Re: supplementary-reader: text reader script

Hello Forrest,

I'm very much interested in your script.  I do not know how to get the 
software from git and I currently do not have the time to find a way to 
run it and try it out.  There was a long discussion on the topic of text 
readers on KDE not long ago.  This is the subject line:

"Is there a project that is jovie successor?"

Perhaps you might find it relevant.  Gustav
