It's not too hard. Mobiperl is a collection of about 6 .exes (Windows Dist). One of them is lit2mobi. Just run it on the command line without parameters and it gives you the command line instructions. There's a few threads on the forum about it if you get stuck. BOb |

You install clit which is in convertlit. lit2moobi uses the external pogram clit. Make sure that clit is in your path.

Tompe
I have litconvert or convertlit installed. What does it mean to say "in your path"? How do I do that? |

I never remember how to set the path in Windows. Goggle gives for example: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm |

Go to "Control Panel". Run the "System" application. Click the "Advanced" tab, and then the "Environment Variables" button. Edit the variable called "Path".
The edited path will only take effect in processes created after it's been edited, so you need to open a new command prompt window. |

Ok. I have the programme in the same directory, all on the desktop at the moment. Do I use the compiled version or another version?

My setup is as follows: Mobiperl is located in C:\mobiperl together with the ConvertLIT executable (clit.exe). I appended "C:\mobiperl" to my PATH-variable in the way described by Harry above. (Since you're on Vista, it might work a little differently, but the basic idea should be the same.) Then, what I do is simply change to the directory on the CLI and execute the commands I gave above. You can choose whatever directory you like for the programs, just as long as you put in in the path. Another option would be to associate LIT-files with lit2mobi. That would get rid of the need to put in in the path, but is a little more complicated. Upside is, you would just need to double click on a file to do a conversion. |

Having tools in the path allows you to run them from any directory. You can view what your path is by typing "set" and press enter at a cmd prompt. Look for the PATH= line. BOb |

I don't like putting my own files into the system folder, Bob; I find it "cleaner" to have a separate folder for my own files. It really doesn't take more than a few seconds to add a folder to the path, and once it's done, it's done.

All my commonly-used tools I have in a folder called "C:\Tools" which, as you describe, is at the start of my path.
