Hmm - personally I would rather the rows and columns removal were optional. I am willing to risk a little eyestrain to get the original look of the page =).
EDIT: Downloaded the source and ran that - lol - no wonder it didn't work very well. The pwf script did work though - but I'm guessing that's why none of the other stuff worked. Just downloaded the windows.exe and tried to run it in wine - no luck. Anyone else get this working in linux?
EDIT2:
http://foosoft.net/mangle/ says running the mangle script is what I needed to do in ubuntu (further down the page).
Either way's fine - the other software sucks all my resources, so if I can get this working I'd be thankful.
