yay, another update!  "prhpr-005.zml" is now online:
>   http://zenmagiclove.com/prhpr/prhpr-005.zml

there were 7,607 lines changed from "002" to "003".
and there were 515 lines edited from "003" to "004".
and 275 lines were revised between "004" and "005".

as we complete more of the "global"-type changes,
the number of edits decreases, as you would expect.

as before, you can view all of the revised lines via:
>   http://zenmagiclove.com/prhpr/docomp45.py

and yes, the pattern continues with an .html file:
>   http://zenmagiclove.com/prhpr/prhpr-005h.html

plus we've now updated all the page-by-page files:
>   http://zenmagiclove.com/prhpr/prhprp222.html
you will have to adjust the zoom-level and the size
of your browser-window for the best presentation.

as i said up above, many of the "global"-type edits
have now been done.  that's the fun part for me --
seeing what find-and-replace operations are needed,
predicting how many "hits" each one will enjoy, and
then seeing how accurate i guessed, all while moving
the book toward perfection via thousands of changes
-- but from here on out, it loses much of its appeal,
at least for me.  turns into something more like work,
and then into a job (an unpaid job), so i ain't gonna
continue with this much longer.  but i will do a _few_
more steps, to show you, and see how they turn out.

the first one is to drop the text into a little app that
spits out all the words that are not in the dictionary.
that's absolutely the fastest way to find o.c.r. errors.

i might (or might not) fix the bulk of those errors...

yet another step i'll do is compare this text to a file
that is _clean_, using the scans to resolve any diffs...
that's also how i'll inject the styling the o.c.r. left out.

all that will give me an output that is extremely solid.

from there, it'll be time to call in the beta-readers...

so, what've you been doing the last couple days?    ;+)

p.s.  so nobody noticed that thing i've been hinting?
