so, james, i'm finally getting around to trying to figure out what to do about you and your book, and whether i can help you. so i did a compare between a file of the book from december 22nd and just the other day... and i see some interesting stuff... :+) i expected to find you'd done a few more pages, with everything before them basically the same, and everything after them still left untouched... but what i actually found is that you have been doing some book-wide global-change editing, including a mass fix of spacey doublequotes, and some global-change name replacements. looks like you also did a hunt for em-dashes... well done, my friend. i'm sure it was all your idea, and a good idea it was, sir! i applaud your accomplishments... anyway... i think what i would need to do is to _rewrap_ the file back to its original p-book linebreaks, and reintroduce indicators for the pagebreaks. that's what it would take to put it in my system. i'm willing to _try_ to do those things, to see if it's relatively _easy_ to do them, and -- if so -- (but there are no guarantees!), then i would be able to build a system for you. will you use it? if not, i won't bother. but if so, i'll give it a try. -bowerbird
