Some of the text of included documents will be in languages that use diacritics. For languages like Spanish, French, and German, this is not a problem. For languages like Croatian, Romanian, Czech and Polish, such characters are not yet easily defined in html. Such characters in included documents will be altered to give the base letter without the diacritic and will pose no problem to those familiar with the language in question. If that editing is not successful, you will just see some strange characters or phrases. This will sometimes also happen with mathematical formulae. See Croatian Characters.
The text documents for this page were mostly Microsoft Word
documents in their original form, saved in RTF format and then converted
to HTML using a shareware program called rtftohtml. The figures were
originally PICT files and were converted to GIF format using
GraphicsConverter1.7.8.
I have not tried any fancy formatting of tables but have just let the
rtf to html converter handle them; it simply puts a <PRE >
in front of a table. Subsequent editings were done directly on the html
file in MS Word 97.
Unpublished papers provided on this home page are prepublication drafts or working papers and should not be cited, reproduced, or redistributed without the express permission of the author(s). Published papers made available on this home page are the electronic equivalent of author's reprints and should not be reproduced or redistributed. Some publishers seem quite reluctant to allow the WEB posting of papers submitted, in press, or published in print versions (University of Chicago Press, for example). If I have permissions problems with such publishers I will endeavor to post a paper for some span of days (3?) if you request it by email, and then take it off the WEB again until the next request. Such papers will be flagged in the list.
