[S10] POSTSCRIPT
=====================
COPYLEFT. The bibliography above is copyright (c) Robin Cover,
December 1991. Everyone is granted permission to freely copy and

PERSPICUITY IN PUNCTUATION. Several painful compromises have been
required to produce this network-safe ASCII version. Somewhat against
the spirit of SGML, I have used angle brackets to delimit entry
numbers, both serially and as cross-references; any editor supporting
regular-expressions can be used to convert these particular delimiters
to conventional square-brackets. [Ed. note: This has been done to avoid
conflict with HYPLUS - R. Muns] Likewise, the use of parentheses for
square brackets in running text is infelicitous, where the latter more
clearly signified (editorially) added text, and nested better within
parenthesized expressions. SGML character entities have been used to
represent extended ASCII accented characters, for which I offer no
apology: anyone wishing to print the bibliography on paper copy should
first change out these entities (e.g., é, É, ü,
à, ø, ç, č).
Thus, with the exception of @ ("@" IRV 4/0 = decimal 64), I
have restricted the character set to the 'safe' subset of (non-
national-use) ISO 646 IRV characters, but at the risk of complete
clarity in a few contexts. According to network authorities, use of
any characters outside the following 'safe' ISO 646 subset is
dangerous, especially across national boundaries, since unanticipated
and often undetectable instances of EBCDIC-ASCII translation during
transmission will have mutagenic effects upon the 'non-safe' IRV/ASCII
characters. This wisdom warns that the 'safe' ISO 646 subset contains
ONLY the following (non national-use) characters:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
" % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; [ = ] ? _ SPACE (SP, IRV 2/0)
