In the following, a list of known types of gita-s is given.
Only the Bhagavadgita and Ashtavakragita are available in transliterated as
well as translated form.

We need to identify and extract some of the remaing gita-s, 
especially from Mahabharata, from the encoding done by Prof. Tokunaga
and his students.  It will help to know the beginning and ending
shloka-s to pull out such portions.  The transliterated files
of Ramayana and Mahabharata are available at anonymous or WWW sites such as
chandra.cis.brown.edu  or http://chandra.cis.brown.edu
and others.\footnote{
