There are two versions of the Michigan Early Modern English
Materials included on this tape.  One retains every special
character marked in the original file, rendering them in
the style 
	&char;
where char is the character that followed an asterisk.  Such
characters include the long s and more common special forms of
characters such as r and m, and so are rendered &s; &r; and &m;.  
This file is called MEMEM.spec-chars.Z and is compressed (standard 
UNIX "compress").  The other file retains only 
	&amp;	ampersand
	&A;	upper case ash
	&a;	lower case ash
	&O;	upper case oe ligature
	&o;	lower case oe ligature
	&D;	upper case edth
	&d;	lower case edth
	&T;	upper case thorn
	&t;	lower case thorn

	&ss;	eszet
and is found as MEMEM.

routines whose validity was loosely "checked" with multidocs.  Multidocs,
a utility prepared by Open Text, Inc., ascertains that tag sets are
paired and that they don't overlap (e.g . . .
