I have talked to Bill, Bob and Valerie Hustwit at LOTF several times and
am of the definite impression that the works contained on the LOTF are ~NOT~
in the Public Domain (at least in the form in which they are presented in
most cases, and in particular in the specific case of A. Conan Doyle as
mentioned by the author. I have already received a call back from them
confirming their etexts were NOT intended to be Public Domain, and were
not to be considered as such. Michael S. Hart

For anyone tempted to pay over $800 for the Pioneer Laser Disc Player
plus three undesignated discs, the *New York Times* for the last several
Sundays has had ads for the Pioneer CLD1080 laser player for $356. Roy
