The longer list (LitUpd020628longRTF, 25pp at size 12, in RTF) will also be provided by me, at this stage, upon request as an e-mail attachment. It provides some further details, suggestions, quotes, comments and dialog, on most of the entries below.

Further available, upon request, as an e-mail attachment, in RTF, is a brainstorming record on the project, still unedited, but alphabetized, of 60 pages, or 343 Kbs, in file LibertyCDlongAlphRTFJune02.

One of my articles on this subject: On the Fate of Books and Manuscripts, 30 Kbs in RTF, 22 Kbs in TXT, is also available from me via e-mail.

So is a short, 19 Kbs only, in TXT, survey of more general CD-ROMs that are offered and of some interest to some libertarians at least. It consists of extracts from information in one of the largest guides to the text CD-ROMs on offer. File: CD ROM Directories ANL txt

Some older and lengthy notes on the project can also be found in John Humphrey's libertarian library site.

Wanted: A popular libertarian website to host this list, together with a program for self-entries. But reproduction on lesser known sites would also be welcomed. Dagny has already instructed her webmaster to include this list. Hopefully, a self-entry option will be added later. Hubert Jongen and Christian Butterbach may do the same. If still more follow suit then a common entry point for self-entries should be agreed upon on a website. When will the first 100, 300, 3,000 entries be reached? How many will be needed to make this kind of listing superfluous?

==================================================================================

How many libertarian Mbs can and will you contribute towards a complete libertarian publishing, library & information service on ca. 300 CD-ROMs, with all the desirable reference works, linked, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica on CD-ROM, to Internet sites? Get entered in the still small but growing list of interested people for the cooperative filling of CD-ROMs, all produced only upon demand. They are, currently, still the cheapest, easiest, most powerful, wide-spread & durable enough alternative medium for all freedom books etc. For further details see: www.geocities.com/libertarian_library/ or write to me. - PIOT, John Zube, Libertarian Microfiche Publishing: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube & http://butterbach.net/lmp/lmp_sup.htm - jzube@acenet.com.au - or: P.O.

"… it is good that there are those who walk beside us." - Conclusion of Rob Chilson: Walk With Me,

in ANALOG 5/82.

A "spontaneous order" and anarchistic collaboration list - suggesting to volunteers how and with whom they

might come to collaborate to produce and distribute their kinds of pro-freedom CDs.

Different people have different approaches to problems - and the practitioners of any one of them are likely

to have trouble seeing the validity of others." - Sam Nicholson, Shake It All The Time, in ANALOG, March

29, 1982, pages 94/95.

While there is little doubt on the microeconomics of CD-ROM text publishing: "There are often clear-cut

rounds for judging which of two approaches to a problem is superior - on purely technical grounds. When

human beings and cultures must also be considered, the matter becomes a good deal more complicated."

- David Lewis, Karnev's World, in ANALOG, Dec. 7, 1981, p. 60.

"Some things take so many tiny steps to achieve that no fully reasonable being would bother to try.

But only those willing to take the first step have any chance at the goal …"

4LITERATURE LIBRARY ON CD-ROM: "Buy more than 2,000 literary works on a single CD-ROM for only $ 19.99. That's less than a penny per book!" Among them, listed online, on 34 pages, are many of interest to libertarians. www.4literature.net

ABSHIRE, BRIAN M., Rev., The Chalcedon Foundation, April 1997: "The need for big books will always be there, but now, entire libraries can be put on CD-ROM, with fantastic search capabilities. Computers and the cheap publishing costs will also allow us to target specific niches in the market. We can identify specific needs, create multimedia presentations aimed at that need, and put the information directly into people's hands." abshire@ix.netcom.com. The Chalcedon Foundation represents Christian, Conservative & Libertarian views. Its founder, Rev. R.J. Rushdoony, opposed legal tender paper money and the over-population notions.

ACTIVATE NETWORK www.activate.8m.com/project.htm Site recommended by Hugh Trevelyan (see below) of Anarchist Yellow Pages. copsaretops@hotmail.com They did intend to offer the best anarchist texts on a CD-ROM but did not continue with this project beyond a long URL list. Some of its young people may take it up again later.

Comments and Suggestions to nwdtt@nira.go.jp / www.nirq.go.jp NIRA's World Directory of Think Tanks. National Institute for Research Advancement (NIRA). How many other think tanks were thoughtful or poor enough to produce anything of their research on CD-ROM?

AGNOSTOPOULOS, ATHAN, Greek Writings and Words, an electronic compilation. "...this scholar is building a giant database on Europe's oldest language." smh, 24.3.01. Then he was 68. "So far, he 50 million words." ...

The purpose is to "include the entire corpus of Greek writers."

" With this hint the University of Minnesota library points out 3 microfilm collections of the Underground newspapers.

AN-OK TA CHAI, yan_ock@lycos.com 26.12.01: "Anarchist books on CD-ROM business. … I read your letter in the recent issue of magzine "Anarchy: A Journal Of Desire Armed", # 52, Fall/Winter. My name is (I)An-ok Ta Chai, and I'm a self-proclaimed 'Anarcho-Computer Nerd'. J - Me and a friend of mine are interested in working with you on the Anarchist books-onCD-ROM project as a money-making business. We are both well-read (in both the left and the right) anarchists, and we are both experienced with computers, CD burners, scanning and OCR soft-ware. We are willing and able to work with you on this as a full-time job, however, we would like to have enough income coming from this in order to pay for our bare essentials to live. - So, this brings up the question - how can we turn this into a money-making business? Even more tricky is, how do we do this if you live in Australia and we live in the U.S.? Despite our anarchist knowledge and computer knowledge, we do not have knowledge with starting new business. - We are both extremely excited about this project, and would even be willing to move to Australia to help you work on this. However, like I said, we would want to be able to afford for our bare necessities to covered by this. - We are both eagerly awaiting your reply and want to open up a meaningful, constructive and productive dialogue around this." - I wrote them a long reply on the same day and deflated their optimism. So far there is no income in sight from this project but mainly only labors of love. If some of those interested are financial enough to pay others something for these labors of love - all the better. So far, on my short list, there seem to be no such people. If it sufficiently expands, they might get entered as well. Also people with management talent. I suggested to them that they could work on the project where they are, in their spare time, and try to sell their product through the anarchist periodicals and websites.

APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY SOURCEBOOK, "A shared set of Appropriate Technology Sourcebook--an indexed collection of 150,000 pages available on fiche or CD-ROM for $495--is probably the best single thing that a cluster of Third World villages could have." - Kevin Carson in: A "Political" Program for Anarchists. (At least some monetary freedom & cooperative production ideas have penetrated into this platform. At least in some circles anarchist thinking is on the move.)

ARCHIVAL BOOKS, www.archivalbooks.cominfor@archivalbooks.com offers 10 CDs on US & World History & 15 on War History, each containing from 2-32 books. Among them the Abraham Lincoln Collection of 6 books and the 2 CDs on the History of Rome & the Roman People might be of interest to libertarians.

BACKWOODS HOME MAGAZINE, "practical ideas for self-reliant living". "9 Print Anthologies, 11 CD Anthologies plus a free 2-year subscription … save $ 144." Special: Any print or CD anthology only $ 10. Ave $ 2.95 - $ 9.95 each.

"Del Signore suggestes it is time for Americans to start refusing to comply with unconstitutional laws and edicts at all levels of government." - www.free-market.net/rd664168590.html Their 11 CD-ROM Anthologies: 1) Years 7-10 (1996-99): $ 19.95, 2) BHMs 11^th year, 2000, $ 12,95, 3.)

Best of Richard Blunt6, $ 12.95. - It still produces current issues in print on paper. - Not a bad combination, seeing the remaining addiction to "paper tigers". Some time ago I was offered the rights to AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR for A $ 2,000 but was not interested in paying as much for such material, seeing my great backlog of free material. However, someone might be able and willing to turn it into a successful CD-ROM edition. Freedom is also about survival, at every level. Christian noticed on their website and ad for www.modernsurvival.net The Magazine of Freedom and Independent Thought. Let's try to assure the survival of all libertarian writings, at least on CD-ROMs, and, perhaps, thereby, our own survival. "Del Signore suggested it is time for Americans to start refusing to comply with unconstitutional laws and edicts at all levels of government." - www.free-market.net/rd664168590.html

CHAMPION, RAFE, rchamp@bigpond.net.au On 31 March 01 he replied: "Will consider the possibility of CD rom publication as you suggest." http://zap.to/rafechampion

CHOMSKY, NOAM, I noticed 2 multi-media CD-ROMs by this famous or infamous leftist and somewhat anarchistic writer, Noam Chomsky. Both were offered expensively (by JURA BOOKS with its low costs plus charges) and contained only the equivalent of one or two books or long lectures each - instead of 200 - 2,000 in full texts, without pictures and movie clips. Even THE LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE contains more genuine freedom texts in its single CD-ROM than these 2 "anarchistic" multi-media offers did - but only in plain text. I was not tempted by that "anarchist's" CD-ROM offer at all or by any of his many bound books. However, he seems to have been the first "anarchist" to have made use of this publishing medium. For that I can respect him. In April 01 AK Press advertised 2 audio CDs by him, these or additional ones: "In the first disc he speaks about the murky blood-soaked reality of America's New World Order - whether it's NAFTA, GATT and MAI, or our relations with Palestine, Israel, Haiti and China. The second disk has his lecture focusing on the motives and consequences of US Iraq policy - a continuing (though hardly unique) shiny example of murderous hypocrisy at its most lethal." - I'm not not prepared to pay for his bias in print or on a CD. - J.Z.

"Chomsky, Noam: Classics in politics. CD-Rom met de volledige teksten van Class Warfare, The Culture of Terrorism, Fateful triangle, Necessary illusions, Powers & Prospects, Turning the Tide, World Orders, Old and New.

CONSULTATIVE GROUP FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AGRI-CULTURAL RESEARCH (CGIAR), Compact Agricultural Library, Full-Text Cd-Rom Libraries For International Development, a 25-disc collection, consisting of 5,500 books and reports and representing one of the largest integrated CD-ROM collections under production. "The benefits of CD-ROM over online include: Cost Savings, Access to More Primary Information, Greater Reliability." - Matilda Butler in her report about this library.

When will we get the libertarian equivalent together?

CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL STUDIES, Political Studies Association of the UK,. An integrated edition of the complete Contemporary Political Studies, 1994-97, including the full set of over 500 papers in 4 years of CPS, is now available on CD-ROM. This edition, with fast and full indexing and search facilities, is the ideal tool for finding that definitive reference or building up a bibliography. CPS CD-ROM is available now from the PSA, priced at just £10 for all those who attended the 1997 Annual Conference in Jordanstown. Otherwise, it is available free of charge, together with all new purchases of any one year's volumes of Contemporary Political Studies. It is planned that annual updates of CPS CD-ROM will be available to existing purchasers at low cost.The CD-ROM is designed to run under all versions of MS Windows, but includes versions which are suitable for other computers, such as the Apple. Orders should be sent to: PSA National Office, Department of Politics, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, Tel/Fax: 01159514797, E-Mail: psa@nottingham.ac.uk - I doubt that many libertarian papers can be found there - but as a precedent for libertarian magazines, conferences and subscription incentives it is interesting. The medium has its message, one still to be fully comprehended and utilized by freedom lovers. In most countries there is no law against freedom lovers fully utilizing this freedom of expression and information opportunity.

CONTESSA, GUIDO, psicopolis@psicopolis.it (Old address was invalid. This address found today on his website is, apparently, already outdated as well. - J.Z., 21.6.02.) wrote on 18 April 01: "... You can give my address to everyone (who) is interested; You can put my address in every list You wish (I don't understand the anti-spam and privacy obsession: the web is a free speace where we can also be observed and disturbed); You can use for Your work every page of my site www.psicopolis.com (there are no restriction(s): the web is a collective brain!). Bye, Guido." It is a multilingual website.

DAGNY, dagny@freedomworld.org 28.1.01: "Re CD project, yes, it's a wonderful idea to do it for free distribution to people in developing nations, esp. with the new easier, better instant translation software now available...." See also her extensive web pages: FREEDOM WORLD, Home Page & Links, 2pp, in PP 1664/65: www.freedomworld.org Many others of her pages have been microfiched by me. It is a very comprehensive libertarian website, which will soon also include this short list.

DUBUC, VINCENT, vincent.dubuc@libertysurf.fr French individualist anarchist, intends to publish, in text only, on a CD-ROM e.g. 2 books of Pelloutier, a history of the "work houses" and Reclus' Evolution & Revolution, the anarchist ideal, and prepares the complete issue of E. Armand's "L'unique" and his excellent work Initiation to individualist anarchism. "The main interest for this medium is its price, the facility for a person to make his own and to make a copy for buyers. … This project is on its way". - I hope he will cooperate with many other individualist anarchists, not only in France, to really fill such a CD-ROM. - J.Z., 19.7.02.

ECONLIT ON CD-ROM, it indexes e.g. THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF The Independent Institute.

ELECTRIC BOOK COMPANY, THE, www.elecbook.com On CD it offers Edward Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Noam Chomsky, among others. Downloadable, 4 works of J.S.

ELECTRONIC TEXT CENTER, University of Virginia Library, established 1992, offers ca. 45.000 on & offline humanities texts in 12 languages. The majority are SGML encoded and Internet accessible… other items are available on CD-ROM in the Center. - Apparently, duplicate CD-ROMs are not yet for sale at or from the Center. Among others it offers: "Classics of American Politics".

FIST, STEWART, fist@ozemail.com.au , not a libertarian but a computer and CD-ROM expert! 15.3.01: "I was involved in CD-ROMs from the beginning … I've also tried to get into CD-ROM publishing myself on a couple of occasions, and have had no success. I've written a 750-page reference encyclopedia on technology (which is actually four times the size on my computer disk) so I can see how it should work - but it doesn't unless you've got a large marketing operation behind you. - I also suspect that reference is better on book pages, because you want it open and available 'at the same time as you are reading on the screen' - and because you often want it available when you are reading in another room to the computer room. That's my own experience, anyway." - Stewart Fist - writer & columnist, www.australianIT.com.au/opinion/crossorads/www.abc.net.au/http/sfist/ (some archives), www.electric-words.com (main archives), 70 Middle Harbour Road, Lindfield, NSW 2070, Australia, Phone +61 2 94167458 Fax: + 61 2 94164582 - Undoubtedly, for many purposes, paper texts are preferable - IF ONE CAN GET THEM. But I have looked for many freedom texts in vain, for DECADES and in numerous libraries and bookshops. And having also a laptop would help, so would printing out some of the texts. - If anyone needs a consultant - and can afford to pay him …. I wish he would at least offer the fully version of his technology encyclopedia on a CD-ROM, in on-demand publishing only, at a reasonable price. If he is too busy, somebody might do this job for him. Among other things, he is also spreading enlightenment on radiation hazards.

FLANAGAN, GREG, Director, Libertocracy Association, www.libertocracy.com net@libertocracy.com - journal@libertocracy.com - www.libertocracy.com - "Libertocracy is a polycentric free enterprise government and socio-economic system whereby sovereign individuals join together by mutual consent in a civilization that respects and defends the freedom, dignity and rights of all people equally. - In Libercratic society people live by the rule of sovereign individual freedom, where a person is free to do anything that one chooses as long as it's not imposed on others and doesn't infringe upon the equal right of other individuals to the same freedom. - Libertocracy includes all other forms of government or non-government (anarchy) that respects individual freedom in an environment where people must govern themselves through consensual contracts."

24.6.02: Almost everyone uses CD ROMs, I've even grown to prefer reading electronic over paper books, because they are digitized I can more easily mark certain passages and copy quotes. I've had a couple of people express an interest in obtaining the Libertocracy writings on CD-ROM, I just bought a new computer that has a CD burner but I haven't found the time to transfer the site on to a CD yet. I would be interested in your collection on CD-ROM. The people who wanted the Libertocracy site on CD may be interested receiving your collection. I can also advertise for your collection more prominently on my site, and specifically solicit interest from people on my e-mail list, I already have links to panarchy."

GIBSON, HEATH, B.Com, B.Ec.(Hons), ddhrg@hunterlink.net.au - a young economist and computer, especially Internet expert, now in Sydney, working with Telstra Big Band, Broadband ADSL, and also still at his PhD, recommends for archiving the libertarian "blog" site on which he collaborates with Jason Soon and Andrew Norton: http://catallaxyfiles.blogspot.com His own website is: http://www2.hunterlink.net.au/~ddhrg/randyte.html He wishes me best luck with the project - but does not put it on a popular libertarian website, either, perhaps because he thinks that is as easy for me as it would be for him.- J.Z.

GILSON DE LEMOS, MICHAEL, International Libertarian Organization, ILO, showed some interest: New e-mail address: mg4u@oasis.net Updated monthly: LIO: The Libertarian International www.libertarian.uni.cc Read MG's articles at www.gilson.uni.cc MG's Contrarian Articles: http://www.gilson.uni.cc

According to today's e-mail, he just wants to be informed when the CD's are ready! - Neither libertarian CD-ROMs nor liberty in general will be handed to us on a platter, without any effort on our side. - J.Z., 19.6.02.

According to my view of libertarian international cooperation, we should help to organize, as much as we can, a world-wide cooperation on such potentially very powerful projects. Finally a libertarian world library and encyclopaedia and complete and permanent libertarian publishing! - J.Z., 27.6.02.

GLOBAL AFFAIRS PUBLISHING COMPANY: Global Governance in the 21^st Century. A New Company Dedicated to Preserving America's Freedom, Sovereignty, and Independence.

GLOBAL IDEAS BANK, Institute for Social Inventions, www.globalideasbank.org/ At least it reproduced one of my appeals for the libertarian CD-ROM project. But, obviously, it is not yet an efficient global market for ideas, for I have got no response upon that publicity. 6 had viewed the scheme there. Its latest annual selection book seems to contain mostly only trivial ideas, so I am not tempted to order it. Libertarians have so far insufficiently utilized this ideas market.

I have, however, other priorities. It is one thing to collect material and quite another to process and utilize it. I am more interested in the latter. How about joining me in a "Monetary Enlightenment Project." - Gladly, if all its required information is compiled e.g. on microfiche, floppy disks, CDs and online, with as much practical advice & experience as possible!

I tend to deal in plain text, even avoiding HTML as well as the more bulky and restrictive proprietary formats such as WORD, RTF and PDF. … What a great project, deserving of all-government support, is a programme to put all uncopyrighted texts onto CD-ROM for free circulation and consumption by the whole world! … And how easily achievable that vision is given even a modicum of resources. …. it is very much the issue that 'book lovers' need to be 'sufficiently mobilized for cooperative self-publishing'. …. I do have a couple of leaflets that have been written which I believe may be of interest, although they are very short." - He also made a number of practical suggestions and asked me about the distinction between libertarians and anarchists.

Collecting hints towards Mbs available for this project and addresses of people interested in it, and passing them on be listed, for the time being only here, is all that is presently required.

HUMANITY DEVELOPMENT LIBRARY 2.0, Sep. 1998, contains the equivalent of 160,000 pages or 340 kg/ US$ 20,000 of useful books/reports and newsletters on this single CD-ROM of 25 grammes. The publications are those of over 100 partners organizations and cover 23 major subjects; with each 20 to 50 books. There are about 30,000 linked images in Gif, PNG and jpg format. Prices vary from $ 4 (quantity orders) to 30 according to your country. The more expensive ones include the cost of donating a free one to an underdeveloped country. To be delivered mainly to development libraries in underdeveloped countries. humanity@humaninfo.orginfo@humaninfor.org feedback@humaninfo.org A copyleft system is used. Server software is made available free or at low cost. This information is also available free online at http://media.payson.tulane.edu:8083/ and soon on many servers in many countries and on very cheap CD-ROMs for redistribution in developing countries. Formerly known as "Humanity CD-ROM Project". Final aim is to include ca. 3,000 essential books at the lowest cost possible. The equivalent knowledge of 16 full university degrees available at fingertips. They aim to achieve for each developing country ca. 5,000 PC's with CD-ROM drives in ca. 1,000 places as education centres and local servers that could offer more material from other CD-ROMs. They seek further information input and distributors and financial contributions. www.humaninfo.org/ Related sites: www.worldinfo.org/www.gtz.de/ www.payson.tulane.edu/www.globalprojects.org/ (The equivalent libertarian disk has still to be provided, including all the libertarian development ideas.)

HUMPHREYS, JOHN, ALS, AUSTRALIAN LIBERTARIAN SOCIETY, has a slightly different

or more embracing plan which I fully agree with. He wants to offer a "libertarian library", as one of the outputs of ALS, "a resource that allows access to the most complete range of libertarian works. This includes links to web-based articles, information on how to buy libertarian works and the production and promotion of cheap alternatives - such as CD-ROMs, disk and microfiche etc. If this site doesn't provide any article on libertarianism, then it should indicate how and where you can get it ... a complete libertarian library!"- It is to build upon much previous work. The early stages are to be on: www.geocities.com/libertarian_library/ (Here can be found some of my prolonged notes on the subject. - J.Z.) His e-mail: libertarian_aust@yahoo.com & als@liberty.every1.net ALS website: www.geocities.com/libertarian_society - Alas, other commitments have kept him so far from further work on his libertarian library project. His case, like mine, proves how necessary international collaboration and division of labor is, for almost every significant libertarian project. One person can only do so much.

HUTCHINGS, JAMES, Anarchist News Service. - Alas, so far I have received only one anarchist text floppy disk, from James Hutchings, containing many left anarchist texts, unzipped, but amounting only to a bit over 1 Mb. Address: James c/o P.O. Box 503, Newtown, NSW 2042, Australia. Sent free of charge in Australia. For overseas orders include something for postage. james_hutchings@ato.gov.au A plain and Winzipped 800 Mbs CD-ROM, could come to contain ca. 3.2 Gbs, i.e., as much as 3,200 times in texts as this first anarchist floppy disk publishing effort. Hopefully, there will be many more, finally combined on a CD-ROM.

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL HISTORY, info@iisg.nl Quite independently of this CD-ROM project, the IISH, in collaboration with 3 other institutes, has produced Bakunin's collected works on a CD-ROM, ISBN 90 6984 303 X Price: NLG 995,- Information and orders: Edita-KNAW, P.O.

ID ARCHIV im IISG, First CD-ROM, put out in 1998, reproduced some of its listings. I downloaded some its lists from its website and reproduced them in PEACE PLANS 1722, first entry. This list, on CD, costs DM 30.00 (i.e., ca. Euro 15) and is essentially only a literature for sale list. Will anarchists be among the last to put their texts on CD-ROMs? May be this archive has done so already?

JONGEN, HUBERT, Libertarian International, www.libertarian.to info@libertarian.tohubertjongen@compuserve.com EUROLETTER, per e-mail. 25/6/02: He is now considering opening a chapter on the CD-ROM project on their website and to create the facility for others to send their contributions and to announce this in their EUROLETTER and to provide progress reports. All is still in flux but this is the best news yet, in this respect, from a large libertarian organization. He even sounds impatient to go ahead! I sure won't hold him back but wrote that the last version of this list will be ready only in a few days.

KANT, IMMANUEL: Hauptwerke. CD-ROM für Win und Mac. - Hauptwerke 1781-1804; Vorkritische Schriften 1747-1777; Kleine Schriften 1784-1800; Rezensionen 1771-1786.

Several studies on Kant will be published on CD-ROM according to Bibliographischer Informationsdienst Nr. 27 Oktober 2001. This issue brings 430 references to Kant. But then already during his lifetime there were ca. 5,000 texts on his philosophy - and, according to some, most of them misunderstood him!

KOMAN, VICTOR, the libertarian science fiction writer. He was previously involved with SOFTSERV SF publishing on floppy disks and may now be involved with J. Neil Schulman' Pulpless.com publishing online, which makes some new libertarian SF available online for a very moderate charge.

LANDMESSER, RALF, ralf@anarch.free.de When he recently (Feb. 02) saw my letter in ANARCHY, he reminded me that many years ago he had recommended the use of CD-ROMs to me. I had forgotten about that. The things one does, sometimes, conveniently forget, especially if one is as involved with microfiche as I have been. He published for 18 years a German anarchist calendar and directory and asked for some advertisements in German on the project, which he would launch. I did provide him with translations into German of my 2 short advertisements.

LEXREX, webmaster@lexrex.comwww.lexrex.com has already reproduced on a single US $ 85 CD-ROM the whole over 160,000 pages of the AMERICAN FREEDOM LIBRARY OF The Western Standard Publishing Co., which in print on paper costs $ 11,000! Alas, on the website the contents of this library collection is only summarized and it seems to concentrate on some classical and constitutionalist writings. No other libertarian user of CD-COMs has so far made better use of this medium, to my knowledge. It is up to us to so combine ALL libertarian freedom writings. - J.Z., 30.4.01. - I bought a copy of it. According to its package it was produced by World Book Encyclopaedia, mentioning The Western Standard Publishing Company, and is called American Reference Library. It provides the "Largest Library of Historical and Official Documents Ever Assembled on One CD-ROM". It contains over 55,000 source documents. These are mainly of interest to conservative libertarians. Other Libertarians have still to produce their equivalent to this collection.

August 02 note: This CD is now also offered at least by LAISSEZ FAIRE BOOKS & by The Radical Academy Libertarian Books.

LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE by WOLRD LIBRARY, INC., 2809 Main St., Irvine, CA 92714, tel.: 714-756-9500. The 3^rd edition has over 3,500 titles. I have seen it priced from A $ 20 for early editions to A $ 80 and also attached, as a freebee, with other software CDs, to computer magazines. It does contain some freedom titles, e.g. by J.S. Mill & Adam Smith. Its greatest importance is the example it sets for libertarians. According to one of my references, in text a 650 Mbs CD-ROM could carry 340,000 pages.

LICHTSCHLAG, ANDRE F., editor of the German liberal to individualist anarchist periodical "EIGENTUEMLICH FREI", offered some of his writings, many already on the Internet, for reproduction, but only with revocable permission, since he tries to make his periodical a paying proposition.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE: According to Dan Sullivan, pimann@pobox.com , 10.5.01, the Lincoln Institute is putting the works of Henry George onto a CD-ROM. Sullivan himself was working towards putting Georgist writings online, until he heard about this project. 1.7.02: "It is completed. I believe it sells for $ 50. Disk 1 is mostly pictures and fluff. Disk 2 has all the meat. … All the books: The Land Question, Our Land and Land Policy, A Perplexed Philosopher, Progress and Poverty, Protection or Free Trade, Science of Political Economy, and Social Problems. Also the following speeches and articles: The Single Tax: What it is and why we urge it. Why the Landowner Cannot Shift the Tax on Land Values. The Land for the People. Moses, a Lecture. Ode to Liberty, and several minor pieces in "An anthology of Henry George's Thoughts", compiled by Dr. Kenneth Wenzer." The book "Critics of Henry George" - "is not included, but a few articles, some of which are useful, by various people who submitted papers to Lincoln Institute." - It was done commercially and, obviously, did not use the full text potential fo these two disks, for reproducing much of the Georgist literature.

LINDSAY, GREG, Exec. Dir. The Centre for Independent Studies, 38 Oxley St., St. Leonards, NSW 2065, glindsay@cis.org.auwww.cis.org.au wrote on the web: ""We are putting more and more of our stuff there. However, we are considering putting out one of our books next year as a CD-ROM too." I asked him: Why not all? Apparently, they are economical even for a single book! - J.Z. According to the CIS journal POLICY, vol. 17, No. 3, they published: Jennifer Buckingham, Lucy Sullivan & Helen Hughes: State of the Nation, A Century of Change, 3^rd. edition, as book, $ 29.95, on CD-ROM, $ 29.95 and offer both for $ 45.

Only one such book, on one CD-ROM, instead of hundreds or thousands, on one CD-ROM, cannot sufficiently compete with the Internet offers. And why isn't it offered more cheaply on a floppy disk? A bias for Internet use is not much better than a bias for print on paper only. Are most of the well-funded libertarian think tanks so slow in adopting CD-ROMs for massive publishing because that would make them largely superfluous? I hope not! - J.Z.

NISSANI, NOAH, nhnisani@internetzahav.net 11 April 01: Dear John Zube, In principle I agree with the publication in CD-ROM of my Primer on Classical Liberalism in any or all its three versions: English, Hebrew and
Spanish, together with other classical liberal (libertarian) works. The same with any or all the articles in English or Hebrew of my website. My unique condition is that the text would remain intact. I would like the directory configuration remaining as it is in my website to conserve the internal links between the files. But this and any other technical question may be considered when it will be actually. Concerning the autonomies foreseen by Jabotinsky, it appears in an article from the early twenties without a detailed plan. I am sure that he would
accept more than two autonomies if ethnic or religious groups would demand it. At my best knowing J. published his liberal ideas in numerous articles, which were put together with his other articles in a series of volumes in
Hebrew. I do not know if it was published also in English. Best wishes, Noah . - N. Nissani runs also the ZEEV (Vladimir) Jabotinsky Home Page: J. "envisioned two autonomous peoples sharing the same land and each governing their own personal, cultural and religious lives." - He may not have extended this autonomy panarchistically, into the economic, social and political spheres as well - but he came at least close to that solution.

Zeev Jabotinskky - The Israeli Classical Liberal Website is a member of the Jewish History Ring Owned by the Dinur Center for Research in Jewish History of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Jewish History Ring site is owned by Noah Nissani. N. is a retired physicist. He recommends reading of the Libertarians for Life website.

NYBERG, SVEN OLAV, offers ca. 5 MBs on Stirner. He recommended 3 sites for downloading that I have not tried yet. But then I am not trying to compile a libertarian CD-ROM myself. Others are much better at such jobs. But even if only for my own files, I will check them out. solan@nonserviam.com www.nonserviam.com/solan

OBJECTIVISM.NET, The works of Ayn Rand and other Objectivist authors on CDROM! Now available for immediate delivery http://www.objectivism.net/order_cdrom.htmhttp://www.objectivism.net/order_cdrom.htm

The first and only electronically searchable, totally comprehensive reference work for the history-changing ideas of Ayn Rand! Including Anthem, We The Living, The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, and the vast majority of her non-fiction writing, as well as Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, and other works. All this for $ 149.95. ($99.95 special student discount price.) ISBN 0-9711787-0-4 comments2@Objectivism.net "The CDROM does currently omit material in The Early Ayn Rand, but we hope to add this at a future date."

OBJECTIVIST CENTER, THE, The Essence of Objectivism, on, supposedly, audio CDs. Note from FREEDOM NEWS, info@free-market.net of 9 May 02: "The Objectivist Center. A thought-provoking six-lecture CD course that is intended for those who are new to Rand's work or have enjoyed her novels but are not deeply familiar with her philosophy. $ 65.00 from The Objectivist Center: (mailto:toc@objectivistcenter.org - no longer valid address by today, 22.6.02, J.Z.) www.free-market.net/rd/908432375.html I wonder what fraction of a text CD-ROM this course would require if it were offered thus, instead. After all, most Ayn Rand fans are readers rather than listeners to her talks or views of movies or videos dealing with her work. - J.Z., 19.6.02.

OLSON, HOWARD R., Drhowao@aol.com MA PHD Cand., Silicon Valley College, ILN Co-founder. He suggests especially archiving libertarian dialog in the rough from various Usenet Groups for instance & keeping these CD in some form of "time capsule" with a sturdy CD-ROM Reader, archiving such data from all continents. - 23.6.02: Dear John: I have finished my PhD and would be able to participate more. The only Usenet I have access to is GoogleGroups (the former Deja news). But I would be willing to archive Libertarian messages from various anarchist and libertarian groups using Adobe Acrobat so they could be burned. I would like to first do alt.politics.libertarian and talk.politics.libertarian. I think Deja goes back to 1995. - Howard R Olson, PhD , Medical Dept., Silicon Valley College http://www.SiliconValley.edu - That is simply great. - Everyone should so choose his involvement with a powerful alternative medium, hoping that others will join his efforts. That is likely to occur if e.g. the CD-ROM projects list is made to grow fast, on a popular website, until it makes itself finally quite superfluous. - J.Z., 24.6.02.

PEDDE, SEIG, Ken Schooland wrote on him, regarding Ken's bestseller: The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible": "However, for downloading the book onto CD-ROM, inquiries should be made first to Seig Pedde, spedde@cims.net - in Canada. He has already produced a CD-ROM version of the JG and would probably be happy to collaborate with others in its usage." That book production on a CD-ROM was just a test case. Both are ready to make at least this bestselling text so available, but with Schoolland reserving copyrights. Pedde has also software that would make texts on CD-ROMs quite user-friendly. He is also involved in establishing a libertarian e-text offer on a website, from which books can be downloaded upon payment.

PERON, JIM, peron@gonet.co.za 15.3.01: "I am interested what you have on CD. Can you e-mail me a list of what's available but only what is available on CD. … " - Alas, then I could only point out Dr. David Hart's classical liberal CDs.

PHILOSOPHERS' MAGAZINE, THE, TMP ONLINE, issues 1-8 so far, www.philosophers.co.uk All the back issues are on the new TPM CD-ROM. www.philosophers.co.uk Editor: Dr. Jeremy Stranroom, jerry@philosophers.co.uk. Price?

PROJECT GUTENBERG: Some "Gopher Menu" that I downloaded from somewhere, sometime, indicated that "Project Gutenberg is now available on CD-ROM". No further details are known at this stage. But from prior viewing of its literature lists I do know that its collection does contain some classical freedom texts.

RAY, JOHN, jonjayray@hotmail.com, http://members.optusnet.com.au/~jonjayrayhttp://jonjayray.blogspot.com3.8.02: "You are welcome to use anything you find there in any way you like. - So far I had seen and microfiched only 9 of his titles. Here he offers dozens. Those in scholarly magazines are probably under some copyrights restrictions by their publishers. He strongly believes in book publishing online: "When you can get a whole book zipped down to around 200 k, I am inclined to think that internet circulation is the best way of distributing texts." - Not yet for whole special libraries! And libertarian books offered there are still all too few! - J.Z.

REHMKE, GREG: The October 1992 catalog of Laissez Faire Books contained the following entry on page 38: "Solutions" by Greg Rehmke. Libertarian database (Macintosh). ET5580 (3 disks) $ 59.00. In the October 1993 edition this offer was expanded to: "Updated Edition! Solutions, by Greg Rehmke. Solutions is a HyperCard-based program for Macintosh and Windows computers containing over 500 articles and policy studies drawn from 25+ think tanks and educational foundations. Book reviews and newsleter excerpts are also included. Articles are indexed by topic and text searchable. ET5791 (five disks) $ 49.00." - I do not have any later entries on this, largely because I ceased receiving the catalog for man years, since I had little money for further orders. I do not know the current e-mail address and website of Greg Rehmke and whether he has further expanded his floppy disk offer or extended it to a CD-ROM one.

RIDEAU, FRANCOIS-RENE, fare@tunes.org Reflections & Cybernetics: http://fare.tunes.org - TUNES project for a Free Reflective Computing System, webmaster@bastiat.org 17.1.02: He recommended as a contact the mailing list bastiat-fans@bastiat.org - "Politicians are like diapers: They must be changed often. And for the same reasons. Also, adults don't need either of them." - 21.1.02, upon recommending a multi-lingual Bastiat CD: "If you publish such a CD, then I encourage you to include all the literature digitized on bastiat.org (and there are also on the web a few e-texts that bastiat.org points to but doesn't host. As for what is on econlib.org, you need the approval of FEE and/or Liberty Fund, but I think you can have it. (If they refuse it, let me know - I know someone who could change their mind.) Oh, and I know quite a few persons, including me, who are willing to buy such a CD." - As for my observation that 200 - 2,000 books can be put onto a single CD-ROM: "Well, it depends on whether they are digitized as full-text or as scanned images. Using proper compression, the former typically takes under 1 KB per page, and the Latter between 40 and 50 KB per page, so in one case you can put 600,000 pages on a CD, and in the latter only 13,000." - "Considering my experience with digitizing Bastiat's original works (in French), I can tell you that motivating a large team of volunteers is quite a difficult task (not much has been digitized last year). That said, a definite goal - getting a CD published - might help motivate them." - "Looks like I have a lot of libertarian reading ahead. Unhappily, I also must finish my PhD thesis in computer science, so I fear I will remain more ignorant about libertarianism than I should, at least for the upcoming months."

RIVAZ, JOHN de, with his LONGEVITY BOOKS & LONGEVITY REPORT (continued only on the Internet), john@longevity-report.comwww.longevity-report.com at least 88 L.R. issues by June 02, wrote back in 1996, that with his life extension material he could already fill about 1/10th a CD-ROM. Mail: West Towan House, Porthtowan, Truro, Cornwall, TR4 8AX. 7.12.00: ". By all means add anything from my web sites to your CD if you wish. The www.autopsychoice.com site has a very strong libertarian stance with which I am sure that you would agree. - I think the big problem is not producing this libertarian material, but in enabling people to find the time to read it.... - my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects:

http://www.geocities.com/longevityrpt - should you be able to chose autopsy? - 24.6.02: http://www.deRivaz.comhttp://www.AlecHarleyReeves.comJohn@deRivaz.com http://www.longevity-report.comhttp://www.cryonics-europe.orghttp://www.porthtowan.com - 25.6.02: You can of course, use anything from my web sites in your CDs. I think that there is software available that will download entire web sites all in one go. - JZ: Thanks for this hint. I still have to find out more about that. - So far I am still too far from producing my first one - in a format acceptable in most CD-ROM drives.

J.de R.: One of the projects I do want to do is to get all the original printed version of LR as pdf files on a CD, but as the text information is there on the web, and as Word Perfect versions are not totally compatible with each other this would burn off copious quantities of time. - I have made a CD of radio programmes about cryonics and immortalism, that I have collected over the past 20 years, for the Cryonics Institute - presumably they will publish it one day. However just listening to it would take several days - the programmes are highly compressed. At least you can listen to the radio whilst you are doing something else! - J.Z.: GREAT! At least another libertarian interest audio CD is thus already on offer and compressed, too, like the LFB CD, recording a 1998 libertarian conference. - All good things take time.

ROUTLEDGE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY, THE, "has an excellent CD-ROM version that is quite useful for looking up key terms and philosophers." - For one reason or the other the online version of it does not mention the CD-ROM edition. Does it want to tie us to service providers?

RUMMEL, RUDY rummel@hawaii.edu 28.4.01: "Aloha Mr. Zube, Thanks, indeed for your extensive comments on the need to publish my web site in a better, more accessible form, than the internet. I'm sold on the idea of putting it all on CDs, but do not have the capability nor funds to do this. If you know of someone that would be willing to support the effort, let them know about this. I would be happy to work with them on the effort. - - The case for freedom is now incredibly strong, but the problem remains to communicate this, especially to those with a libertarian perspective. It's frustrating to continually read about the economic virtues of freedom, while the greater role of freedom in ending wars, famines, and genocide, and mass murder are ignored. - - Putting it all on CDs would seem to help in getting the word out." - Please help to make his enormous websites better known. There are over 900 documents - books, articles, data, analyses, tables, and figures on the site, which amounts to an encyclopaedia against dictatorships and totalitarian regimes, and help him to get it all conveniently onto a CD-ROM, perhaps with more of your other favourite freedom texts: www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/WF.COVER.HTMrummel@aloha.net www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/VIS.TEARS.HTM There are over 900 documents - books, articles, data, analyses, tables, and figures on his site.

RUWART, MARY J., mary@ruwart.com - Xavier Collett: PREGENTIL@aol.com - talked with her about the project and she replied: "I might be interested in putting "Healing Our World" and/or "Short Answers to the Tough Questions" on such a CD-ROM. The number of megabytes would depend on the format (e.g. Word Perfect, HTML, etc.). I also have audio files for a number of my talks at various conventions." Her book, Healing Our World, is available as a free download at www.ruwart.com

SANDBLADE, EMILY, (codeheadl@ix.net.com - Alas, this address does no longer apply! - Will she remain quite hidden? She did not yet offer me some Mbs on cryptology. - J.Z., 22.6.02.) is prepared to offer, within 2 or 3 months, some Mbs. on cryptology to help reducing the State. Most of her documents are by libertarians or libertarian anarchists.

SCHARFF, STEVEN, stevenfscharff@netscape.net On 12 Jan. 00 he wrote to me:

"Firstly, I currently have no plans to compile a CD-ROM of any writings concerning the micro-sovereignty movement. My intention was to create a website devoted to links to as many micro-nation, sovereignty, seditionist and liberty websites as I could find. I would like to include a link to any of your projects. If you could supply me with a URL, I will gladly do so. - Respectfully yours, Steven F. Scharff - MICRONATION AND SOVEREIGNTY INDEX www.angelfire.com/nv/micronationswww.escape.to/anewcountry "

He takes the usual, not always clearly stated stand, in most of the responses: I have rather you or someone else realize this project than take it up myself. However, a large and growing list of such people, however limited their interest may be in pioneering it, would also attract and finally mobilize people who would be much better compilers, editors, publishers and salesmen than I am. I hope that this stage will be reached, if not through my own listing efforts than through those of others. Alas, the Internet has not yet sufficiently linked all people who could and should give much valuable information to each other. - As a panarchist I take an interest in all approaches to get away from the disaster after disaster causing territorial State systems. Considering alternatives to them only in virtual reality, among volunteers, is a cheap and riskless exercise. - J.Z., 20.6.02.

SCHOOLLAND, KEN, author of "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market Odyssey". Now offered on Reg Jacklin's site: http://catalog.com/rcj/jg/english Louk Jongen in Holland is planning a website with all 23 language editions. "However, for downloading the book onto CD-ROM, inquiries should be made first to Seig Pedde, spedde@cims.net - in Canada. He has already produced a CD-ROM version of the JG and would probably be happy to collaborate with others in its usage." - New e-mail address of Ken: schoollak001@hawaii.rr.com - Pedde is happy to collaborate. He just made a test issue of a CD-ROM with Schoolland's bestseller.

SHALIF, IIAN, gshalif@netvision.net.il 20.3.01: "A-infos have only 200 Mbs of text on-line ... as this is what we distributed in our mailing lists the last 6 years. - etext.org have a lot of anarchist text on-line. I am not sure how many MB the archive contains." "... lately we backed a-infos 1.5 Giga system through Internet... I appreciate the project you do....He recommended to look up: http://search.ainfos.ca - On his online book publishing: "If your count my libertarian DIY alternative to psychotherapy within, I just put it in two languages on a few websites."

STAGNARO, CARLO, contributor to LAISSEZ FAIRE CITY TIMES, cstagnaro@libero.it on 11.1.01: "... your idea to build a complete libertarian library finds me enthusiastic. I'll try to let as many people as possible know of it. And I think I'll write an article in the LFC Times. Anyway, give me some weeks to do it, because I have some pressing things to do. ... my first language is Italian and, as you can see, my English is not so good as I would like. So writing in English and revising what I have written takes me a lot of time." - Did such an article appear in the meantime? Where there any responses to it? - J.Z., 18.6.02. www.forces.org/stagnaro

SULLIVAN, DAN, pimann@pobox.com . See: LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Dan Sullivan was himself working towards putting Georgist writings online - until he heard about the CD-ROM effort of the Lincoln Institute. Don Sullivan is associated with the SCHOOL OF COOPERATIVE INDIVIDUALISM, which has published much online and wrote an essay: Are you a Real Libertarian or a Royal Libertarian. He is hosting a Georgist conference. - J.Z., 31.5.01.

TAKVER, 6 Dec. 00: "In response to your email you sent to Anarres Books, your proposal was discussed at one of our meetings. Anarres does not have a lot of material in digital form. However, there are a few essays on organisation and consensus decision making on our website which could be contributed. - On a personal level, I have been publishing Australian anarchist and radical history material on my own website. This includes two books on the history of anarchism in Australia and several pamphlets by Bob James. The bulk of the material is text, although there are some photos and other graphics associated with the material. At some stage down the track I was thinking about a release on CD-Rom and would consider joining a project which you have outlined.

All the protectionist, anti-capitalist and anti-corporation prejudices of anarchists neatly assembled for refutation by free-market anarchists! If the discussion is exhaustive enough then, maybe, the antagonists will both end up as anti-monopolists, voluntarists, exterritorialists, autonomists, panarchists, polyarchists etc., rather than trying to impose their ideals upon all the dissenters in a country or the world.

TIGGRE, DON LOBO, 14.1.01: "Okay John, I get the picture. I like the project (though I'm still not convinced CD-ROM is the best way to go -- I'm also not convinced it isn't;-). I don't have time to get too deeply involved, myself, but LRT (LIBERTY ROUND TABLE) is all about projects that promote freedom ad this certainly qualifies. Some of us already have a banned book library project going. ... I am: "Don Lobo Tiggre, Founder of the Liberty Round Table (www.LRT.org ) and co-editor of 'Doing Freedom!' (www.DoingFreedom.com ). - 16.1.01 donlobo@hushmail.com (Only very short messages!!! Otherwise storage quote can be easily exceeded!): "I'm promoting it for free via LRT right now, because I like the idea. Maybe we could work out an advertising deal where we get a percentage for promoting it on DF!" (DOING FREEDOM!)"when you're ready to roll with a product." - Tiggre's sensible criticism induced me to finally reduce one CD-ROM project message to one page or 628 words. - J.Z., 27.1.01. - Alas, his promotion of this project - he is involved with numerous others - has not yet led, to my knowledge, to any additional entries in my CD-ROM project list. - J.Z., 27.6.02.

TIMM, UWE: ESPERO & other publications of the MACKAY GESELLSCHAFT, in German, on individualist anarchism, showed interest. Recent website: www.Utespero.deUtespero@aol.com He intends to reproduce individualist anarchist material on a CD-ROM. I just sent him, upon request, a rough German translation of my shortest draft on the CD-ROM project, for circulation among German anarchists. Alas, it came already to 1,000 words. - J.Z., 27.1.01.

TOSCANO, JOE, ANARCHIST AGE WEEKLY & MONTHLY & other left anarchist material, Anarchist Media Institute. Webmaster: Attn Phil, c/o: anarchistage@yahoo.comdirectdemocracy@netscape.net

http://www.vicnet.net.au/~anarchistwww.geocities.com/CapitolHill/3879http://direct-democracy.8k.com He asked for an advertisement for the project and pointed out A-Infos on the net as the largest (A)-site. 12.1.01: "Our contribution to the CD-Rom would run around one million words." Joe's radio broadcasts are only available on audio XIM: www.freespeech.org/anarchistAge

TRACEY, JOHN, (johntracey@platypus.net.au Not a valid address by 24.6.02.) 21 May 01: "Basic texts are essential to grasp the concept but beyond that we should not be building an Anarchist Bible. (I am not referring to the CD-ROM project, that sounds brilliant in terms of resource to assist in grasping the concept. I am taking about an attitude to these works.)"

TREVELYAN, HUGH, - Associated with Anarchist Yellow Pages. When approached with the CD-ROM project he replied, 230301: "Maybe of interest: www.activate.8m.com/project.htm " - That was a project to do among other things the following: combine the best anarchist websites on a CD-ROM."

TURNEY, JIM, Jim@LibertyTapes.com - famous recorder and publisher of libertarian audio tapes, wrote, in a hurry, some quick replies, 16.12.00: "I've never made a complete list, a shame, but it's a big job. I have about 6 or 8 thousands masters made since 1979... my oldest are certainly in desperate need of preservation." - Some libertarians should offer him help to bring this alternative media treasure fully to light, for all who might want to order from his complete list, once it appears. Who will help him to compile it? Otherwise this complete listing depends upon his limited time and energy. He wrote: "Not yet available, but one of these days." This list should certainly be offered on libertarian CD-ROMs & on the Web. Upon me writing: "I favour advancing towards liberty with all alternative media in their particular strengths", he replied: "Me too! My speciality is audio and video tape and the Net". Audio CD, condensed version, seems an attractive alternative. See under LAISSEZ FAIRE BOOKS. Also DAT tapes. 23.6.02: I'm still at this email but I moved to Cyprus in March and I'll be here for at least a year. My audio/video tape collection is stored in a former recording studio facility controlled by my father in Florida. I am not currently adding to the collection with any additional recording projects. I do still intend to preserve the collection by converting it to the digital domain. Let's stay in touch."

TWINWORLDS.COM, INC., CD-ROM Books, www.twinworlds.cominfo@twinworlds.com Most of the single books it does so publish are just novels and advice books. But among its output is one CD ROM that reproduces 3 of the classics of H.G.Wells and another the compilation by Judson G. Banks: Famous Documents of Early Americana, 1999, $ 16.95. It does not indicate the total number of items included, or the number of pages or Mbs. It is still up to libertarians to utilise the full text potential of CD-ROMs for their texts.

US ARMY, Website. Christine Kearney, in smh 2.Oct. 01 reported: "the US Army has produced a number of military field manuals on CD on all topics from light weapons, tanks and artillery to mines, military fieldcraft and combat medicine. A full set of CDs is available for less than $ US 100 on order from a Web site provided."- Some of that information could be of value for a genuinely libertarian militia, which, to my knowledge, does not yet exist anywhere except in some imaginations.

WHITTEN, CHRIS, Exec. Dir. The Henry Hazlitt Foundation, publisher of Free-Market.Net: The Freedom Network www.free-market.net - chris@free-market.net "I'm afraid I have no idea about total MB for complete text libraries. We've made some small effort in terms of e-texts, i.e. www.hazlitt.org/e-texts "

WILL, JON, JonWill@UtopiaNow.org He has utopian trilogy placed online, recommended in a free-market.net listing: http://UtopiaNow.org . When I asked him about reproducing these works on my microfiche and described the CD-ROM project, he replied, 270301: "That would be fine with me. I placed these books free on the Internet for people to use as they please."

WITTGENSTEIN'S WORKS ON CD-ROM: L. Goldstein, B.A. (Liv.); Ph.D. (St. Andrews) Laurence Goldstein started teaching at the University of Hong Kong in 1976. He has just finished a book on Wittgenstein, and is currently working on a book about paradoxes in which he hopes to finally solve problems some of which have remained unsolved for over 2000 years. He has also been part of a group of scholars in Bergen, Norway, transcribing all of Wittgenstein's manuscripts to CD-ROM. - Source of info: INVITATION TO PHILOSOPHY, Department of Philosophy, The University of Hong Kong 1999-2000.

X, Mr. X: 12 years ago, in an L.A. bookshop I met a guy from N.Y. who intended to put 500 anarchist books onto a CD-ROM. Then I was not interested enough in this option - but I passed on his address to Victor Koman & J. Neil Schulman, who were then engaged in floppy disk publishing of books. I managed to forget his name and mislay his address - but someone else should have heard of his effort and how far he got on his own. I guess that then he found it even more difficult to find enough people to help him fill a CD-ROM. - If V.K. & J.N.S. keep better records than I do, the address of this pioneer for this project could be retrievable from them. - J.Z., 20.6.02.

XAVIER PREGENTIL COLLET, PREGENTIL@aol.com - 5 Dec. 2000: "Thank you for your mail, the project looks quite interesting; I will answer you soon and propose it on our mailing-list." From the next message: "... PIOT's program to teach and inform about Libertarians through some CD is brilliant. There are many sources and many articles, myself I'm organizing a directory with ideas sorted by topics, that's quite a long job that steal a lot of time. But it' useful to use non-collectivist extracts for teaching. So I will put your presentation on our list and please do precisely quote what we could do to help, we have documents but most of them are in French... EuroLibertarians at http://libertarians.cjb.net French version at: http://libertariens.cjb.net - Italian version at: http://libertari.cjb.net Spanish version at: http://eurolibertarios.cjb.net Branch of the International Libertarian Network : http://maxpages.com/libertarian Subscribe to the French mailing-list: les-libertariens-subscribe@egroups.com - Note by J.Z.: I see the project as only a simple step from music, software and games CD-ROMs to libertarian texts and a whole freedom library on CD-ROM. If texts can't be included, because of copyrights, they can at least be referred to, abstracted and reviewed and included in bibliographies and indexes. Copyrights holders can hardly complain about such advertising for their works. And they can produce their own CD-ROMs, containing only their copyrighted material, perhaps with a program against copying it.

ZAPATISTAS: "At the end of July 1996, some 2,000 sympathizers from forty-three nations met in Chiapas at the EZLN-sponsored "International Encounter for Humanity and Against Neo-Liberalism"" -- as a result of this meeting, supporters formed more than 400 new Zapatista civilian committees. (91) For those who could not attend the meeting in person, the Zapatistas are ready to move to CD-ROM format, making discs that would allow followers or sympathizers to visit their jungle strongholds via computer.(92)" - Michael P. Pelaez, durruti@inet.net mexico.html at flag.blackened.net Revolt collection: revolt.html at flag.blackened.net - As with most revolutionaries, their economics knowledge seems to be poor or absent and, like most "revolutionaries" they are still conservative as territorialists. If they aimed only at exterritorial autonomy and voluntary membership for their communities then they would multiply the number of their supporters and minimize the number of their enemies.

It offers over 780 hypertext analyses, over 70 profiles of assassins, over 750 photos, over 100 questions and explanations. I do not remember the price I paid for it. It was a bargain offer. - No hard disk space is required for reading this CD. - "If you are interested in developing a Power CD title, ZCI would like to hear from you.

ZUBE, JOHN: If I were free to include all that I have downloaded and if I everything I have saved on disks so far, i.e., none of it were copyrighted, then I would by now probably have over 200 MBs to offer. A big IF. I definitely would want my main literature list included for LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING, which comes close to 5 MBs and, in future, supplementary lists, coming to at least another 5 MBs and do intend to scan in some libertarian books, my own and those of others, which appear to be very important to me. The total of this segment would probably come to ca. 20 MBs. -jzube@acenet.com.au - If all freedom books were offered on 300 CD-ROMs, at, say, $ 10 each, you could mark me down for them as a customer! You, too, might be ready to mention your price for such a quantity offer. The combined advance orders might bring spur on the production effort.

Finance for it and advance payments would NOT be required. LMP website & literature list: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube

My first German book manuscript, fiched in PP 399 - 401, came digitized in RTF to 2.3 Mbs. Winzip reduced it to 579 Kbs. It is thus also transmittable via e-mail upon request, like the following. The English translation, fiched in PP 61-63, will be digitized as soon as I get a good and working scanning program again. So will be, gradually, a few dozen other libertarian books. But do not expect me to microfiche the whole PEACE PLANS series. YOU do it, if you like and if copyrights claims are no obstacles.

PP1to20RTF Berrima, 14 January 2002

PP 19 C -1,051 Kbs 44+" (John Zube: Let Freedom Pay Its Way, ,2nd ed.)

PP 20 - 496 Kbs 164 " (J. & D. Zube: An Ideal Market for Freedom Ideas)

TOTAL: 7.84 Mbs from over 1450 pages, which it took me 13 years to produce.

Since then about 70 issues p.a., average 300+ pages - but only on microfiche!

Note that PEACE PLANS 19 A & B, on monetary freedom, are already available in the appendix on my main website: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube - Literature List up to PEACE PLANS 1545.

Please note also that the above listed Mbs are among my contributions towards one or several libertarian CD-ROMs that either I or others will come to compile. You may include them or any segment on your website.

Anyone may also freely reproduce the nearly 5 Mbs of my main website and the supplementary list for PEACE PLANS 1546 - 1620 that is available on the www.butterbach.net (840 Kbs.)

I do intend to continue my LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING until I have reached PEACE PLANS (PP) No. 2,000. But do not expect me to scan-in all of its ca. 500,000 pages. Latest: PP No.: 1725.

The microfilming of pages is still much more accurate, is automated and computerized and much easier and time-saving for me, even through a commercial micrographic agency, than is scanning and proof-reading.

My conversion from duplicating and offset printing the above early PEACE PLANS issues to microfiching the following helped me to increase my annual page output about 189 times!

Have you become 189 times as productive through your computer usage?

Apart from copyrights restrictions, to the extent that they can be successfully imposed upon us or are supported by you, you are invited to scan-in all those libertarian texts that you do like and that are accessible to you and to offer them e.g. on microfiche, on floppy disks, on CD-ROMs, via e-mail or on websites.

If all active libertarians did the whole job of permanent and cheap libertarian publishing, tackling e.g., the whole backlog of out of print and unpublished libertarian writings, in a division of labor scheme, in loose collaboration, just to avoid the duplication of efforts and to announce all of them, then each participant would not have to do much of this chore and spend much time, money and energy on it.

Perhaps as few as 300 CD-ROMs or at least CVDs could already reproduce all libertarian writings and 10 CD-ROMs might already contain a life-time's libertarian reading! How many libertarian Mbs do you have to offer for the first libertarian CD-ROM issues? How many do you offer on the Internet?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously, this list is still much too short, indefinite and insufficiently diverse.

Remind me to include you in any future list, with as many details as you like to provide, mentioning at least one e-mail address, the number of Mbs that you have to offer and their kind, or may be able to provide soon for this project. I'll add more details, as they come to hand or as you mention them.

This list, with additions, as they come in, will be passed on to anyone interested. So, if you want to be excluded, please let me know.

I hold that for the first coop CD-ROM edition it would not matter if it had to be filled with contributions in different languages. Separate language editions could be produced later. The common aim should be to reproduce all freedom information in at least all of the major languages.

You would sign up only temporarily with me, and do so without any obligation, until a workshop group constitutes itself or a sufficiently close network. Consult with any of those listed. There must be many, much more suitable than I am, to go ahead with this project. I will be satisfied if I have contributed a bit to get it started and will input whatever Mbs I have too offer.

If I should soon get too many e-mail responses for me to be able to handle them, then I intend to pass them on to the first individual or group of collaborators for this project. I can handle only a limited number of additional jobs. But my present complaint is still that this list is too short rather than too long for me.

Who is able and willing to place it on the Internet, together with a programme that would allow interested people to add themselves to this list and what they have to offer for libertarian CD-ROM publishing?

John Zube, LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING, 35 Oxley St., or P.O. Box 52, Berrima, NSW 2577, Australia, Tel. (02) 48771436 - No Fax. - E-mail: jzube@acenet.com.au - Websites: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube & supplementary literature list of LMP for PEACE PLANS 1546-1620:

http://butterbach.net/lmp/lmp_sup.htm

The PEACE PLANS series of LMP has so far reached 1768 issues, with ca. 500,000 pages, since 1977, with its titles to PP 1545 listed on the main website, on ca. 2,000 pages or close to 5 Mbs, The website also includes 6 articles on microfiching, monetary freedom & panarchism. - J.Z., 31.5.01.

Supplementary lists, alphabetical by author, with some cross references and the contents lists, by PEACE PLANS numbers, are now available too, in RTF for placement on a website or CD-ROM publishing. They come to 5.8 Mbs or 907 pages unzipped. Winzipped in plain text, they come to only 1.26 Mbs, i.e. fit onto a single floppy, which convinced my today, by my own experience, when I compiled it, that the supposedly "simple, small and outdated" floppy disk is still being far from simple, powerless and outdated.

Alas, so far I have received only one anarchist text floppy disk, from James Hutchings, containing many left anarchist texts, unzipped, but amounting only to a bit over 1 Mb. Address: James c/o P.O. Box 503, Newtown, NSW 2042, Australia. Sent free of charge in Australia. For overseas orders include something for postage. james_hutchings@ato.gov.au Anarchist News Service.

Many such floppy disks could be first steps towards libertarian CD-ROMs.

Speedy internet access to all libertarian texts is of less important than full access to all libertarian texts, in all major languages, in any affordable medium. We could not instantly read more than one essay or a book, anyhow, and 10 libertarian CD-ROMs, filled automatically with wanted texts from a complete electronic libertarian library service, if it is finally established, would already take a normal lifetime of intense libertarian reading. So, one could usually wait for such a treasure to arrive by snail mail in about 10 days, downloading only the book or books one would want to read while waiting for one's personal freedom library to arrive.

At least under present conditions and for most people, the downloading of 6500 Mbs would be expensive, labor-intensive and time-consuming and that much of one's own favorite freedom literature is not, as yet, available on the Internet.

How many libertarians can you persuade to consider this publishing and reading option for themselves, in loose collaboration and division of labor with other libertarians?

Can you extend the above list tenfold or hundred-fold? Please, do try! And if you can only add one other address, please, do that.

Preferably, quantities and kinds of digitized texts available for this should be mentioned.

PIOT, John Zube, 20.6.02.

Please reproduce the above short or the following advertisement or produce & publish better ones!

WHAT?

Complete libertarian publishing library & information services for all freedom texts not yet cheaply, permanently & easily accessible in any medium, supplementing & listing all of freedom texts etc. offered in all media, or cheaply combining them, with permission, if required.

BY WHAT MEANS?

CD-ROMs, zipped, later CVDs, then still better disks, until all freedom texts can be found on the Internet & large & multiple websites are easy, fast & cheap enough to set up, maintain & download

A public & growing list indicating all interested & inviting independent collaboration or competition.

CD-ROM disks, drives & burners are already wide-spread & cheap. CD-ROMs are commercially pressed for as little as 50 cents. Each can contain, zipped, 200 to 2,000 book titles. A lifetime's freedom reading on a mere 10 CD-ROMs! A complete freedom library on perhaps no more than 300 CD-ROMs!

Filling them will not only require extensive downloading & e-mailing of already digitized texts but also extensive digitizing, mainly as a labour of love. Luckily, scanners have become cheap & efficient & division of labour for large jobs is an ancient invention.

WHO?

Anyone interested in contributing libertarian Mbs, keyboarding, scanning, proof-reading, editing & computer skills & copyrights permissions. CD-ROMs, like microfiche & floppies, are essentially self-help media but do mostly need collaborators to fill them. With cheap, lasting, powerful & efficient alternative media anyone can be a publisher, editor & compiler.

HOW?

By keyboarding, scanning, downloading, alone or in association with others. Sending Kbs & Mbs on floppies, partly filled CD-ROMs or via e-mail
