   My apologies. I hadn't noticed that these did not have authors' names   
   after the title. I picked them off various BBS's since that's where   
   one found stuff back in the 80's ... I started downloading text files   
   of this genre from BBS's like Columbia and Stanford and Berkeley over   
   a high end 300 baud modem back in the late '70's. Why? Because I   
   could! I suspect they were written by people who, today, would rather   
   not know they were still in existence (grin).   
      
   I have the originals intact with full formatting and everything if   
   you'd rather I put them up in RTF.
