Hi Greg - I might be able to help you out with making a plain-text version. Since I'm on Linux it's not going to be a problem, I can convert it back to DOS text format with unix2dos after I'm done. It can give me something to do while DP's down when it undergoes its changeover tonight. Let me know if you'd like me to take care of it for you.

Anyone feel like wrestling with file conversion? I've just put this file for download: http://pglaf.org/~gbnewby/dante.zip
It contains three RTF files, plus a JPG image. I think only dante-inferno is an intact file, though.
The task is to create a plain text file in ISO-8859-1 encoding, but to properly identify and save the footnotes (as endnotes).
I've been messing with this in MS Word (for Mac) and a few OpenOffice variations, and just can't get it to save right. It might be that it just needs some tender loving hand-editing to create a plain text version.
Please let me (& the list) know if you might be able to spend some time with this.
I think the footnotes in the other two volumes (purgatorio & paradiso) are missing, and am asking the author for them.
Thanks! Greg _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/listinfo.cgi/gutvol-d
