   Hi Wilfred.   
      
   09 Feb 24 12:31, you wrote to Jay Harris:

   Yes. Now with older GoldED:   
      
   ===   
      
   What is Lorem Ipsum?   
      
   Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.   
   Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,   
   when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type   
   specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into   
   electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in   
   the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages,   
   and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker   
   including versions of Lorem Ipsum.   
   Why do we use it?   
      
   It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable   
   content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum   
   is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to   
   using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many   
   desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their   
   default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites   
   still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years,   
   sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).   
      
   Where does it come from?   
      
   Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has   
   roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000   
   years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in   
   Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a   
   Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical   
   literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections   
   1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good   
   and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory   
   of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum,   
   "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.   
      
   The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for   
   those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et   
   Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form,   
   accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.   
   Where can I get some?   
      
   There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the   
   majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or   
   randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going   
   to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything   
   embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on   
   the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the   
   first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin   
   words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem   
   Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always   
   free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
