Longtime TR fans have developed a set of shortcut acronyms for use when
discussing TR and his work.  For the new fans, and maybe some of the old, 
here's a handy guide:
EOF
print &htmltable("The Unofficial TR Acronym, Abbreviation and Insider's Reference Guide (TUTRAAIRG)","border");
while(<DATA>){
last if /^END$/;
chop;
push(@acro,$_);
}
foreach $acro (sort {"\U$a" cmp "\U$b"} @acro){
print &htmlrow(split(/\t/,$acro));
}
print &htmltableend;
print <<EOF;
For further description of some of these terms, see

<h2>What about all these versions of "The Individualist?"</h2>
For those of you confused by the various formats in which The Individualist has
been released, here's my short summary.
<dl>
<dt>CD
<dd>A traditional CD on Pony Canyon records, non-interactive, but includes
lyrics and a photo insert. It was released there first in this format
presumably because that's where TR was contractually obligated to do so. 
There is no US CD only version.
<dt>
CD-e (Enhanced CD)
<dd>
CD-e includes all 10 audio tracks, which can be played on a conventional CD
players, as well as non-audio data that can be executed on Macintosh and MS
Windows platforms.  It includes graphics to accompany the songs,
interactive access to the lyrics, and some video for a live
version of "Facist Christ."
<p>
<dt>cassette
<dd>The cassette version was released because there was no US CD product to
sell, so all songs were released in a linear, non-interactive version. No
lyrics or themed sleeve included.
<p>
<dt>CD-I (No World Order, but not the Individualist)
<dd>CD-I is the format used by Philips for their interactive CD player.  The
NWO version allowed one to choose mood, speed, and other paramenters to select
the mix of the audio experience.
<p>
There's also the CD-ROM versions for Mac and PC that is different from the CD-i
version.  The NWO release on CD-ROM is basically the same as the CD-I release.  The CD-I and CD-ROM versions are not playable on a conventional CD player.
