Such person
will give you, in his or its discretion, a replacement copy of
the etext or a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it.
If you received it electronically and it is incomplete, inaccu-
rate or corrupt, you may send notice within 90 days of receiving
it to the person from whom you received it describing such
Defects. Such person will give you, in his or its discretion, a
second opportunity to receive it electronically, or a refund of
the money (if any) you paid to receive it.
Aside from this limited warranty, THIS ETEXT IS PROVIDED TO YOU
AS-IS". NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
ARE MADE TO YOU AS TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers, exclusions and limitations may not apply to
you. This "small print" statement gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights.
IF YOU DISTRIBUTE THIS ETEXT
You agree that if you distribute this etext or a copy of it to
anyone, you will indemnify and hold the Project, its officers,
members and agents harmless from all liability, cost and ex-
pense, including legal fees, that arise by reason of your
distribution and either a Defect in the etext, or any alter-
ation, modification or addition to the etext by you or for which
you are responsible. This provision applies to every distribu-
tion of this etext by you, whether or not for profit or under
the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
You agree that if you distribute one or more copies of this
etext under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark (whether electron-
ically, or by disk, book or any other medium), you will:
[1] Only give exact copies of it. Among other things, this re-
quires that you do not remove, alter or modify the etext or
this "small print!" statement. You may however, if you
wish, distribute this etext in machine readable binary,
compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form, including any
form resulting from conversion by word processing or hyper-
text software, but only so long as *EITHER*:
[*] The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable. We
consider an etext *not* clearly readable if it
contains characters other than those intended by the
author of the work, although tilde (~), asterisk (*)
and underline (_) characters may be used to convey
punctuation intended by the author, and additional
characters may be used to indicate hypertext links.
[*] The etext may be readily converted by the reader at no
expense into in plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent form
by the program that displays the etext (as is the
case, for instance, with most word processors).
[*] You provide, or agree to also provide on request at no
additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the etext
in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC or
other equivalent proprietary form).
[2] Honor the terms and conditions applicable to distributors
under the "RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND" set forth above.
[3] Pay a trademark license fee of 20% (twenty percent) of the
net profits you derive from distributing this etext under
the trademark, determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practices. The license fee:
[*] Is required only if you derive such profits. In
distributing under our trademark, you incur no
obligation to charge money or earn profits for your
distribution.
[*] Shall be paid to "Project Gutenberg Association /
Illinois Benedictine College" (or to such other person
as the Project Gutenberg Association may direct)
within the 60 days following each date you prepare (or
were legally required to prepare) your year-end
federal income tax return with respect to your profits
for that year.
WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
The Project gratefully accepts contributions in money, time,
scanning machines, OCR software, public domain etexts, royalty
free copyright licenses, and every other sort of contribution
you can think of. Money should be paid to "Project Gutenberg
Association / Illinois Benedictine College".

The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so. To be sure you have an
up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
in the first week of the next month. Since our ftp program has
a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
new copy has at least one byte more or less.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar, then we produce 2
million dollars per hour this year we, will have to do four text
files per month: thus upping our productivity from one million.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
Files by the December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is 10% of the expected number of computer users by the end
of the year 2001.

Devil's Dictionary
The Internet Wiretap 1st Online Edition of
THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY
by
AMBROSE BIERCE
Entered by Aloysius of &tSftDotIotE

AUTHOR'S PREFACE
_The Devil's Dictionary_ was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was
continued in a desultory way at long intervals until 1906. In that year a
large part of it was published in covers with the title _The Cynic's Word
Book_, a name which the author had not the power to reject or happiness to
approve. To quote the publishers of the present work:
"This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by
the religious scruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the
work had appeared, with the natural consequence that when it came out in
covers the country already had been flooded by its imitators with a score
of 'cynic' books -- _The Cynic's This_, _The Cynic's That_, and _The
Cynic's t'Other_. Most of these books were merely stupid, though some of
them added the distinction of silliness. Among them, they brought the
word 'cynic' into disfavor so deep that any book bearing it was
discredited in advance of publication."
Meantime, too, some of the enterprising humorists of the country
had helped themselves to such parts of the work as served their needs, and
many of its definitions, anecdotes, phrases and so forth, had become more
or less current in popular speech. This explanation is made, not with any
pride of priority in trifles, but in simple denial of possible charges of
plagiarism, which is no trifle. In merely resuming his own the author
hopes to be held guiltless by those to whom the work is addressed --
enlightened souls who prefer dry wines to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit
to humor and clean English to slang.
A conspicuous, and it is hope not unpleasant, feature of the book
is its abundant illustrative quotations from eminent poets, chief of whom
is that learned and ingenius cleric, Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J., whose
lines bear his initials. To Father Jape's kindly encouragement and
assistance the author of the prose text is greatly indebted.
A.B.
