well, except your program doesn't run on my machine, jim.    :+)

besides, i don't think you've released your program, have you?
not even to the list here, let alone to the world at large.   right?

further, although i have written such a program several times,
i am still not satisfied that it is friendly and transparent enough,
even for the relatively sophisticated person i'd expect as a user.

and the brief exposure i had to some output from your program
seemed like it was even more unfriendly than what mine gives...

so i'm kinda skeptical.

but fine, i'm always open for a demo.

wrap your p.g. version of huck to the scan-set you used.

better yet, give your app to someone else, and write up
instructions for them (and all of us) how they can do it.

don't forget that you need to include the pagebreaks too.

and it would be best if you got the end-line-hyphenates
exactly right, but it's ok if you join them on the top line
or the bottom line, as long as it's consistent throughout.

you just do the text.   i'll code a tool to splice in the scans.

take your time, jim.   but if it's as quick-and-easy as you say...
