Hi folks,

I finally got up the energy to type in the Bill of Rights and to correct the
7 or 8 typos that were in my original offering of the US Constitution.
Unlike before, I have dispensed with compressing and uuencoding.  The file is
on 27K and ti's more pain int the ass than it is worth to save 8K.  The
Constitution is in the file called "cons.cp". a cpio archive that can be undone
with:
	cat cons.cp | cpio -icumv

Immediately after cons.cp is the file "bor" which contains the troff source
for the first 10 amendment to the Constitution.  It is a straight ASCII file.

I have carefully gone over both files for spelling and punctuation errors.  As
far as I have been able to tell, they are clean and correct.  The files both
follow immediately after this line terminates, so have fun folks!

	-Andy V.
