machine readable binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
including any form resulting from conversion by word processing or
hyper- text software, but only so long as *EITHER*:
[*] The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable. We consider an etext
*not* clearly readable if it contains characters other than those intended

(_) characters may be used to convey punctuation intended by the
author, and additional characters may be used to indicate hypertext
links.
[*] 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).
[*] 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).

trademark, you incur no obligation to charge money or earn profits for
your distribution.
