This is a preliminary edition. The final first edition should be on file around midnight, October 31, 1993. As usual, the margination in these reports may be rough, and another edition should appear, somewhat neater in appearance, as a Gutenberg volunteer will probably start work on this shortly. This file has been edited in such a manner as to delete redundancies [some, not all] and extra spaces [some, not all], enough that a file from Project Gutenberg should be enough smaller that storarge/search requirements should be reduced by 15 to 20%. To search for information on a specific country from the list below, search for *country: *Afganistan, for example.
