ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: No warranty is expressed or implied regarding the copyright status of the text of the infobases on this site that were compiled from other sites on the internet. While these have been taken in good faith to be in the public domain, it's impossible to determine whether the site from which they were downloaded was itself not displaying a copyright and was also unaware of one. If any text here is copyrighted and I am unaware of it please imform me, providing proof of copyright ownership, and it will be removed.

Some people have asked if it is ok with Infobases that I am doing this. Let me explain how this works. Folio makes the Views software. Infobases pays them ($1 for example) for each copy of Views (the program) that comes with the CL infobase (an "infobase" is just the file format, like a .wpd document). Infobases has nothing to do with it since they just use the views software to create their infobases of church-related material. Now, if they were given permission (and only them) to make infobases of this stuff, that would be different.

Folio does have controls set up for the distribution of "bound infobases" that only the Infobase Production Kit could make, but now they have the Folio Web Retriever, that can make bound infobases! That's all I used, and as far as I know, there aren't any restrictions stating I can't distribute files that it has made. Hopefully, this will answer a few questions.

A word of warning about quoting from electronic text: There are always inherent errors introduced while scanning text. For example, in the Collectors Library '95, There is this nice, little error, highlighted in bold:

Joseph Fielding Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, Vol.4, p.58
The greatest debt we owe is to our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, for the great blessings of immorality and eternal life. Immorality is the gift vouchsafed to every soul, for the edict has gone forth from the throne of God that the resurrection must be just as broad as the fall.

Therefore, do not hold me personally responsible for errors in the text. If you find any, please let me know and I'll correct them, but you are warned. It is a good practice to actually find the appropriate source and copy it from there, rather than blindly copying and pasting from electronic text in general.

Also, batteries not included! :-)
