Problem is that bookmangler isn't cross-platform, or wasn't last I
checked.  Those of us with Linux on our desktops are left out.

(Though the last time I saw library reader I wasn't terribly impressed

What happened?  (Excuse the digression: the place I worked at 20 years
ago was a successful MarkIV installation.  They replaced an awful lot of
COBOL code with it, and the couple of people we had that really "got"
MarkIV were terrifically productive.)
