Stolfi in "[]" ] # # [ The file fsg.new is a ] combined version of all First Study Group # transcriptions found in William F. Friedman Collection, Marshall # Library, Lexington, Virginia. # # These are: # # Item 1609, an almost complete transcription of all of the VMS # # A transcription found in folder 1613, of f111v through f114r # # An unnumbered item, seemingly a partial draft of 1609, of f41r - f58r # # Comments in item 1609 have not been transfered to this file. # # These have been edited together, with points of difference indicated # thus: toma[y|h]to, meaning the one version reads tomayto and the other # reads tomahto. # # Line ends have been marked with - and paragraph ends with = # # Line ends have been ruthlessly supplied from other partial transcriptions # of the VMS and in some cases from inspection of photocopies. # # Since much of the the FSG transcription was unchecked, there are numerous # transcription blunders, caused by eye skip, line omission, and possibly # by IBM card loss. In some cases these mistakes were so severe that it # was impossible to insert line ends correctly. # # [ Many additional line breaking and ordering errors in the FSG # transcriptions were fixed by J. Stolfi, after conversion to EVA. # Most (but probably not all) of these fixes are listed in section # . ] #
