**The Project Guten­berg Etext of The Sea-​Gull, by An­ton Check­ov** ******This file should be named cgull10.txt or cgull10.zip*******

Cor­rect­ed EDI­TIONS of our etexts get a new NUM­BER, cgull11.txt VER­SIONS based on sep­arate sources get new LET­TER, cgull10a.txt

Project Guten­berg Etexts are usu­al­ly cre­at­ed from mul­ti­ple edi­tions, all of which are in the Pub­lic Do­main in the Unit­ed States, un­less a copy­right no­tice is in­clud­ed. There­fore, we usu­al­ly do NOT keep any of these books in com­pli­ance with any par­tic­ular pa­per edi­tion.

We are now try­ing to re­lease all our books one month in ad­vance of the of­fi­cial re­lease dates, leav­ing time for bet­ter edit­ing.

Please note: nei­ther this list nor its con­tents are fi­nal till mid­night of the last day of the month of any such an­nounce­ment. The of­fi­cial re­lease date of all Project Guten­berg Etexts is at Mid­night, Cen­tral Time, of the last day of the stat­ed month. A pre­lim­inary ver­sion may of­ten be post­ed for sug­ges­tion, com­ment and edit­ing by those who wish to do so. To be sure you have an up to date first edi­tion [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes in the first week of the next month. Since our ftp pro­gram has a bug in it that scram­bles the date [tried to fix and failed] a look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a new copy has at least one byte more or less.

In­for­ma­tion about Project Guten­berg (one page)

We pro­duce about two mil­lion dol­lars for each hour we work. The time it takes us, a rather con­ser­va­tive es­ti­mate, is fifty hours to get any etext se­lect­ed, en­tered, proof­read, edit­ed, copy­right searched and an­alyzed, the copy­right let­ters writ­ten, etc. This pro­ject­ed au­di­ence is one hun­dred mil­lion read­ers. If our val­ue per text is nom­inal­ly es­ti­mat­ed at one dol­lar then we pro­duce $2 mil­lion dol­lars per hour this year as we re­lease thir­ty-​six text files per month, or 432 more Etexts in 1999 for a to­tal of 2000+ If these reach just 10% of the com­put­er­ized pop­ula­tion, then the to­tal should reach over 200 bil­lion Etexts giv­en away this year.

The Goal of Project Guten­berg is to Give Away One Tril­lion Etext Files by De­cem­ber 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Tril­lion] This is ten thou­sand ti­tles each to one hun­dred mil­lion read­ers, which is on­ly ~5% of the present num­ber of com­put­er users.

At our re­vised rates of pro­duc­tion, we will reach on­ly one-​third of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts un­less we man­age to get some re­al fund­ing; cur­rent­ly our fund­ing is most­ly from Michael Hart's salary at Carnegie-​Mel­lon Uni­ver­si­ty, and an as­sort­ment of spo­radic gifts; this salary is on­ly good for a few more years, so we are look­ing for some­thing to re­place it, as we don't want Project Guten­berg to be so de­pen­dent on one per­son.

We need your do­na­tions more than ev­er!

All do­na­tions should be made to “Project Guten­berg/CMU”: and are tax de­ductible to the ex­tent al­low­able by law. (CMU = Carnegie- Mel­lon Uni­ver­si­ty).

***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUB­LIC DO­MAIN ETEXTS**START*** Why is this “Small Print!” state­ment here? You know: lawyers. They tell us you might sue us if there is some­thing wrong with your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from some­one oth­er than us, and even if what's wrong is not our fault. So, among oth­er things, this “Small Print!” state­ment dis­claims most of our li­abil­ity to you. It al­so tells you how you can dis­tribute copies of this etext if you want to.

*BE­FORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT By us­ing or read­ing any part of this PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etext, you in­di­cate that you un­der­stand, agree to and ac­cept this “Small Print!” state­ment. If you do not, you can re­ceive a re­fund of the mon­ey (if any) you paid for this etext by send­ing a re­quest with­in 30 days of re­ceiv­ing it to the per­son you got it from. If you re­ceived this etext on a phys­ical medi­um (such as a disk), you must re­turn it with your re­quest.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​TM ETEXTS This PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTEN­BERG- tm etexts, is a “pub­lic do­main” work dis­tribut­ed by Pro­fes­sor Michael S. Hart through the Project Guten­berg As­so­ci­ation at Carnegie-​Mel­lon Uni­ver­si­ty (the “Project”). Among oth­er things, this means that no one owns a Unit­ed States copy­right on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and dis­tribute it in the Unit­ed States with­out per­mis­sion and with­out pay­ing copy­right roy­al­ties. Spe­cial rules, set forth be­low, ap­ply if you wish to copy and dis­tribute this etext un­der the Project's “PROJECT GUTEN­BERG” trade­mark.

To cre­ate these etexts, the Project ex­pends con­sid­er­able ef­forts to iden­ti­fy, tran­scribe and proof­read pub­lic do­main works. De­spite these ef­forts, the Project's etexts and any medi­um they may be on may con­tain “De­fects”. Among oth­er things, De­fects may take the form of in­com­plete, in­ac­cu­rate or cor­rupt da­ta, tran­scrip­tion er­rors, a copy­right or oth­er in­tel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty in­fringe­ment, a de­fec­tive or dam­aged disk or oth­er etext medi­um, a com­put­er virus, or com­put­er codes that dam­age or can­not be read by your equip­ment.

LIM­IT­ED WAR­RAN­TY; DIS­CLAIMER OF DAM­AGES But for the “Right of Re­place­ment or Re­fund” de­scribed be­low, [1] the Project (and any oth­er par­ty you may re­ceive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm etext) dis­claims all li­abil­ity to you for dam­ages, costs and ex­pens­es, in­clud­ing le­gal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REME­DIES FOR NEG­LI­GENCE OR UN­DER STRICT LI­ABIL­ITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WAR­RAN­TY OR CON­TRACT, IN­CLUD­ING BUT NOT LIM­IT­ED TO IN­DI­RECT, CON­SE­QUEN­TIAL, PUNI­TIVE OR IN­CI­DEN­TAL DAM­AGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NO­TICE OF THE POS­SI­BIL­ITY OF SUCH DAM­AGES.

If you dis­cov­er a De­fect in this etext with­in 90 days of re­ceiv­ing it, you can re­ceive a re­fund of the mon­ey (if any) you paid for it by send­ing an ex­plana­to­ry note with­in that time to the per­son you re­ceived it from. If you re­ceived it on a phys­ical medi­um, you must re­turn it with your note, and such per­son may choose to al­ter­na­tive­ly give you a re­place­ment copy. If you re­ceived it elec­tron­ical­ly, such per­son may choose to al­ter­na­tive­ly give you a sec­ond op­por­tu­ni­ty to re­ceive it elec­tron­ical­ly.

THIS ETEXT IS OTH­ER­WISE PRO­VID­ED TO YOU “AS-​IS”. NO OTH­ER WAR­RANTIES OF ANY KIND, EX­PRESS OR IM­PLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDI­UM IT MAY BE ON, IN­CLUD­ING BUT NOT LIM­IT­ED TO WAR­RANTIES OF MER­CHANTABIL­ITY OR FIT­NESS FOR A PAR­TIC­ULAR PUR­POSE.

Some states do not al­low dis­claimers of im­plied war­ranties or the ex­clu­sion or lim­ita­tion of con­se­quen­tial dam­ages, so the above dis­claimers and ex­clu­sions may not ap­ply to you, and you may have oth­er le­gal rights.

IN­DEM­NI­TY You will in­dem­ni­fy and hold the Project, its di­rec­tors, of­fi­cers, mem­bers and agents harm­less from all li­abil­ity, cost and ex­pense, in­clud­ing le­gal fees, that arise di­rect­ly or in­di­rect­ly from any of the fol­low­ing that you do or cause: [1] dis­tri­bu­tion of this etext, [2] al­ter­ation, mod­ifi­ca­tion, or ad­di­tion to the etext, or [3] any De­fect.

DIS­TRI­BU­TION UN­DER “PROJECT GUTEN­BERG-​tm” You may dis­tribute copies of this etext elec­tron­ical­ly, or by disk, book or any oth­er medi­um if you ei­ther delete this “Small Print!” and all oth­er ref­er­ences to Project Guten­berg, or:

[1] On­ly give ex­act copies of it. Among oth­er things, this re­quires that you do not re­move, al­ter or mod­ify the etext or this “small print!” state­ment. You may how­ev­er, if you wish, dis­tribute this etext in ma­chine read­able bi­na­ry, com­pressed, mark-​up, or pro­pri­etary form, in­clud­ing any form re­sult­ing from con­ver­sion by word pro- cess­ing or hy­per­text soft­ware, but on­ly so long as *EI­THER*:

[*] The etext, when dis­played, is clear­ly read­able, and does *not* con­tain char­ac­ters oth­er than those in­tend­ed by the au­thor of the work, al­though tilde (~), as­ter­isk (*) and un­der­line (_) char­ac­ters may be used to con­vey punc­tu­ation in­tend­ed by the au­thor, and ad­di­tion­al char­ac­ters may be used to in­di­cate hy­per­text links; OR

[*] The etext may be read­ily con­vert­ed by the read­er at no ex­pense in­to plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equiv­alent form by the pro­gram that dis­plays the etext (as is the case, for in­stance, with most word pro­ces­sors); OR

[*] You pro­vide, or agree to al­so pro­vide on re­quest at no ad­di­tion­al cost, fee or ex­pense, a copy of the etext in its orig­inal plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC or oth­er equiv­alent pro­pri­etary form).

[2] Hon­or the etext re­fund and re­place­ment pro­vi­sions of this “Small Print!” state­ment.

[3] Pay a trade­mark li­cense fee to the Project of 20% of the net prof­its you de­rive cal­cu­lat­ed us­ing the method you al­ready use to cal­cu­late your ap­pli­ca­ble tax­es. If you don't de­rive prof­its, no roy­al­ty is due. Roy­al­ties are payable to “Project Guten­berg As­so­ci­ation/Carnegie-​Mel­lon Uni­ver­si­ty” with­in the 60 days fol­low­ing each date you pre­pare (or were legal­ly re­quired to pre­pare) your an­nu­al (or equiv­alent pe­ri­od­ic) tax re­turn.

WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MON­EY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO? The Project grate­ful­ly ac­cepts con­tri­bu­tions in mon­ey, time, scan­ning ma­chines, OCR soft­ware, pub­lic do­main etexts, roy­al­ty free copy­right li­cens­es, and ev­ery oth­er sort of con­tri­bu­tion you can think of. Mon­ey should be paid to “Project Guten­berg As­so­ci­ation / Carnegie-​Mel­lon Uni­ver­si­ty”.
