for want of better text, i've now loaded in
the original o.c.r. for the "book of james".

>   http://z-m-l.com/go/bhaga/bhagap123.html

this isn't the edit interface, it's just a skeleton
to display the o.c.r./scan combo for each page.

resizing your browser-window resizes the scan.

so james, if you want me to pursue this at all,
send me your corrected files.  otherwise, i will
just be done with it.

i'd love to see an xhtml tutorial on this book...

lotta unused space on my 23-inch screen.

anyway, all you people who bellyache about
"open source" need to step up to the plate...
go over and help roger code something cool.
show that you really _deserve_ open source...

aha!  that's great.  i didn't think the gerbils
would have enough manual dexterity...  but
_elves_ are very handy with their... hands...

oh, they don't have to be able to code at all.

just tell them to run these commands:

>   pandoc -i criterion.html -o markdown.md
>   pandoc -i criterion.html -o rst.rst
>   pandoc -i markdown.md -o markdown.html
>   pandoc -i rst.rst -o rst.html

if criterion.html and markdown.html and rst.html
are not "sufficiently similar", let me know why not.

ok, i get it now.  it's on _my_ machine.
i thought you issued it on archive.org.

i can't thank you enough for that, carlo;
this ends a years-long headache for me.
