ok, in discussing one of the books on rfrank's roundless test-site,
i remarked that the scans were badly done, uncharacteristic of roger.

much more in keeping with his typical level of quality are the scans
from a new book on the site, a biography about nathan hale, so i've
scraped and remounted those scans on my site, and will do the book.

as i've been doing lately, the last page of the book shows the changes
that i made to the file to clean it up, to show people how simple it is...

this book has a lot of correspondence in it (so it has salutations and
signatures and stuff like that), and i haven't done such books before,
so i'm gonna have to figure out how to handle all of that in z.m.l.,
which means looking at a bunch of p.g. e-texts to see how people
have represented them in the .txt versions up to this point in time...

meanwhile, i'm just dealing with them in a presentational manner,
either left-justifying or centering or right-justifying, as appropriate.
it should be easy to see how i've indicated that by viewing the pages.
(i simply used underbars and equal-signs to indicate each of them.)

the book still needs some work.  but even now, it's a demonstration
of how quickly one person can make a book available to the public...
