So many people make the same mistake, myself included, mea culpa. They do 99% of the work and then expect the world to beat a path to their doorstep to get their new mousetrap. As that wisest of all modern philosophers says: "It ain't over 'til it's over." mh On Sat, 5 Dec 2009, Bowerbird@aol.com wrote:

You've been encouraged in a couple of ways to go for it. If there is something you need to demonstrate your ideas, I will try to help. The only thing I don't have is someone to do it for you, or to pick up on your examples and apply them to gutenberg.org.
i didn't understand sufficiently at first, and others do not sufficiently understand yet, as represented by greg's autopilot response, but jim has already _done_ all of the work...
the files are even now sitting on his website.
as such, they can be accessed there, it is true.
but i guess jim thinks -- and i would agree -- that they will have greater prominence if they were to be posted on the p.g. website itself...
plus, of course, the files need to be updated as new e-texts are released. but that process could be managed with a script that's trivial...
jim shrouded his request in a plethora of moans, but at base he's really not asking for much at all.
show you take his work seriously. post his files.
