The Life Lexicon may be copied, modified and distributed under the terms of the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported</a> licence (CC BY-SA 3.0). <p>You can <a href="lex.htm">view the Life Lexicon on-line</a>, or download it in various forms, as shown in the table below. If you want the Lexicon in HTML, note that the single-page version can be difficult to use on some older systems due to its size, in which case you may prefer to use the multipage version. If you are a <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html">GNU Emacs</a> user, then the ASCII version with its <tt>lifelex.el</tt> is recommended. <p> <div align="center"> <table cellpadding="5" border summary="download options"> <tr align="center"> <td colspan="2">Life Lexicon, Release 25<br>2006 February 28 <tr align="center"> <td><a href="lex_asc.zip">download plain text (ASCII) version</a> <td>87K zip archive <tr align="center"> <td><a href="lex_htm1.zip">download single-page HTML version</a> <td>92K zip archive <tr align="center"> <td><a href="lex_htm2.zip">download multipage HTML version</a> <td>138K zip archive <tr align="center"> <td><a href="lex_src.zip">download source distribution</a> <td>116K zip archive </table> </div> <p>Note that the source distribution consists of the ASCII version plus the files needed to generate the HTML versions.

This mailing list is only used for notification of new releases, so the traffic on it should amount to about two or three messages a year (judging by the past rate of new releases, which, however, is very erratic).
