The four versions of Orwell's 1984 in the OTA
were all prepared by the OUCS KDEM service in
1985 for Dr David C Bennett of the School of
Oriental And African Studies at London
University. The texts here have not been
encoded or proofread in any way since they were
produced (other than the English text, which was
converted to an SGML like encoding by John
Price-Wilkin, and subsequently automatically
converted to conform to the OTA's dtd by myself
and Alan Morrison. The other languages were
converted to TEI conformant SGML by the ECI
project 1993.) --LB, Nov 1992
