[This e-text comes in three forms: Unicode (UTF-8), Latin-1 and ASCII.
Use the one that works best on your text reader.

  --If apostrophes and quotation marks are "curly" or angled, you have
  the UTF-8 version (best). If any part of this paragraph displays as
  garbage, try changing your text reader's "character set" or "file
  encoding". If that doesn't work, proceed to:
  --In the Latin-1 version, "ae" is a single letter but apostrophes and
  quotation marks will be straight ("typewriter" form). Again, if you
  see any garbage in this paragraph and can't get it to display
  properly, use:
  --The ASCII-7 or rock-bottom version. All necessary text will still be
  there; it just won't be as pretty.

Text printed in blackletter ("Gothic") type is shown between +marks+.]
