If you require double-density, rather than high-density disks for your system, please make that clear in your order, and expect delivery to take a bit longer. (That may mean you receive more disks, but the price is the same for the same information.) Most of this information is provided in plain, unenhanced text form, to make it easy for you to import it into your favorite word processing program. The exception is texts obtained from the Oxford Archive. Marked "SGML" in our list, these have coding which enhances the text for those who are equipped to read it. The code indicates such features as chapter headings, pagination, emphasis (such as italics), and also foreign accent marks. Those who do not have SGML capability will find the markings a relatively minor nuisance, which does not deter from the readability and usefulness of the text. Most of our IBM-formatted disks also include a public-domain program READ.EXE (from the U.S. Department of Commerce) which makes it easy to read and search plain text documents.
