ConvertLIT 1.8, the most recent version available from the official site.

Is it possible for you to back-port your fixes back into ConvertLIT?
Granted, getting it into the "official" version might be difficult, but what about posting (here) a diff against the latest sources?
It would certainly be possible, and I did post a patch for the hyperlink bug when I found it, but I'm not sure of the benefit. Getting the changes into the "official" version would seem at this point to be less difficult than impossible -- there haven't been any updates to the ConvertLIT site in 4 years and the maintainer hasn't been responding to e-mail. Someone else could take over the project, but with the official site still up and the maintainer MIA, it would be a competing project anyway.

Is there something stopping you from being able to just migrate to calibre for all your LIT-extraction needs?
