I found portable Calibre, which pleases me immensely - and here is what I'd like for it to do:

Take a folder of plain TXT files - do the most basic possible conversion to EPUB, save them using JUST the filenames they have (as in filename.TXT-> filename.EPUB), and save in the same folder...

Don't catalog them - don't make - extraneous copies - don't transfer them to anyplace or anything - don't 'help' me out in any fancy way...JUST convert 'em !

Is this possible ?

Last time I used Calibre it did WAAAAY more stuff than I wanted and saved copies of copies of copies of stuff that were just not needed...

Thanks !
