Peter,
Great stack to parse and save the Gutemberg's books without having to
download them ! Congratulations and thanks for sharing it with all of
us !
The Mac OS X standalone don't start there for yet but the stack is
running OK in the Rev 3.0 IDE. (Mac OS X 10.5.6 / MacBook Pro Core Duo
2 Go RAM).
The Win32 standalone start and run fine under VirtualBox 2.14 / Win XP
Pro.
Again, thanks for this great piece of Rev !
Best Regards,

I've uploaded a stack to my userspace at RevOnline (user name
pmbrig) called The Gutenberg Reader. Bug reports, comments, and
feedback are appreciated.
From the help text:
"The Gutenberg Reader is literally an entire library of over 30,000
volumes, right on your desktop. Well, almost literally. The Reader
is designed to import and display etexts generated by Project
Gutenberg™. These are free public domain texts available online —
the Gutenberg catalog has over 30,000 books (and growing), and with
their partners and affiliates makes over 100,000 titles available to
anyone with internet access. Any of the Gutenberg texts are
accessible within a couple minutes from within the Reader.
"The Gutenberg pages are actually designed to be viewed with any web
browser, without any additional application or software required,
and you don't really have to use the Reader to access them. However,
the Reader downloads a Gutenberg text and replaces simple quotes
with curly quotation marks, double dashes with m-dashes, gets rid of
the end-of-line characters within paragraphs, and presents the text
in a book-like layout, using the fontface of your choice. You can
navigate easily through the book with mouseclicks or using the
arrowkeys, set a bookmark, and make notes on any passage. The result
is a completely different reading experience from what you are
probably used to on a computer screen."
The Reader is also available in a standalone application at

Many thanks to all on this list who have helped me (mostly
unknowingly) over the years I have been (mostly) lurking in the
background. I have picked up countless tips on the vicissitudes of
Rev without which I'd have been lost. Some of us benefit quietly
from all the amazing information shared here, and we may not always
speak up about it.
a grateful amateur,
Peter M. Brigham
